Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Got to see more areas than we expected and learned a lot about the area. Very friendly and years of experience so you know you are in good hands.

Estuvimos el 15 de enero y la visita fue fantástica, Rui es un gran guía. Además hablamos de pájaros, vimos un alca muy cerca y algunos cormoranes que ya tenían plumaje nupcial ;-).

This boat tour was the highlight of our trip. Rui took us into caves, along beaches, through rock arches: each scene more incredible than the last. He was a great guide - safe, charming, and friendly. He was adventurous enough for the three 20-something young men in the group, but safe enough for the three sixty- year olds to enjoy, as well. When we decided at the last minute to do another boat tour, I emailed Rui and within minutes, although he was booked, he set us up with a friend, and we had another spectacular day. Book with Rui and Lagos Boat Tours! You will not regret it.

Could the ratings be true?? Our family of nine booked our tour partly because of the incredible 5star reviews and also partly doubting that rating was true. It was!!! We add our own 5***** to the long list. We had a wonderful tour, informative, personal, awe-inspiring.

The tour was fantastic and beautiful. We learned several historical facts as well as the perfect photo op spots. Rui is extremely knowledgable about the area and shared stories of growing up here, which made the tour even more interesting. Definitely get on the water with Rui to see the true Algarve.

Excelente tour a cargo de una empresa local pequeña, con precios muy buenos y una alta calidad. Nos explicaron en español de una manera muy entretenida, el guía muy amable y cálido. Un excelente navegante por lo que el tour vale la pena y más si es con esta empresa.

Amazing Rui and Daniel are incredibly nice people! They went above and beyond to make sure we had one of the best boat tour experiences in our life. This boat tour is incredibly highly recommended. We've had boat tours in Santorini Greece, and Venice Italy, and though every one of them are charming in their own way, this boat tour is unforgettable and probably even one of a kind due to the beautiful stone structures and caves in the ocean, which Rui safely took us into see them! Amazing!!!

Beautiful and Informative Tour guide was really informative and funny — even though we went in the winter which was a bit chilly, the caves were really beautiful and the colour of the water was amazing. Spent a decent amount of time looking at each cave as well!

Scenic intermixed with some excitement. Tour was very interesting. The start of the tour is purely scenic, but as you approach some of the coastal caves things get a bit exciting. Very skilled boat operator. Very nice and informative. We really enjoyed the trip and the scenery. Worth it!

Fantastic Service Wow! It was a beautiful experience, more like a private tour. Our captain, Rui Pedro, was exceptional. He was attentive and answered all the wired questions my 9yr old was asking. He also speaks excellent English. I highly recommend Lagos Boat Tours

Great trip for families and group of people It was 8 of us and we all enjoyed this boat trip along the coast line very much!!! The tour guide was very pleasant and informative. The ocean was a bit rough that day but the guide had a great control of the boat so we felt safe. We all would recommend this trip to everyone and can definitely say that it was worth the money paid! This trip is a must when visiting Lagos!

What a lovely boat trip the staff were lovely and their knowledge of Lagos was excellent. For €60 for two of us, it was well worth it, thank you.

The best excursion ever! I went on this trip in July 2020, on the day when we all gathered, the weather was not so good and we were offered to move it for the next day when it was not cloudy. It was very much appreciated because we could really enjoy the sunset with all those beautiful colors in the sky. We also went through all the coolest caves starting from Potato beach, the guide was so good forwarding the boat into the caves we thought it was impossible to enter. I'll never forget this experience and will repeat it when I'm in the area again. Great Staff, great places, best view, interesting stories on the way. If there were more stars than 5, I'd surely give the maximum! Simply superb!

Take this tour with Rui was the best we did in Lagos. He is a really high skilled sailor and we went to unbelievable places just because of his talent. Lagos is Amazing by itself but Rui made our holidays even better. Thank you and I highly recommend taking this tour. You won’t regret

Fizemos o nosso passeio dia 8 de Setembro com o Sr. Rui, foi excelente, sempre atencioso e simpático, um bom profissional. Algumas grutas são de difícil acesso e o mar estava crespo, e ele soube sempre comandar bem. Obrigado pela magnífica manhã Sr. Rui e felicidades para o negócio. Filomena Novais

Adorei o passeio com o capitão Rui Pedro! Fizemos o Passeio às Grutas da Ponta da Piedade e foi fantástico. Ele entrou em todas as grutas porque tem um barco mais pequeno que as outras empresas que saem da Marina de Lagos. Ele deu-nos tempo suficiente para fazermos muitas fotos e explicou-nos todos os pormenores das grutas e a história em torno da Ponta da Piedade. Recomendo a 100%. Muito obrigado Rui Pedro! Até à próxima!

Rui is a great tour guide and knows the grottos like the back of his hand! We did the sunset cruise and the colors were awesome. Also, there were only a couple other boats out at that time, so we had the grottos to ourselves. Go with Logos Boat Tours and you won't be sorry!
