1,5 hour trip
Hetta_I, October 2026
Just what we ordered. A nice trip on a boat watching the coast of Portugal. The crew was nice, the guide spoke good english and was funny. Our whole family liked the trip a lot and we surely recommend it! The 1,5 hour trip was good length, but we could have been longer. Very big thanks to the crew of our trip!
Response from the operator · atlantistou Thank you very much for your review, Hetta.
It's lovely to hear that the whole family enjoyed the trip! We're glad our crew made you feel welcome and that our guide added some humour along the way. Knowing you would have happily stayed on board a little longer is a great compliment!
Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We hope to see you and your family again on another trip!

Good tour
Sarah_P, October 2026
Tour of the caves was great. The staff on the boat were friendly and informative. Even though we didn't start until half an hour later than expected, we did see everything that was mentioned in the itinerary. We ended up being on a boat with a lot more people than was advertised. We thought we were paying for a smaller group. Overall it was a good experience.
Response from the operator · atlantistou Thank you very much for your review, Sarah. We are very pleased to know that you enjoyed the cave tour and found our crew friendly and informative.
We are sorry for the delayed departure and also appreciate your feedback regarding the group size. Your comments are important to us and help us improve the overall experience for our guests.
We are glad that, despite these points, you were able to see everything included in the itinerary and had a good experience overall.
