3.Boat trip to the grottos at Ponta da Piedade, Lagos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,197 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $21.77Top rated

Small-boat grotto tour from Lagos at Ponta da Piedade, with close cave access, turquoise cliffs, and funny English commentary for about 75 minutes.

“This tour is a must see. The guide was genuinely funny-no forced jokes, just good timing. A worthwhile way to see Ponta da Piedade. I like they have a tip box in the front too, and no pressure or passing a jar round to tip. Of course their service was well worth it and they allow their customers to decide. As it is a smaller boat it will also go in between most of the rocks. So if you want to get up close book a small boat like this one.”

“This is a must do activity. The views of the coastline and the caves we visited were amazing! You have to see it from the water to appreciate the beauty of the cliffs. Our captain Keith and Lady Di made the trip so much more with their warmth and humour, and they were constantly checking to see if we were ok. The sea was unusually choppy that afternoon and they were constantly checking to see if we were ok and wanted to continue. My husband and I were very happy we did this tour!!”

Once on our way we hit the ocean and as indicated a Speed boat trip the captain hit the throttle and the fun began. This trip was fantastic and did not disappoint. If you like the thrill of a fast boat , you got it. We finally arrive at the caves with quite a few different locations. All I can say is do this tour!!.
