1.5-hour RIB speed boat from Portimão to Benagil Caves, dolphin spotting and a sunset return option, from $23.
“We arrived and it was raining and the sea was very choppy with a lot of waves. I said to my partner it will def be cancelled. The staff said it was too dangerous to go in the caves and we can get a refund or reschedule. Everyone who turned up left. However we were crazy and thought it would be an experience. The staff were amazing and still agreed to go out. Wow it was mental my head was spinning by the end of it and we got to see the coastline. The female guide was also funny and I don’t know how she was loving the jumping of…”

Tagus sunset cruise in Lisbon with a welcome drink, upbeat music and dancing, plus big landmark views from the water.
“This boat tour was a fantastic experience! Despite the December chill, the crew was incredibly thoughtful, providing blankets to keep us warm on deck. The drink selection was impressive, catering to diverse preferences with beers, cocktails, spirits, and soft drinks available. The music selection was also top-notch, with a staff member expertly curating a lively mix of old and new hits that kept the energy high throughout the chilly evening. I highly recommend this boat ride!”

Glide along Porto’s Douro River on a short bridges cruise with a 16-language audio app, plus optional wine cellar tour or sunset timing.
“Overall it is great, but once you missed the monuments at certain locations, there is no possibility to retrieve the audio guide. That was the biggest pity. But generally speaking, the trip is good, very nice one to know the brief background of Porto city.”
2-hour Lisbon sunset sailing cruise from Belém with Portuguese wine and skipper commentary, small group up to 12, great views of landmarks.
“One of the highlights of our Lisbon trip, a must do! We lucked out with great weather even tho it was winter. The service was impeccable, the boat is so big and luxurious. The wine kept flowing, we had the best time! Highly recommend this company.”
2-hour Tagus sunset cruise with included wine or beer, Portuguese snacks, and Lisbon photos of Alfama, Belém Tower, and 25 de Abril Bridge.
“The sunset cruise was very good & included snacks & a soft drink or a glass of wine. The only thing I would improve on is that the snacks were not served with the drink & came about 45 minutes or more after we sailed. Otherwise it was a good tour & l got some great photographs of the sunset.”

A 2-hour Porto sunset sail on the Douro with port wine, panoramic city views, and photo stops for Dom Luis I Bridge.
“We had such a lovely time on the water! Charming guide and captain who did everything to make this a great experience. I recommend strongly as a far better alternative to the 50mins trips under the bridges.”
Sunset sailing from Funchal to spot whales and dolphins, snorkel at Cabo Girão, and sip Madeira drinks as the sun sets.
“Bruno and Roberto did everything for a good experience. And we saw pilot whales, it was amazing.”
A 3-hour Funchal sunset catamaran with dolphins or whales, a free second trip option, and a warm-water swim under Cabo Girão.
“Tour guides were very insightful and professional and saw lots of dolphins! Overall definitely recommend going! As well as that loads of photo opportunities etc! 30 minutes before hand is a bit of a stretch but if you want to get the best seats then it is definitely worth it! When going against the waves it can make you feel a bit queasy so If you suffer from travel sickness or sea sickness I’d take some tablets before hand! Going with the waves is perfectly fine though!”
