Clients reviews about Alvor Boat Trips

We took a boat trip to Silves with alvor boat trips as a family and we all agreed it was a very well spent day , we were picked up at our hotel , brought to the marina in praia de rocha and our trip began it was more than we thought it would be , VERY RELAXED day out we were wined and dined on our way up to silves , with a lovely 3 course lunch , the staff were so nice and polite , even though there were other's on the boat we felt as if we were the only one's on the boat we had plenty of privacy and the whole family enjoyed our day out , it is not the cheapest trip around but saying that we were gone from 12-30 until 6 pm and fed and watered so when you take all that into account it was worth every penny ...highly recommended for familys or couples alike ~ Derek M

Balade simplement au top en bateau La concurrence n'a aucune chance face à eux Superbe vue Découverte incroyable des grottes en bord de mer Pour une première expérience maritime ça été exceptionnel Ils sont venues nous chercher à la plage qui s trouver à l'opposé du point de départ À refaire franchement Moniteur au TOP ! Gonçalo (moniteur) para o ano estamos ca !! ~ Bruno B

Hele goeie boottour in de Algarve in Portugal aan het prachtige kust van Portugal. Niet normaal mooie beelden kunnen maken van de rotsen en grotten. Ook het personeel aan boot waren heel leuk en grappig die man had leuke humor. Als je wil komt hij je ophalen bij het hotel, echt super. Ik had dat niet gedaan ik had zelf een auto gehuurd hier in Portugal. ~ maury s

Fantastic time on our Alvor boat trips tour. Peggy who we booked with was so friendly and helpful, collected from our hotel on time and the boat took us out for about 2 hours overall. The waves were a bit choppy which couldn't be helped but i felt that the cave stops were a bit rushed. Our 2 tour guides were lovely too, one portuguese speaking and one english speaking. Other passengers were able to get a quick swim in at the end before getting us back to the harbour at Portimao. If there is one small criticism i have, it is that i didn't feel completely safe or comfortable on the transfer drives, this is because the driver drove fast and used his phone quite a lot while taking us to and from Portimao. Overall a great experience but maybe have a word with your driver. ~ YoYo

Si estás pensando hacer una excursión no dudes hacerla con ellos. Ha sido de las mejores experiencias de estas vacaciones. Hicimos a las 10h el crucero por la costa de Portimao hasta Alvor con nuestro pequeño de 7 años y ha sido un gran acierto. Gracias Luis y Jackson por ser tan amables y hacer de la experiencia un maravilloso recuerdo. No lo dudes! Alvor Boat Trips 👌🏽 ~ Vanesa M

Nous avons fait une excursion hier avec Carlo et Rodrigo, sincèrement 30€ pour navette de l'hôtel à Portimao aller et retour, excursion de 2h pour voir les grottes avec 2 personne super sympa, drôle, qui traduit en français et qui nous demande si on veut etre pris en photo c'est super ! Gros coup de cœur pour cette activité ! Surtout avec cette équipe incroyable et pleine d'énergie. Je recommande à 100% ~ Maëlys

Großartiger Ausflug in die Grotten der Algarve! Professionelle Durchführung und das zu einem super Preis. Wir wurden außerdem kostenlos von und zu unserer Pension in Alvor gebracht. Durch das kleine wendige Boot (Max 12 Personen) konnte man bis tief in die Grotten reinfahren. Wir hatten sogar so viel Glück, dass wir zwischendurch Delfine gesehen haben. Michelle, you were an absolute top class guide! Thank you ~ Paul

Fabulous speed boat trip. We spent a lovely two hours from Portimao east to Benagil Caves. The outward journey was taken at a leisurely pace as the small boat (only 12 passengers max) was expertly slotted into the tiniest of gaps by the Michel. There are some beautiful caves and Michel added to this by adding bits of local knowledge and a touch of history (in both Portuguese and English). That took about 1.5 hours. The return journey was more of an adrenalin rush as the speedboat returned at speed... Loved it. What was especially nice was that we were staying in Alvor, but the company were happy to transport us to Portimao for no extra money. Great friendly staff, great scenery and well worth the money we paid. Highly Recommended ~ Kevin R

Booked this for the weekend and got a text.to ask us to reschedule for Monday. We we're disappointed, but we needn't have been. The weekend was grey and windy, and Monday dawned without a breath of wind or a cloud in the sky. We had plenty of room on the boat with spectacular views of the coastline, even though we didn't have a lot of time to see it. The first couple of fish to oblige were the beautiful but venemous Scorpion fish, followed closely by some nice sea bream. A quick change of location and it was all hands on rods as some really big mackerel came aboard, quickly followed by some very good sized triggerfish. All on board caught the fish, caught the sun, and had a great morning! Definitely a highlight of our stay. ~ Frags G

Die Delfin-Tour: ein tolles Erlebnis. Zwei Defingruppen mit zahlreichen Tieren gesehen, darunter einige Jungtiere. Das war mehr als wir erwartet hatten. Dazu ein heisser Ritt über die Wellen. Zwei Stunden Action und Naturerlebnis. Man merkt, dass hier alle mit Freude bei der Sache sind. Sehr zu empfehlen ~ Andreas C

This was my first time in Portugal for years , it was my mums 70 th birthday and she loves this boat trip to Silves so we had booked this for the whole family and I was not disappointed . We had a lovely scenic , chilled trip with a stop off at the beautiful town Silves which was a lovely touch . On the way back we had a beautiful lunch with cold beer and wine and of course some piri piri sauce , which was homemade by one of the crew ( had to buy some which he gladly gave me ) I would like to say a big thank you to the crew and especially Carlos for a wonderful day with my family which is a rare occurrence these days . ~ Daniel S

Recently did went on two tours with Alvor Boat Trips. Staff are super friendly and will do everything they can to get you the tour you want. We chartered a boat for caves and sunset, it was one of the highlights of our trip. Our captain and First mate were super friendly & helpful ensuring we had a memorable trip. Also did the dolphin tour which we thought may end without dolphins but the captain was in contact with other boats in the area to find our where they were and eventually we saw them! I think the price was very reasonable for the service we received. Boats depart from Portimão but they will transport you to there from Alvor ~ Tom C

The team built up by Luis at Alvor Boat Trips are a great bunch, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and professional... We were initially pointed in their direction by our hotel, and it was just easy and fun from there. We booked at the hut in Alvor, intending on a single trip but ended up not being able to make a choice between the river cruise to Silves or the coastal caves, so we did both and both were well worth the money. . the caves on the rib was pure childish fun, and the river cruise a relaxing half day with Luis and Carlos (and the home made Sangria!).... Worth every cent, thanks for the fun!! ~ Jason L

Bereits zum zweiten Mal haben wir eine Angel-Tour hier gebucht. Es ist jedes Mal ein Erlebnis. Inklusive vorbei schwimmender Delfine. An einem Vormittag konnten wir anderthalb Eimer Fisch fangen. Die Guides sind freundlich und helfen bei allem. Empfehlenswert auch und gerade für Familien. ~ Sven

Passeio pela costa ao por do sol simplesmente sensacional 😊 o barco dispõe de uma zona fechada no qual nos dias de vento faz sem dúvida a diferença. Espumante e canapés muito bons e com possibilidade de repetir. Muito obrigada ao Rodrigo e ao Jack por toda a atenção que tiveram connosco. Foram top 😄 ~ Ines V

super coole Speedboottour von Portimao zur Benagil Höhle mit Carlo und Rodrigo! Wir haben uns am Weg alles angesehen und erklärt bekommen. Dazwischen lässiges Speedbootfahren mit fast 50km/h. Das war eine super Zeit am Wasser! Christian und Michaela ~ Christian U

Alvor fishing trip (2hr). If you're a beginner or want to let you kids try fishing experience then I would highly recommend this. We were in a small group split into 2 groups of 4 with one guide for each group. They prepped and put the bait on our hooks, we put them into the water and reeled in the fish. At first I was annoyed with a lack of instruction on how to fish, but now I'm grateful because it made me think about it and be more invested in learning how and when to reel in. Won't gush about it anymore but in short a Great holiday experience. I used fishingbooker.com. ~ Chris M

Waw zo content dat we met Carlos en team geboekt hebben. We hadden een klein bootje en niet zo'n grote, waardoor het heel persoonlijk aanvoelde. Ze gaven fijn uitleg, zelfs in het Frans en namen echt hun tijd om de grotten goed te kunnen zien. De kapitein nam van elk gezin ook foto's. En wij hadden geluk dat we ook dolfijnen gezien hebben onderweg! Pickup service aan het hotel inbegrepen! Dit ging super vlot, stipt! Heel fijn, dank u wel Alvor boat trips! 🙏 ~ Nele O

We went on 2 boat trips with Alvor boat trips. They were both absolutely amazing. Very friendly personal local people with lots of knowledge. The first was to Silves beautiful scenery up the river. Very interesting guide. Very friendly family run intermate trips. Thoroughly recommend this. Silves is beautiful with lots of history. The second trip was a coastal evening cruise to The Benagil caves. Stunning exhilarating trip. Incredible caves well worth a trip. Thank you to Alvor boat trips for making our holiday to The algarve memorable. Will definitely be back to see you again. ~ Lianne M

Expérience extra. Les grottes de portimao à benagil avec un capitaine au top qui nous fait découvrir avec passion et maîtrise parfaite de son bateau toutes les grottes y compris celles qui paraissent inatteignables. Un super moment. A faire absolument ! En plus toute l'équipe est adorable ~ Domitille B

From start to finish, Alvor Boat Trips were absolutely amazing! We did the costal cruise for 3 hours, swimming in the incredible Algarve Sea, with Carlos and Fernando as the best hosts. We loved it so much, we left the boat, and booked the Champagne Sunset Cruise right away!!! What a sunset it was, again with the best hosts in the Algarve in Fernando and Carlos, we hugged the coastline to see the most incredible sunset ever! An amazing two boat trips, we cannot wait to go again next year!! Thanks to all the amazing staff for two unforgettable experiences!!! ~ David M

Hicimos la excursión con ellos desde Portimao hasta las Cuevas de Benagil. Nos recogieron del hotel y desde ese momento el servicio fue de 10. Tanto el chico que nos recogió del Hotel Pestana en Alvor hasta el equipo de la embarcación fue todo estupendo. Nos aconsejaron sobre que visitar en en Pueblo, Carlos y Rodrigo nos hablaron y nos explicaron cada punto importante que íbamos viendo; mejor imposible. Los súper recomiendo si estás pensando en visitar Las Cuevas... son maravillosos. ~ Lamiae E

We did a trip to Bengali and the caves along the route. Can categorically say it was one of the best trips we have ever done. Captain Claudio was amazing. Firstly such a lovely guy but very knowledgeable and a great boat driver. He managed to get us into some caves larger boats would not have been able to (and lesser boat drivers incapable). There was a bit of swell with an approaching storm but he was very safety first. We were onboard with our 3 year old son, and can recommend for a young family to older clients. Well worth it! ~ Tom L
