Atlantis Tours is literally amazing! I strongly recommend using them. Our guide ‘Nuno’ was very knowledgeable, very funny, friendly, thorough and made sure we had the best experience ever! This was the first time I have been on a Benagil cave tour but this has by far been the best one! I wanted to surprise my parents as they don’t normally do these adventures and I was ecstatic to see how happy they were. I will certainly use them again and I recommend anyone to use this company!

Roger guided us and made it a trip to remember with his clear explanations of the various sights. The highlight was of course the Benagil Cave at the last stop of the tour. Beautiful and magnificent. This was a boat tour to remember!

The trip lasted two hours and it was very pleasant. We had a tour guide, Luis (who spoked both English and Spanish) that presented all major attractions along the way. We’ve seen an old fossil of a star-shaped mollusc and the boat driver showed us some nice caves and of course the ‘Panama Canal’. The coastal relief was extraordinary and one could only see its greatness only from sea level. When we got to Benagil Cave Luis was nice enough to take us some photos. On top of all this I didn’t get any sea sickness so kudos to the boat driver. The trip was awesome, the crew was really nice, punctual and professional and we’re glad that the weather also helped us make some good memories. I really recommend Atlantis Tours!

We were so happy we decided to take this trip. The captain and his 2 tour guides were fun, knowledgeable, and safe. The caves were amazing. We got so many great pictures and memories. I’m glad we decided on this boat instead of the larger speed boats. Due to our size we could fit in the caves better. We had a group of 4 and all loved this!
