Enjoy the sea breeze, the gorgeous view to the cliffs and a cave exploration in this two-hour boat tour in Lagos, Portugal.
On this activity you will have the opportunity to explore different landscapes: city, ocean and beach, rock formations, and even under the sea. This boat trip along the coast of Lagos is open to all ages, and not only gives you a view of the coastline, but you will have the enlightening commentary of the captain, who will accompany you on your exploration of the Algarve coastline and the caves and rock formations of Ponta da Piedade.
Even though this is an activity that is open to all, if you wish to snorkel, you must be able to swim. Not to mention that it is important to bring protective gear such as a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, to avoid any mishaps. And don't forget to bring your swimsuit to make the most of the activity.
With everything you need at hand, you will board a traditional Portuguese boat, a ‘Mananita’, where you can enjoy breathtaking views with the convenience of an on-board toilet and a bar at your disposal.
On the way from Lagos to Praia da Porto de Mos and back, the boat will make a stop at Ponta de Piedade, where you will have the opportunity to transfer to a smaller boat, which will easily navigate the confined spaces of the caves and rock formations, and, depending on your thirst for adventure, you can go down into the sea, swim and snorkel to discover the marine world on this portion of the Atlantic Ocean.
