      Wonderful day.
      Mathild was very helpful and did an excellent job of pointing out things of interest. The water was beautiful and the caves were very interesting. We recommend this trip for those interested.

      A Scenic Boat Tour of Grottos with Tomas and Luis - A Must-Do Experience
      My family and I had an incredible experience on the grottoes boat tour with guides Tomas and Luis. The tour started right on time, and the guys promptly provided us with life jackets – three for us adults and a child’s life vest for our 6-year-old. The journey through the stunning grottos was breathtaking, and we were given ample time to take photos inside the caves. The guides were accommodating, translating key parts of the tour into English upon request. On the way back, they even stopped the boat so we could have a swim, which was a fantastic surprise. They also recommended some nearby wild beaches to explore, which was a nice touch. The tour was intimate, with only 11 people on board, making it a warm and personal experience. Our 6-year-old did found the long boat ride a bit tedious, so I’d suggest parents bring some treats like lollipops to keep younger children entertained. However, when we entered the grottos, even our little one was captivated. Our 15-year-old son, initially sceptical about the tour, ended up loving it. For future travellers, I recommend wearing swimwear and bringing towels, as some passengers were already prepared in their bathing suits. We hadn’t planned to swim until after the tour, so my husband and son weren’t in swim trunks. Our teenager ended up swimming anyway, he just wore his boxers. We only had one towel, so more would have been useful. I also brought jumpers for everyone since I’d read it could get chilly. However, with the life jackets on and a temperature of 26°C, we were perfectly comfortable. Most people were fine in just t-shirts. But definitely apply sunscreen beforehand and bring sun hats with chin straps or snug caps, as it gets quite windy. We were glad we had our caps securely on.

      View from the ocean!
      It was amazing, I had no idea of the colour of the water around Sesimbra, very pretty landscapes. Have great photos and still had a swim!

      Fabulous experience with Batnova! Highly recommend this company!!
      We rented a tandem kayak from Batnova! We were impressed with how friendly and professional their staff were and they took time to answer all questions and give suggestions. We actually enjoyed it so much, we rented twice with them. On our first trip we were able to see dolphins right in the harbour and then carried on to Ribeiro Do Cavalo Beach, which was beautiful. Today, we got adventuresome and went further down the coast to Inferno Beach (Praia da Mijona) and back to Cavalo, taking time to explore the caves, too. The rental equipment was of good quality and we felt $40 Euros for a 10-5pm rental for 2 people was great! We 100% recommend this company and would even go a 3rd time but our time in the beautiful Sesimbra is coming to an end!

      Awesome ride
      Perfect! The staff is amazing! Fábio, Beatriz eland Marta did an amazing job making sure we would get to the beach safely, on time and without missing the return boat. They were flexible enough to accommodate everyone's needs and made sure we were safe and enjoying the ride. Top!

      A great experience
      This was a great adventure for our family and my parents. Seeing the caves was magical! The guides were skilled and even surprised us with a dolphin viewing at the end. They went above and beyond and helped us get an underwater video of the dolphins! My son was beyond thrilled to capture that! Highly recommend!

      Lovely staff and flexible schedule!!
      We had no booking to our trip prior to arriving Sesimbra marina, and got out boat taxi to Praia do Ribeiro do Cavalo to take us there only hour after booking the trip at their store. The staff was really nice and we got to schedule our own time when we wanted to come back from the beach, 10/10!

      Tour to the caves with a bonus
      Luís and Fábio were amazing in leading the tour. Not only we saw the beautiful caves but we got to see a group of dolphins too. They were quick to get the info on thier location and proceed to look for them. It was a great bonus. Well done to all the crew and organization.
