We've been on this boat trip for 2h(they say it's 3h but it isn't in fact) and we've seen the whole coast of Algarve with its caves. We've been able to see the dolphins which was the most beautiful thing of that trip!!!! The guide tour didn't know English very well but it was okay. We've seen all the beaches and caves from Vilamora to Benagil. It was beautiful!????

Did this tour with my 12 year old son and we had so much fun. Andre, our guide was the friendliest guy ever. He not only showed us how to ride the Segway but also told us nice stories about the places we passed by. At the end he even bought us some of the Pastel de Nata pies we wanted to try. The two of us absolutely loved this tour.

Worst service from this company I left a review on google got a response in Portuguese????Saying I was drunk or drugged. Not sure if you have an education system in Portugal but what you was referring to is my Hayfever which makes my eyes watery, sore, itchy and I start to sneeze often. Google it lol. Never hire a bike from this company waste of money they only want your cash because they know people from the UK will spend they don’t care what bike they give you I would rather walk than hiring a bike from this company. Tyres got low over night, handle bar was shaking and only found out when I was asked to walk to Tivoli to pay for the bike inside the hotel and then escorted to the bike with the hotel staff only to find the handle bar was shaking and the tyres were slightly low but over night it worsened, they had closed by the time I picked the bike saying they would be closed for 3 days yet the following day when I visited the store it was open and then the staff also called her crazy friend with mental health issues her name was Jacqueline black Portuguese woman who intervened and threatened me also smashed a bottle and tried to stab me I was very close in hitting a chair over her head she then came back to threaten me even more was constantly on the phone saying I’m still here I didn’t move a muscle and waited for her “men” to come and get me lol...So I would stay away from this company Albufeira and Vilamoura Marina next to the Irish pub has better bikes go and see their bikes they are much better than these granny grubby bikes.

We have been to Vilamoura many times. This time we decided to head out on a charter with Lux Charters and opted for the 2 hour sunset cruise. The hospitality on board was fantastic, Lovely food and drink. The crew went out of their way to make us feel welcome and point out all of the sights. We explored close to the coastline and did everything we wanted to do. We could have gone swimming too. We will definitely do this again. I would highly recommend Lux Charters. Great people and fantastic yacht.

We were picked up right on time from our hotel and delivered to the home base where we received a safety training and intro to the vehicles. My wife and I felt completely comfortable with the equipment and training and had a great time along the route. There were parts that got pretty bumpy along the way which was great fun- and the guide was always taking photos and videos of us which was awesome to have some memories of the trip. Can't think of a way to make it better, extremely happy with the trip.

Firstly thank you to Eduardo & Eric who were on our boat and looked after us throughout. Lovely people & very informative about the areas we passed and about the boat, they really did make the day so much better We enjoyed a champagne sunset cruise leaving the marina at 5pm returning at 8pm, it was the perfect balance of enjoying the sunshine whilst still warm but allowing us to see the sunset as we returned back to the marina. Such a lovely experience. Having been on similar trips in various places we were sceptical on whether ‘unlimited’ drinks were truly that, so did actually take some of our own on board, however there was no need, we were served drinks from the first minute to the last with Eric continuously keeping an eye and being out topping us up before we even needed to ask - brilliant! We wished we had more time to be honest as it flew but we are returning to Vilamoura next year with a group of 20 so will be enjoying it again in no time.
