I don't think I have ever been treated better by a business. Actually, to tell you the truth, I think even my friends are not quite as nice half of the time.
The communication with the owners happens in real time, they respond within minutes with very detailed information - pre-set Google maps, phone numbers, location, you name it.
Ralf and Ilenia delivered the scooter to our apartment, gave me an opportunity to try it out and when I did not prove to be quite as a capable rider as I thought, offered to take us on a tour in their convertible for no extra charge. (I almost rode the scooter into a store and they still let me ride it around the block for a proper test :))
Ilenia arrived on time, did an amazing job navigating narrow and hilly streets all the while chatting effortlessly about a variety of subjects (what an interesting life she's had!). She brought snorkeling equipment, swam to the caves with us, offered to take pictures, laughed and made our tour absolutely wonderful. There was no rush, it felt like we were out with a friend for an afternoon of swimming.
I would highly recommend working with this company - capable, patient, genuinely enjoying their job, providing the highest level of customer service.

We are a small company offering Kayak Tours and on the Golden Coast of the Algarve (between Ferragudo and Carvoeiro)visiting some of the most spectacular caves and coastline of the region.

We had a really good day with freedom kayaks. We booked on for the BBQ kayak tour. It was great paddling in and out of caves and tunnels and we saw some really beautiful coastline.
The BBQ was on a secluded beach and we had lots of time to swim, snorkeling and relax here. The food was freshly cooked (chicken, sausage, ribs, shrimp, tuna, salad, fruits and cookies plus soft drinks) and there was plenty for everyone to eat.
The tour was meant to be 4 hours but as there was no afternoon tour we were out for 6.5 hours allowing us lounger at the beach.
The kayaks are stable sit on tops and a safety boat is never far away from anyone who needs to stop paddling. The guide was good and we felt safe throughout the trip. The safety boat tows the kayaks the first couple of km and after paddling around 7km of coastline the boat can also tow you back to port of you can't manage the return paddle.
Get to Ferragudo from Praia da Rocha using the ferry taxi which costs €6 return and leaves from the marina.
This trip is well worth the €40 (€25 without BBQ)
4. Percurso dos Sete Vales Suspensos

This is a fairly easy trail that links two Beaches, with a lot of dramatic views over the cliffs and into the sunken caves. There's one or two rocky sections but anyone should be able to do it. Doing the journey there and back will take about six hours, though if you're pressed for time/energy, just go one way.
I'd recommend starting at Praia de Marinha and hiking westwards toward Praia Vale de Centianes. Marinha has a car park, but no other facilities (including toilets!) whereas Vale de Centianes has a cafe and is easy to get a taxi from. Plus if you start in the morning, the sun will be behind you until midday.

Carvoeiro built this boardwalk about 2 1/2 years ago and it is excellent and good fun, especially with nice weather (which is 310 days in a year), and blue skies. At the end you can have lunch at the ALGA SECO Restaurant. Good quality and all very fresh, especially the fish, which the fisherman from Carvoeiro delivers every morning! Service is friendly and quick! The view over the blue pools directly to the ocean is spectacular!! Go there on a nice sunny day, you won´t be disappointed. We live in Carvoeiro for 6 months every year and we always have lunch there when we feel like it!
7. Quinta Do Frances Winery

Winery with guided tour, wine tasting and wine shop in the Algarve. Owned by a French man which produces high quality red, rosé and white wines. Open all year.
Reviewed By PeterHarvey - Norwich UK
French owners from scratch - hence the name - in fact the owner is a still-practising French doctor, and unsurprisingly french varietals are mainly grown here. Lovely rural setting in the Odelouca valley not far from Silves, all wine from estate-grown fruit. Very fancy and well-appointed winery and visitors' / sales room, informative and relaxed tour with Tania (thanks). Wines are pretty decent and relatively good value, though not inexpensive. Their flagship eponymous red is delicious; a blend of cab,syrah, tempranillo and trincadeira, for around £15. We made an appointment but I think that casual callers to taste and buy are welcome, though they close for a couple of hours mid day.

We just love this beach!
So much to offer.
Can walk as far as Armacao de Pera where there are nice beach bars and restaurants too.
Beach bars open in the season all the way along the beach
Beautiful sand and safe bathing
Great to watch the surfers when the waves are big
Lovely to sit in a sheltered spot to watch the world go by.
Behind the beach is a board walk amongst the sand dunes.
Further along is a nudist beach which may not appeal to some!

A visit to Zoomarine today was such a pleasure with pleasant staff and many interesting shows and experiences. In particular, the dolphin show was superb and the sea lion show very entertaining, we haven't seen better even at the well renowned SeaWorld.
The member of staff at The Americas bird habitat was very informative and made that visit really interesting. The cafeteria was clean and the food tasty. We would highly recommend Zoomarine for all the family and will definitely return on our next visit to the Algarve.

From the very first email received from Angela to confirm our booking, after answering all of my dumb questions about what trousers to wear, how to get there etc, it was terrific service. This was a family day out to break up the sunbathing and it was simply the most fun we've had together in years. We had arranged a transfer from our apartment 40 minutes away which arrived on time in a great minibus. On arrival we had our briefing and filled in our paperwork before taking three quads carrying 6 of us (loads of room) up into the hills for nearly 3.5hours. We stopped for drinks after an hour then again another hour later to swim in an amazing lake in the hills for 30 minutes before continuing our journey. Our guide was superb and we were able to sample a part of Portugal we didn't know at all. The trails we were on, at times, were pretty steep but this added to the fun. Just a note on what to wear ...it is seriously dusty so don't go with your best gear on. You will be given a hair net and face mask; wear both!! You will thank me later! That just made the day even more involving so do yourself a HUGE favour and book this up. Great people with a great business using first rate equipment. Smiles all round at our end and we will definitely use again.
