We left from our hotel at 8:45 and got picked up by coach to take us to Porto Mao, where we then got on this large catamaran-style boat. Our trip was run by Sensational Sea Cruises and the staff were absolutely fantastic! The woman that looked after us was such a good laugh and made sure to make everyone feel welcome and ease on the boat. I got a coffee and Chris got some juice from the bar onboard the boat and then we set off out to sea!
The Algarve has such a gorgeous coastline with steep creamy-coloured rocks, caves and lots of pretty little grottoes. We sailed for about half an hour out on the catamaran but sadly didn't see any dolphins as I had hoped! We were then put into small groups of six and transferred onto little speedboats which we went through the caves on! The grottoes and rock formations were absolutely breathtaking and so beautiful, with the little sandy coves and the clear turquoise water.
Unfortunately, the photos below are just from We Heart It, as my boyfriend still has all of the pictures on his digital camera!
After going out on the speedboats, we were then put back on the catamaran and sailed along to a beautiful sandy beach. Unfortunately, Chris got a little bit seasick which took the edge off the boat for him a little bit! We had lunch on the beach, where they did a lovely BBQ and we had some time to relax, sunbathe and do some swimming in the sea!
We had such an unforgettable day and if you are visiting the Algarve in Portugal, I'd definately recommend going out on one of these boat trips. You wouldn't regret it!
With love,
Karen
