Kayak Tours in Lagos: An unforgettable experience
With the rising external temperature and the warm Mediterranean currents bathing our waters, an immense curiosity arises to explore the caves in a different way. Therefore, we highly recommend our exciting Kayak Tours in Lagos.
In partnership with the renowned Ponta da Piedade Tours, we want to share with you the itinerary of this unique journey. An experience that has conquered more and more people.
How does a Kayak Tours in Lagos work?
When you arrive at Marina de Lagos Quay, you’ll find our experienced sailor Bruno on our boat. Bruno is a passionate lover of the Algarve waters who has dedicated his life to exploring this stunning region for years.
In addition to our sailor, an expert guide will be present during the kayak tour. He will accompany you and share information about the various caves in Ponta da Piedade. Although Ponta da Piedade Tours offers other trips where the destination is the same – Ponta da Piedade. Well, the magic of exploring it by kayak is completely different, allowing you to explore smaller caves that are inaccessible by motorboat.
But do we set off by kayak from Lagos Marina?
The answer is: no!
At the meeting point, you will board a comfortable support boat, equipped with two powerful engines, which will take you to the rocky areas where your kayak adventure will begin. On board this support boat, prepared to accommodate up to 12 people, you can dive into the crystal clear waters of the Algarve, enjoy the sun and refresh yourself with a drink from our bar.
These trips are especially popular with those looking for a more exciting experience, rather than traditional boat trips.
“We visited the caves of Ponta da Piedade with Paula. We loved it! We will definitely be back in November!”

And who is Paula?
Paula sometimes accompanies Bruno to Ponta da Piedade, but most of the time you will find her at the company ticket office. However, if you have any doubts, you can talk to Paula through our whastapp. But if you prefer to buy and book your Kayak Tour online, you can also do it by clicking here.

Welcome to the Algarve
It is June, the first official month of summer. This is the time when we receive a large number of tourists in our region. Welcome to the Algarve!
The Algarve, especially the main cities, is a destination much sought after by national and foreign tourists to enjoy relaxing holidays. For year after year, with the exception of the periods of higher incidence of COVID cases, the Algarve has set records. Records in the hotel sector, in gastronomy and in tourism.
Despite the challenges faced during the pandemic, we remember with satisfaction how the Portuguese excelled in controlling the transmission of the virus. It was their commitment and effort that allowed us to attract British, Belgian, Spanish and German tourists again in 2022. The Portuguese, even though their holiday styles differed from those of foreigners, also enjoyed the region as never before. Both local and international visitors felt safe in Portugal.
Although the Algarve is known for nautical tourism and the natural beauty along the coast, it has become an increasingly diversified tourist destination. The Algarve, being suitable for all tastes and ages. It is not only about beach, sun, bars and discos. The interior of our region, with its mountain ranges and vineyards, gains prominence in the tourist itineraries of those who visit us. Tourism in the Serra de Monchique and guided tours of the historic town of Silves have been gaining more and more followers.
How are your holidays in the Algarve?
Do you usually travel with family or friends? Although we don’t have experiences within the Algarve, we would like to share with you an aquatic activity that is gaining more and more fans, especially if you come on holiday with children: dolphin watching!
Who provides you with this magnificent experience?
Sealife, one of the most reputable and established companies in the business with over 15 years of experience in the area. It is the only company, in Lagos, with Marine Biologists on board all boats and trips.
Embark on this exciting dolphin watching journey and be enchanted by these magnificent animals. Enjoy your holidays in the Algarve to the fullest!
Preparing for Summer
For many the Algarve is a seasonal destination and the truth is that summer is the time of year when every day, whether by land, air or water, thousands and thousands of tourists settle in the south of the country to enjoy our beauty.
For us, even if not always with the best conditions to work near the caves, winter and spring is the time to best prepare for the coming summer.
Behind our trips in our beautiful boats, there are days and days of hard work unseen by our clients and friends.
In the office we prepare the dynamics, study the team reinforcements for the new year, analyze the comments and testimonials from our clients about the services we provided last summer. This is the only way we can plan the next season in order to provide the best experience to those who come to visit Lagos. It is also at this time that we decide and plan new tours and new experiences for the summer.
In our boatyard we prepare the boats for the new summer season, that is, we restore our boats at all levels. From the wood of the hull, the electrical parts that power the boat either for the engine or for the refrigerator to keep the drinks cool, or even for the boat signs. Everything to guarantee all the safety requirements, so that you can have a full experience in the summer.
In the photo below you can meet one of the people responsible for the beauty of the “Bom Dia”, Helio. Besides the work he does aboard our boats, he was the author of the most recent painting of the bow of our beloved “Bom Dia” boat. Our colors, our symbols and of course, the continuation of a work always handmade as the origin of our boats.

Our centenary boat “Falcão Veloz”, is back in action, after months of restoration by our team, we work hard to maintain the highest standards of safety and comfort, being our commitment at “Bom Dia Boat Trips” in Lagos.
On this inaugural trip, we were gifted by the radiant sunshine and crystal clear skies of the Algarve, on a 2 hour trip through the rock formations and caves along our coastline, starting in the Bay of Lagos, the first big bay for all those sailing towards the Mediterranean and the last before the Atlantic Ocean.
Our clients were able to enjoy the trip, with mandatory stops to photograph and learn the history of each of the caves, on board, in the comfort of the “Falcão Veloz” our clients can go in and out for a swim in the warm coastal waters, and with our diving equipment it is possible to observe the bottom of the sea.
The trip included a visit to the caves of “Ponta da Piedade” in a smaller boat, making it possible to get a closer look at the incredible rock formations along the coast. All in all, an incredible tour!
We returned to Lagos, aboard the “Falcão Veloz” with sails extended, accompanied by some dolphins, sailing with the wind, while our clients and friends enjoyed wonderful cocktails, with the backdrop of a Hollywood sunset.
The boat is nothing without its crew
Our essence is people, and at the “Falcão Veloz” its experienced team makes the difference,
The “Falcão Veloz” team has three professionals in their art, to provide unique experiences and moments,
The Captain, Master Francisco, better known as “Chico”, is an old fisherman of our coast, wise in the art of sailing and with long and hilarious stories of his life to tell. This “Indian from Meia-Praia”, an affectionate traditional name given to the residents of the Meia-Praia area, has been part of the Bom Dia Boat Trips team for over 15 years.
To assist the master “Chico” in the hoisting of sails, manoeuvres and moments of the trip, we have Maurício and Luís, two friends from different countries, united by the passion for the sea.
The Skipper “Instagrammer” Maurício, dedicated to creating a welcoming atmosphere, likes to capture these unique moments, many of the photographic records we have are thanks to him, always with a professional touch “Maurício style”. In fact, you can follow our tours on Instagram. In his spare time he is a dedicated boy in the world of the gym, or as he says “in the gym”, he has lived in Portugal for five years and has been part of our team for two.
The “Indian” Guide, Luís, born in Lagos, classified as “Middle Beach Indian”, a rare species of this fishermen region, with a captivating passion, as the captain knows endless stories of our coast and its caves, he is from the Algarve and the passion for the sea runs in his veins, four years ago we welcomed this Indian in Bom Dia Boat Trips.
To finish we leave you with the feedback of the first 2023 trip.
“Best boat trip ever. Lovely views, food and staff! Even the jumping in the water. I highly recommend it!”
