    Der Ausflug ging pünktlich los und hat wie angegeben 1,5 Stunden gedauert. Unser Guide war humorvoll und vor allem ein versierter Bootsfahrer, was in den engen Höhlen und bei viel Verkehr wichtig ist. Bei der Bestätigung des Ausflugs bzw. beim Voucher ist ein falscher Treffpunkt auf der Karte markiert. Zudem fehlt die Info, dass der Ausflug von einem beauftragten Anbieter (Carvoeiro Boat Trip oder so ähnlich) durchgeführt wird und dort das Online-Ticket am Schalter umgetauscht wird.

    Excursie is meer dan zijn geld waard, fantastisch om te doen. Wel even een puntje van aandacht: Als je richting het strand loop zie je aan de linkerkant 2 ticket-shops staan (naast restaurant O Barco) daar meld je je aan, niet zoals in de aanmelding van TUI staat links van de douches dat is verwarrend. De veiligheidsinstructies worden vooraf duidelijk uitgelegd voordat je aan boord gaat. De gids, die goede uitleg gaf en de schipper waren heel vriendelijk. Grotten zijn heel mooi, echte aanrader!

    Treffpunkt war nicht an den Duschen, sondern am Ticketschalter, das war etwas verwirrend und wir mussten uns selber darum bemühen.
