All around a great time with Brodie. It was a nice small group, just us and one other couple. We all got to know each other which made the whole experience even better. Brodie is the Aussie version of Matthew McConaughey, inside and out. He provided us with boogie boards to swim into the cave with and a spread of some lunch afterwards. As well as all the sangria and beer we could want to drink. The swim into the cave wasn’t too challenging and was so rewarding!

Incredible day! We had booked this activity with Brodie to do the swim to the Benagil Cave but days before they had shut down the cave to all visitors. This all occurred days before the activity. Frankly, we had considered canceling as we were disappointed with the cave's closing to visitors. Thankfully we didn't! Brodie was quick to message us and update us to the unfortunate closing of Benagil. He seamlessly put together an unbelievable day for us including a picturesque hike along the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail. Meanwhile, Brodie set up a spot along the beach at the end of the trail complete with homemade sangria, beer, snacks, and sandwiches. We spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the crashing waves and beautiful glowing cliffs of the Seven Hanging Valleys. If you are in the area, we highly recommend looking into an activity with Brodie. He gets you out of the touristy area and shows you beauty of the Algarve coast. The way he speaks about Portugal and its people will make you fall in love with the country all the more. Thanks Brodie! Have a good one!

Absolute 10/10 experience, will recommend to anyone visiting Lagos. Brody is a super chill bloke whose unique adventure is so much better than renting a kayak or taking an overpriced boat in to see the unreal Benagil cave. Brody’s van gets you to Benagil in 40 mins, while enjoying beers, banter and some good tunes. When you arrive at the beach, it’s crazy overcrowded but Brody gives you everything you need (towels, boards, sunscreen etc) and sends you to a quiet spot on the beach. The swim to the cave is bloody cold but not far at all, and easy for any adult. Brody brings your phone in a waterproof bag, and you spend a good half an hour in the cave admiring it before swimming back. Brody then provides a sandwich lunch with his famous homemade hummus (hand mashed) before taking you to look at the cave from above. Follow this up with a cruisy drive back to Lagos, and it’s such good value for €50. If you feel like stepping away from the cringe mainstream tour, this is perfect.

Absolutely the best way to experience the cave! Brody made the trip as smooth as possible and his lunch, sangria, and beers were fantastic. Don’t get trapped by kayak rentals or boats that barely enter the cave! The swim wasn’t bad and he offers life jackets and pool noodles as aids if needed. Brody also hangs around on his surfboard and will make sure boats or kayakers keep their distance so you can focus on swimming. Nothing beat being able to come out of the water and sit on the beach in the cave. The food was great and it was nice to hang with the rest of the group and learn where everyone was from!
