The weather was a bit rough- tons of rain but the tour went through successfully and I highly recommend anyone visiting Lisbon for a day to try this out!! It’ll be an experience of a lifetime.”

But the cave tour is on the south side of the island so it’s blocked from the wind and waves and was really calm! Our tour guide was phenomenal on the cave tour and hike and on the boat there and back he kept checking on guests on the boat upstairs.
