Ponta da Piedade Tours

Ponta da Piedade Tours is a boat trip along the Lagos coast where visitors explore cliffs, caves, and small beaches from the water. The small boats navigate through narrow passages between rocks and into the insides of caves and grottos, where different colors of stone and water become visible.

The cliffs of Ponta da Piedade were shaped over millions of years by waves and weather, creating the stable rock formations visible today. Local fishermen have used this coastline for navigation and food for a long time.

The boat tours reveal how Lagos and the sea have shaped each other over time, with the coast serving as the heart of local life. Visitors experience the same connection to the water that fishermen and residents have maintained for generations.

The tours start from Lagos Marina, which is easily walkable from most places in town, and last between one and one and a half hours. It is advisable to bring a camera and a light jacket in cooler months, as wind on the water can lower the temperature.

Some rock formations inside the caves resemble animals or objects, which visitors often photograph and explore in conversations with guides. These natural patterns formed through erosion and add a playful element to the tour alongside the raw beauty.
