Guidekin's take

A small group day to Berlenga Grande off Peniche: the boat crossing, the fort, a glass bottom boat into the caves and snorkelling gear, with a fast or a slow boat tier.

Food and hotel pickup are not included, and the island needs ID details in advance. 4.72 from 243 reviews at €100 per person.

In our comparison: #7 of 7 in Small-Group Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
