Trigana Boat Trips operates from Lagos and serves departures around Alvor and Lagos in the Faro district. The company runs a fleet of beautifully restored traditional sailing vessels and day-cruise boats that connect Alvor and Lagos, offering return and one-way water taxis as well as themed cruises.
Trips include short water taxi crossings, 2–3.5 hour coastal cruises to the grottoes and caves of Ponta da Piedade, sunset sparkling-wine cruises, and activity-focused outings with snorkeling, paddle boarding and beach stops. Each trip highlights local natural landmarks such as the Alvor nature reserve, Meia Praia, Quinta da Rocha and the sea arches and grottoes near Ponte de Piedade.
Captains and crew provide safe, guided navigation through coastal caves and rock formations and share factual commentary about the coastline’s history and geology. Onboard service commonly includes complimentary beverages such as sangria, local sparkling wine or water and small shared fruit platters on select cruises.
