Highlights
  • Marina de Portimao - Portimão Marina is located on the western side of Portimão and offers not only a safe haven for sailors, but also a lively and fun spot to spend sunny summer days or to watch the waves in the winter. We will have a short walk around before hopping on the boat.
  • Algar de Benagil - We will go to Benagil, a small fishing village on the southern coast of the Algarve which has gained fame in recent years thanks to its incredible sea cave, however there is much more than just a cave to explore in this picturesque Algarve destination.

The most well-known of the rock formations is the Cave of Benagil (Gruta de Benagil), where the Algar de Benagil is also located. This gigantic cave is sometimes referred to as the Benagil Cathedral because of the various arches it forms, which, viewed from the outside of the cave, give it the appearance of a cathedral.

What's Included

  • Skilled skippers and knowledgeable tour guides

friendly staff, very professional, great experience. - Wonderful quick 90 min trip (myself, my sister and my 9yrs old child). Full details with directions, location map and guidance and recommendation (what to wear) were given immediately when placing the booking online. Upon arrival and throughout the trip, the staff and guides were amazing (3 different language speaker guides available during our trip), we were offered towels to protect against getting soaked by sea water boat splash. Great value and great service. Would recommend to family and friends.

Great - I had the pleasure of taking a tour of the Benagil caves today, and it was perfect despite the rough seas. Starting with check in, very friendly staff, available, highly attentive to the customer, everything extremely organized. Upon arriving at the boat, I was greeted by extremely attentive staff, concerned about our safety, namely captain Carlos, who had the pleasure of explaining to me and presenting the meaning and names of all the points of interest we were seeing, captain Paulo , extremely confident in driving the boat, despite the sea being rough, everything was perfect! A big thank you for this wonderful experience! Keep doing this great work!
