Awesome Private Tour - Incredible tour with a great guide. Would recommend doing an early or sunrise option to avoid the crowds. We were the first group in the cave and it was super special!

LOOK NO FURTHER! - I booked a private tour with BrotheRootz and our guide was Caio. The company accommodated my request to kayak at 7:00 am instead of 7:30 am because I wanted to be the first one at Benagil Cave; Mission accomplished! Caio is a professional Geologist by trade and educated us on the surrounding landscape and geology. Caio then took us off track to some other caves not known to many tourists and it was just as beautiful as the Benagil Cave. If you book a general tour, the company still caps the number of kayakers to 12 which really makes the experience more intimate. While I was on the tour, I saw other tour companies leaving from Benagil Beach taking 30-40 kayakers which made me question safety. This tour leaves from Carvoeiro Beach which is away from all the chaos at Benagil Beach! It’s also a major bonus that the company takes pictures of you Kayaking which otherwise can’t be captured by yourself.

Excellent - I visited Portugal with friends and took the Benagil tour with Paco. I strongly recommend booking with them, they are super professional, funny and helpful (recommended us some places to visit nearby). If you visit Algarve you must book an experience here!

! Would totally recommend this awesome adventure - It was an amazing experience, our guide was amazing and being a geologist he was able to go into great deal on explaining the geological formations and reasons behind the caves and their formations! Safety was stressed and all employees were so helpful and very professional

A great morning for the family. - A fabulous 2 hours with excellent instructors who speak fluent English. Very small groups giving a personal service. Meet at Carvalho beach car park and the kayaks are taken through a tunnel to the beach for you. They respond well to whattsapp nd send you loads of photos afterwards.

Experience of a lifetime! - We did a private sunrise tour on our August 2023 Honeymoon. Spent 2 hours exploring the caves and the ocean with Caio and I can honestly say, these were the most magical and perfect 2 hours of our Portugal trip. These 3 guys really cater to your needs and respect yourlevel of experience: do not hesitate to take this tour even if you have no SUP experience, you are in expert hands. We had the chance of exploring Benagil and being alone for a good 5 minutes (if you've been, you know this is extraordinary in August) because of Caio's thoughtfulness who called the night before to ask us if we'd be willing to be there 30 minutes earlier so we can have this magical experience. Since we had SUP experience, we were even treated to a different route and explored caves that were out of the tourists traps, meaning we were completely alone the whole morning. No means of disrespecting any other business, but this is the best way to really immerse yourself in the grandiosity and beauty of the region, taking time to visit and learn about the caves. Through the morning, we could see all the boats taking tourists through the caves for a quick picture and I can honestly say I felt very special with Caio. Brotherootz truly love their region and it shows through their respect of the ocean and the environment.

Amazing SUP tour - This tour was the highlight of our trip! I truly recommend Brotherootz for any tours in the Algarve. They’re approach turns away from a mass tour mentality and provides a personalised and very enjoyable experience. Not only did they provide us with drybags and gopro footage, but Caio, our tour guide, went out of his way to take some awesome photos, explain the geology about the caves as well as helped us plan the rest of our stay in the Algarve. After visiting Benagil Cave, Caio also took us to lesser known caves but which I believe are even more beautiful then Benagil. Definitely book your tours with Brotherootz!

Paddle boarding with Egas’ - An amazing day paddle boarding with Egas! Organised by his friendly crew. Egas’ was professional, kind and so informative on all the local beaches, caves and local history. He took time to explain how to operate the paddle board, and continued to keep us right as we paddled along the shore. He took photographs, which capture memories we will have for a life time. We laughed the whole time, and Egas’ told some great stories as we paddled along watching the world go by. We stopped off at many caves, but Benagil was a favourite - Egas’ told us all about the history of the cave and the formation! My partner isn’t a great swimmer but that made no difference with life jackets provided and an experienced tour guide absolutely nothing was going to go wrong! After visiting Carvoeiro every year for 10 years, this is for sure top of our list of excursions.
