Fab trip, perfect duration - Pleased I opted for a 90 min tour, I think any longer would have been more of the same or padding it out for the sake of it. With two young boys (9 & 5) the duration was spot on. A few fast exciting bits, but nothing too scary at all. We had massive smiles all round. Water was pretty calm on the 4.30pm trip in mid-late August. Caves and local beaches are stunning. Go in swimwear and take a towel as you get 5-10 mins for a dip (optional). Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and our boys still talking about it 2 days later. There is parking very close to the meeting point with 100s of spaces for €2.50 all day. Enjoy!9

Dinghy ride in benagil - We did this excursion a bit by chance after reading other travellers' experiences. The boat tour was super, we did the 4.30pm one and it was the prime time for the colors and to take the best photos. Our guides André who drove the dinghy and Marta our guide who explained the various points were also very good at keeping us entertained with the final swim. I recommend it to anyone who passes by the portimaio

Fabulous experience, worth it - We went by speedboat, a fantastic experience, we had a great time, it took me deep into the caves, they explained everything to you. Then if you like speed, a 10. And in the last cave they give you a little while to take a dip, great.

Benagil caves excursion. - We went on a fast boat, quite an experience, it went through quite a few caves, and it also gave us time to take a dip. The very fun ride at full speed bouncing on the water.

Nice to be on the water - Sites were spectacular! Boat was small(good thing)so we got farther into smaller caves. It was also faster so we got back faster. Negative was the orientation of where we were was terrible.
