Details
Those beautiful pictures of caves tend to charm immediately! Now it is your turn to see them live. The Berlengas Archipelago is the perfect spot to go to for a day trip. It is located 16 km west of Peniche, and our destination is the biggest island, Berlenga, where you will find a vital bird life and in spring a variety of flowers. Come, swim, and explore the caves.
We start in Peniche and head to the Berlenga island with our catamaran boat within 30 minutes. Once on the island, you will be able to spend 3 hours up to your preferences and wishes. Part of the program is a 30-minute trip to the caves on our glass-bottom boat. Therefore, we change boats. We will explore the Azul cave and the S. João Batista cave, where an unforgettable experience already awaits you.
The rest of your time you are free to get lost in the beauty of Berlenga. What do you think of a swim in the crystal clear water, an exploration of forte são joão Batista, or just a promenade around the island?
