A visit to the famous Benagil Caves are something you can't miss while in Algarve. Join us on our exciting boat trip and experience the all-encompassing beauty of these natural wonders! We have various boats such as motorboats, catamarans and traditional boats where we can accommodate different group sizes and preferences.
Our trip departs from Portimão. Don't forget your camera while at the Benagil Caves as this is a sight you don't want to forget. We will make sure to show you all the nooks and crannies from the inside of this cave. Afterwards, depending on the waves and wind directions, we will head to Praia do Pintadinho or Praia da Corredoura, where you will have a chance to have a refreshing swim during our 15-minute stop.
