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.
On our way back, you will get a good look at some beautiful beaches such as the Praia Grande and Praia da Rocha. Our experienced staff will also try to take you to the right spots to spot dolphins. Finally, don't miss Alfanzina Lighthouse, one of the must-sees of the Algarve.Highlights

A beautiful trip to impressive caves. Seeing the landscape from the sea was exciting, and the crew was incredibly friendly, in great spirits, and always had something to tell us about what we saw. Thank you again!
Also great: Our dog was allowed to come along! Fantastic!!
