We tried to kayak one day but the waters were too rough. The guides made the tough decision to cancel. It was the correct decision based on conditions. We went the next day and we are so glad we did. It was spectacular! We didn’t go into just the Benagil caves but into and through some other ones. It was exhilarating! So glad we rescheduled. We felt safe the entire trip. Rafael was a great guide. All the guides are helpful and friendly. It’s a team effort.

Full description

Your journey begins at the picturesque Benagil Beach, where our experienced guides will provide a thorough introduction to kayaking techniques and safety instructions, including how to navigate your kayak safely inside the caves. Once you're ready, set off on a guided tour that showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Algarve's coastline. Paddle your way through crystal-clear waters, discovering both hidden and well-known caves, each with its unique charm and geological wonders. Choose from a 2-hour tour for an in-depth exploration of various caves along the coast, or a 45-minute tour that takes you directly to the iconic Benagil Cave and back, offering a shorter yet equally captivating experience. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or a first-time kayaker, this adventure provides the perfect blend of excitement and tranquility, allowing you to connect with nature in a unique and unforgettable way.

A great experience that was worth every penny! The caves are amazing, and we’re glad we decided to see them by kayak. Our guide, Rafa, was fantastic! He shared great information throughout the tour and even took some great pictures of my partner and I.
