Full description

Sail along the Algarve coast on a boat trip from Portimão. Admire highlights, including the Benagil Cave and the Fort of São João do Arade. Swim in the crystal waters and learn about the area from your guide.

Boarding at the Marina of Portimão, you will see the Castel of S.João do Arade and the fort of Stª Catarina from the Arade River, a unique perspective from the river to the city of Portimão. 

See beautiful beaches and caves, from Portimão through to Carvoeiro, passing Benagil all the way to the famous beach of Praia da Marinha.

The trip was really nice. The guide is very funny and tells a lot of interesting facts, but in a non-boring way. There was a really strong wind and because of that we couldn’t make a stop to swim. That was unfortunate but not the guides fault obsiouvly. Overall a nice trip, would recommend.

Fantastic boat trip in the marvellous caves. The boat was a fast speed boat with only 11 seats so not so crowded like other larger boats we saw. The guide was friendly and informative in English and in Portuguese. The driver was very good and we even had a bonus of seeing dolphins on our way back. Fantastic trip, thank you to Royal Nautic boat trips team!

The organization was excellent and on time. The captain was funny and entertained us all the time. The guide in English was difficult to hear because it was speaking with low voice. Fortunately I understand a little bit of French and i heard the captain explaining. I was a little bit disappointed because we didn’t stop and stay more time in Benagil cave off the boat but I can understand cause it was difficult to arrange to stay more time inside cause it was very crowded.
