Full description

Meet at the Portimão pier and prepare for an unforgettable adventure. After a brief and important safety briefing, board the agile RIB boat, ready to explore the wonders of the Algarve coast.

As the boat sails along, you will be treated to spectacular views of the Fort of Santa Catarina, an imposing coastal sentinel, and the castle of Ferragudo, which seems to emerge from a fairytale setting. Along the way, a picturesque fishing village completes the idyllic picture, offering an authentic glimpse of traditional seaside life.

As you sail further, prepare to be enchanted by the grandeur of the caves and cliffs that dot the coast. Each rock formation reveals a new surprise, sculpted over the centuries by the force of the sea and the wind.

The highlight of your adventure is the iconic Benagil Caves, a true natural treasure accessible only by sea. Admire the impressive openings at the top of the caves, through which the sun’s rays penetrate, illuminating the golden sand beach with a heavenly light.

Feel the magic of the environment as the echoes and sound of the wind resonate through the caves, creating an almost mystical atmosphere. If you have opted for the sunset tour, the experience becomes even more special. On the way back, the sky transforms into a palette of vibrant colors, offering a natural spectacle as the sun sets over the horizon, ending the day in an unforgettable way.
