Excellent trip with Joâo, Marcello and Vincenzo (hope I spell the names right). They were very informative, their English was great and they steered the boat with great care. Thanks very much again!

Full description

Beautiful cliffs, dramatic grottoes and sandy beaches make this tour a magical experience.  Depart from Portimão, passing the scenic fishing village of Ferragudo and the historic fortress that overlooks the beach. Cruise slowly towards Carvoeiro, passing by secluded beaches. Relax and enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery along the way. You will then head into the different grottoes at Algar Seco and Benagil.
