Full description

Explore the stunning Benagil Caves on this boat tour from Carvoeiro. Cruise into the Algar de Benagil cave and breeze by the Arches of Praia da Marinha. Go for a dip in the sea at a scenic location, when conditions are safe. 

Check-in at the activity provider's ticket booth on Carvoeiro beach. Put on a life jacket and follow your guide to the boat. Hop aboard the small but comfortable boat and set off along the coast. Pass by towering cliffs, hidden coves, and long stretches of beach with golden sand.

Take in views of the Algar Seco cave and the white sand beaches of Vale Covo and Praia do Carvalho. Capture pictures as you glide by the 63-meter tall Farol de Alfanzina lighthouse. See a cave which got its name from a sunken steamboat. 

Enter the famed Algar de Benagil cave and have time to snap some more pictures before skirting by breathtaking caves and rock formations on your way towards the unique landscape of the Arches of Praia da Marinha which is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.

Cool off on a swim stop, when sea and weather conditions are right at a safe location outside caves in turquoise waters. Return to your meeting point at the end of your tour.

It was great fun. Waves were a bit larger than usual but we were OK. Since we had reservation for a specific day, provider contacted us a day berfore to let us know that it would not be possible to sail on a day we had it planned, since the weather forecast was bad, and coastal guard forbid all comercial boat trips. But we were able to go on a trip one day earlier, so everything was fine. The trip itself was nice, a guide gave us a lot of interesting facts and driving on a boat was fun as well.

The guides were great and super informative and friendly. You visit a range of caves and end with the famous benagil cave which is breathtaking (but extremely busy!). We didn’t end up getting out of the boat at all but didn’t mind as you end up seeing so much. Definitely recommend if you are wanting to experience the beauty of the Algarve.

Fantastic tour, would definitely do it again. Our guide Gonçalo had lots of stories and was very helpful and professional, with many recommendations and little tidbits of life in the coast. Captain Daniel was impressive with his mastery of the boat and showed us just a few of his tricks, we all had lots of fun. We wanted to do the kayak first but decided on this so we could see more caves and it was definitely the right choice, especially once we saw the kayakers around us! Our guide had to stop and save a couple of them on the way, which is apparently common. So book this one instead, see all the other stunning caves besides Benagil and enjoy the beautiful scenery :)
