Full description

Important Information:
As of 10/09/2023, local authorities no longer allow anyone to enter the Benagil cave by kayak or paddle. This means that, for safety and legal reasons, we can only view the cave aboard the boat.

But don’t worry — your kayaking adventure still takes you along the stunning coastline, where you'll discover other beautiful caves, rock formations, and hidden beaches, always depending on sea conditions and with safety as a priority.

Tour Description:
Begin your Benagil tour with a boat ride from Albufeira Marina, specially designed for your comfort. Relax and enjoy breathtaking coastal views during a 40-minute cruise before transferring to your kayak.

Follow your experienced guide as you paddle through turquoise waters, exploring secret caves and secluded spots that are only accessible by sea. A full safety briefing ensures you're comfortable, even as a beginner.

After the kayaking experience, return to the boat and enjoy a smooth ride back to the marina while taking in the final views of the Algarve coast.
