This was a wonderful day tour! I really enjoyed the hike. The guide did a great job showing us the best places to take photos and share information about the area. I recommend sturdy shoes for the part of the day. We then had about an hour and a half to spend at the beach. You have to take your beach stuff with you on the hike. I brought along some sandals in my backpack. After that the guide took those who wanted to cliff dive off to do that while those who didn't could view another cave or have a drink at a nearby cafe. It was a great day and I highly recommend this day trip.

Full description

Embark into the paradise of the Algarve Coast.

Departing from Faro in a comfortable van equipped with air conditioning and karaoke, enjoy a peaceful and exciting journey to the municipality of Lagoa, where the scenery of this adventure awaits.

The first stop is Benagil, home to one of the most famous caves in the world, the extraordinary Algar de Benagil or Benagil Cave. The lush views of the cliffs, beach, and caves of the area will make an invitation to happiness.

We will start our adventure taking a short walk to Benagil's viewpoint, passing through a small fishing village. Immerse yourself in the culture and history of the area. After enjoying the view from the viewpoint, we will descend to visit Benagil Beach and prepare for hiking on the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail.

During the hike between Benagil and Praia da Marinha along the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, your guide will inform you about interesting facts and aspects about the fauna, flora and geology of the region. The views from the top of Benagil Cave, The Gigante, Praia da Corredoura, Praia da Mesquita and Praia da Marinha will leave you breathless. You will visit incredible sites such as Elephant Rock, the mini canyon and the secret heart of the Seven Valleys.

After the hike, you will have free time to refresh and relax at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Marinha Beach. The crystal-clear waters and golden sands will make a brilliant invitation to explore this beauty. Ask your guide about the secret spots!

At Algar Seco, the galleries and caves carved into the limestone rock will amaze you. The legends about this natural monument will take you on a journey through the beginnings of Portugal. The fossils embedded in the rocky coast will convince you that nature is sovereign.

To finish, a cliff jump into the deep waters of the North Atlantic will provide a farewell full of adrenaline and excitement.

When you return to Faro, you will have the feeling of having lived in a film.
