Superb!! Although your description of swim in. Praia de Marhinha would have been more honest to say “ swim off the boat near Praia de Marinha “ it did not stop me from jumping “ overboard as the 1 older passage her in the water. Your captain Marceau and guide Carlos were WONDERFUL!! I’d go again in a heartbeat. Sarah as owner/operator of Algarve Discovery is Phenomenal Cooperative , and a”peach”. Without her help and flexibility, we would not have been able to have this unforgettable experience!!

One of the best activities we did in Portugal! You want to go with a boat that is small enough that you can speak with your captain and have him explain to you one on one, all the history behind naming these caves. In comparison to what we saw once we were in the water, our boat and size of the group was the best choice and value for the money. Our group total was 12 people.

My husband and I were on a cruise with a stop on Portimao, so we booked this excursion to see the Benagil Cave. So glad we did! The entire excursion, seeing the coastline, all the caves, and the guides knowledge of the caves and towns we were seeing, so much fun! Would highly recommend and if we’re in Portimao again, we will definitely take this tour again!!
