Full description

Meet at the Portimão pier and prepare for an unforgettable adventure. After a brief and important safety briefing, board the agile RIB boat, ready to explore the wonders of the Algarve coast.

As the boat sails along, you will be treated to spectacular views of the Fort of Santa Catarina, an imposing coastal sentinel, and the castle of Ferragudo, which seems to emerge from a fairytale setting. Along the way, a picturesque fishing village completes the idyllic picture, offering an authentic glimpse of traditional seaside life.

As you sail further, prepare to be enchanted by the grandeur of the caves and cliffs that dot the coast. Each rock formation reveals a new surprise, sculpted over the centuries by the force of the sea and the wind.

The highlight of your adventure is the iconic Benagil Caves, a true natural treasure accessible only by sea. Admire the impressive openings at the top of the caves, through which the sun’s rays penetrate, illuminating the golden sand beach with a heavenly light.

Feel the magic of the environment as the echoes and sound of the wind resonate through the caves, creating an almost mystical atmosphere. If you have opted for the sunset tour, the experience becomes even more special. On the way back, the sky transforms into a palette of vibrant colors, offering a natural spectacle as the sun sets over the horizon, ending the day in an unforgettable way.

It was truly unforgettable! I would like to express my deep gratitude to the entire team.We had some issues with our transfer to Portimão, which caused us to arrive late. However, the team waited for us – that was incredibly kind and thoughtful.I truly appreciate such humanity! The crew of our boat,Black Pearl, encountered some technical issues, but they were resolved quickly and professionally. It was impressive to see how efficiently the team handled the situation. Unfortunately, I forgot the names of our guides, but I want to send them a huge thank you! The excursion was full of fun, and the guides kept us laughing with their great sense of humor. I also want to highlight how attentive they were – doing their best to shield us from the waves that could have splashed us in the face with too much “freshness” – that was so thoughtful! One truly unforgettable moment happened when we were visiting one of the caves. The captain suddenly started singing – and he had such a beautiful voice!
