Full description
Join in on this 2-hour guided journey along the Algarve coastline to Benagil Cave. Much more than a simple boat trip, this fun and fantastic adventure will immerse you into the natural beauty of Portugal like you’ve never experienced before.
From the pier of Clube Naval de Portimão, begin your ride along the coastline, admiring its churches, castles, and beautiful caves. As you glide over the water, your guide will tell you (sometimes spooky) ancient stories and teach you about the history of the Arade River.
It’s also a possibility that you’ll see dolphins — all boats are equipped with VHF Radios synchronized with dolphin-watching vessels. If these breathtaking animals are spotted within a 3-mile radius, the boat will go to their location.
When you arrive at the Benagil Cave, you’ll be blown away by its beauty. A naturally formed hole at the top lets the sunlight filter down to the sandy beach below. Listen to the echoes of the wind and let yourself be fulfilled and calmed by your surroundings.
