Description

Discover the natural phenomenon in the Algarve with this Benagil Caves Boat Tour. You'll enjoy visiting one of the most impressive places that the southern Portuguese coastline has to offer.

Benagil Caves Boat Tour

We'll meet at the time of your choice at Largo da Praia and go to Carvoeiro beach to board a boat. From there we'll start our walk to the incredible Benagil caves.

The boat will take us along the Atlantic waters and pass by the Algarve coast, where we'll see the natural caves created by wind and water erosion. You'll also get views of the Carvalho and Benagil beaches, which stand out for their fine white sand.

Following on, the boat will also give us views of the famous Alfanzina Lighthouse, which was built in 1920. Then, we'll finally arrive at the fascinating Benagil caves. Did you know that they can only be accessed by sea? Their impressive size and the contrast of colours inside make them the most spectacular in the Algarve - a natural wonder!

After being impressed with its beauty, we'll make our way back to Carvoeiro to finish the boat ride after an hour's journey.

Hubo un cambio en la fecha, al día siguiente debido al estado de la mar. Avisaron con la suficiente antelación para el cambio de planes. En cuanto a la excursión tanto mi mujer como yo pasamos muy buen rato y se nos hizo muy corta. Actividad muy recomendable por la belleza de las cuevas y por el trato de la tripulación.

There was a change in date, the next day due to the state of the sea. They gave sufficient notice for the change of plans. As for the excursion, both my wife and I had a great time and it seemed very short. A highly recommended activity for the beauty of the caves and the treatment of the crew. Opinion translated.

Une superbe balade dans différentes grottes et le long des falaises. Benagil étant déjà bondée à 9h du matin, elle perd beaucoup de son charme. Mais les autres grottes sont magnifiques. Lhumour et la sympathie de Diogo et de Tiago qui nous accompagnaient, ont rendu cette balade encore plus agréable. Totalement recommandable. Translate this opinion into English.

A superb walk in various caves and along the cliffs. Benagil being already crowded at 9am, it loses a lot of its charm. But the other caves are magnificent. The humor and sympathy of Diogo and Tiago who accompanied us, made this ride even more pleasant. Totally recommendable. Opinion translated. Show original.
