Algarve Boat Tour

We'll meet at a time of your choice at Largo da Praia. From there, we'll walk to Carvoeiro beach, and get on a boat to tour the Algarve coast.

For 1 hour and 30 minutes, we'll sail along this area of southern Portugal so that you can enjoy seeing the incredible caves, formed by the erosion of the wind and water. We'll also pass by the wonderful white sand beaches of Vale Covo, Carvalho and Benagil.

The boat route will continue through the interior of the fascinating Benagil caves. As soon as we leave, we'll to see the famous Alfanzina Lighthouse in the distance, which was built in 1920.

The tour will then arrive at Marina beach through the incredible arches and rock formations that make it one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in Europe. Did you know that it is also one of the 100 best in the world?

After this, we'll head back to Carvoeiro to conclude the boat trip at the starting point.

Personal atento y adaptable a las necesidades del viajero. Embarcación en buen estado y patrón experto. Como item a mejorar por Civitatis, manifestar que el voucher facilitado no indica el nombre comercial del proveedor, solo el nombre de la sociedad, por lo que resulta complicado localizar a quién y dónde dirigirse a la llegada.

Ha sido una experiencia estupenda. Hemos hecho el paseo con Alex y Hugo. Tanto explicaciones como manejo de la barca de 10. Se han esforzado en hacer el tour con todos los idiomas que se requerían. Un acierto el haberlo hecho con esta barca, mejor que con catamarán, pues entras en recovecos pequeños que si no, no podrías entrar. Además tienen el detalle de hacerte fotos con tu grupo. MUY MUY RECOMENDABLE. ¡¡5 ESTRELLAS!! Translate this opinion into English.

It was a great experience. We did the tour with Alex and Hugo. Both the explanations and the handling of the boat were 10/10. They made an effort to do the tour with all the languages that were required. It was a good idea to have done it with this boat, better than with a catamaran, because you get into small nooks that you wouldn't be able to get into otherwise. They also have the detail of taking photos of you with your group. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 5 STARS!! Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad fue genial. Totalmente recomendable. Te enseñan todas las cuevas de la costa, desde Carvoeiro hasta la playabde la Marina, incluido Benagil. La barca entra dentro de las cuevas y te dan tiempo a para hacer fotos. Tanto el patrón de la barca como el guía son estupendos, amables y simpáticos. Todo lo que puedo decir son cosas positivas de esta actividad Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was great. Totally recommended. They show you all the caves on the coast, from Carvoeiro to the Marina beach, including Benagil. The boat enters the caves and you have time to take photos. Both the boat skipper and the guide are great, kind and friendly. All I can say are positive things about this activity Opinion translated.

Realizamos un paseo en barco, con comentarios en inglés, pero los monitores Diego y Gonzalo nos ofrecían explicaciones también en español. Fueron muy divertidos y amenos al contarnos la historia de los lugares por dónde pasamos. Nos metimos en cuevas muy estrechas para ver todo y hay que resaltar la destreza manejando la motora. También nos ayudaron a hacer las mejores fotos desde los mejores ángulos. Todo muy bien! Translate this opinion into English.

We took a boat ride, with comments in English, but the instructors Diego and Gonzalo also offered us explanations in Spanish. They were very fun and entertaining when telling us the history of the places we passed through. We went into very narrow caves to see everything and the skill in handling the motorboat must be highlighted. They also helped us take the best photos from the best angles. All very well!

Paseo en barco precioso. El guía muy amable, con buenas explicaciones y anécdotas divertidas. Cuando hagáis el paseo llevar chanclas y pantalón corto porque embarcas desde la misma playa de Carvoeiro, dentro del agua. El personal te ayuda mucho para subir. Experiencia muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Beautiful boat ride. The guide is very friendly, with good explanations and fun anecdotes. When you take the ride, wear flip-flops and shorts because you board from Carvoeiro beach itself, in the water. The staff helps you a lot to get on. Highly recommended experience. Opinion translated.
