Benagil Caves Cruise + BBQ

At 10 am, we'll set sail from the Vasco da Gama dock in Portimão to the Benagil Caves.

During this sea adventure in the south of Portugal aboard the catamaran Ophelia, we'll sail off the coast of Ferragudo. On the coastline of this beautiful Algarve village, we'll see Praia Grande and the Fort of São João, a castle rising imposingly over the Atlantic.

After seeing these places from the boat, we'll continue the crossing along the coast of Algar Seco. We'll finally dock in front of the Benagil Caves, which you'll be able to explore at your own leisure with the small boats we'll provide for you.

We'll then disembark in one of the coves in Benagil. While the crew prepares lunch on the beach, you'll have some free time for a relaxing swim and paddle surfing. The menu includes a delicious barbecue of different grilled meats, bread, traditional Algarve salad, and seasonal fruit. You'll enjoy an open bar, where you can drink white or red wine, orange soda, or mineral water.

After lunch, we'll return to the boat and head back to Portimão. We'll arrive at the departure dock at 4 pm.

Itinerary Changes

In the event of adverse weather conditions, the maritime police on occasion may prohibit access to the Benagil Cave. If this happens, you'll have more free time to take a dip, the aquatic sports and the barbecue on the beach.
