Paddle with a small English-speaking group through Benagil’s sea caves and deserted beaches, with gear included for a 2-hour adventure.
“I had a great time. I traveled alone and it was my first time kayaking so one of the guides, Diogo, offered to go in the kayak with me. Both guides were very informative about the areas we went to. I would recommend this to anyone that comes to the area.”
A 2-hour beginner-friendly surf lesson in Alentejo at Praia do Malhão, with wetsuit and board included, snorkel time, and small-group coaching.
“My husband and I took a 5 day course. We had a really great time. Teachers are very nice, supportive and professional and our progress was super well followed up. I really learnt a lot in a wonderful environment thank you!! We will come back”
Kayak the Benagil coast for 2 hours with guides, life vests, and a waterproof bag. See Benagil Cave and Marinha beach.
“One of the best experiences of my life. The guide is very sweet and knows how to make the experience worthwhile. 100% would recommend going with them. The guide took us to some extra caves for free as well. Go early! We booked a tour at 8:30 AM and were the only ones in the ocean. Got to see all the crowded locations with 0 crowd.”
Kayak from Benagil to Praia da Marinha in 2 hours. See Algarve caves and rock formations with a guide, life jacket, and waterproof bag.
“I have to start off by saying the company is great. Very reliable and easy to find. The guides were very nice too. I have no complaints about them. What we did not like about the tour was the group size. There were about 15 kayaks with 3 guides. One of the guides provided information about the caves but at times it was impossible to hear if you were in the back of the group. Because of the group size, we didn’t explore many caves. We did a small group kayak tour the day before of other caves and the experience was much more enjoyable. We went into so many…”
Hike the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail and cruise into Benagil Caves on a small RIB with Portimão pickup for a full Algarve day
“Pretty level hiking for the most part and a slow pace, with just a few steep sections... no need to be in great shape to be fine on the walk. Our group had about 13 with 2 guides, and several were older... no one had any issues at all. Great guides, great views. And, the boat trip to see the caves from sea level was awesome! The RIB they used was comfortable and small enough to get in to all the caves.”
