Detailed description

Benagil cave tour from Albufeira on board a catamaran

An artwork of nature: this is the Benagil Cave located on the south coast of the Algarve, in the middle of a rugged landscape of cliffs, grottos and stone arches. Every year the most famous stretch of coast in Portugal attracts people from all over the world and everyone wants to see at least once the spectacular cave with its circular opening through which the sunlight falls. From the outside, this jewel can hardly be guessed. The Benagil cave trip on the small catamaran from Albufeira is a good opportunity to get closer to this world of stone and sand and to see this fascinating natural structure with your own eyes.

The cave trip to Benagil starts in the marina of Albufeira and takes a good two hours. On board of our comfortable catamaran you can enjoy the boat trip with best panoramic views. Our crew will be happy to provide service and answer your questions en route. Our Benagil boat tour starts in the afternoon when some of the larger excursion boats are gone, so that we can enjoy our cave tour with more peace and quiet. From Albufeira we will head west, taking with us many impressions of the coast. The many different rock formations and the bright colours of the coast make this part of the Algarve a picture book landscape.

The coast of Portugal is famous for its numerous grottos and caves. The Benagil Cave is one of the most famous ones and it was also included in the top 10 list of the most beautiful caves worldwide. There are several ways to get into the cave. You can walk directly to the open dome, swim from the nearby beach or go by kayak. The safest way is to take a boat trip to the caves, especially because of the tides. Our crew has experience with high and low tide and knows the best ways through this unique coastal landscape. If weather and sea conditions permit, we stop for a swim and photo stop after the cave trip to Benagil Cave. Directly from the boat you can dive into the crystal clear water of the Atlantic Ocean.
