Description

Leaving the meeting point, we headed for one of the Algarve's most emblematic beaches: Praia da Marinha. A unique beauty, where our eyes are lost in the horizon of the sea, we can contemplate the beauty of the rocky formation of the Algarve coast. In this setting, we'll taste port wine and then head to Benagil beach, where we'll take a fishing boat straight from the sand and be guided by local hands to visit some of the caves, including Benagil. We'll end our tour at a typical Portuguese pottery, where the colours show us the difference between Algarvian pottery and that of the rest of the country.

Magical Benagil

The tour guide, Carla, was very knowledgeable about the area’s customs and traditions. She took us to amazing viewpoints, where we had time to breathe in fresh air and take pictures. The Benagil boat ride to the caves was excellent too. However, there was no farmer, and no honey, as stated on the description. The store was beautiful if you’re into expensive pottery, a gift shop that has a variety of local, traditional products would have better. But the biggest disappointment was not seeing Benagil cave from above. I feel that if this is false advertisement.

Greetings from the Zebra Safari Tours team. We want to thank you for booking with Zebra Safari Tours, giving us the opportunity to show you a little of our Algarve coast, which is of indescribable beauty. We are very happy to know that you really enjoyed the places you visited as well as your guide Carla. We understand your disappointment at not going to visit the top of the cave, we feel the same disappointment but we cannot do anything about it, as it is the decision of local entities and the maritime police who this year decided not to let anyone approach the part above the cave. , because it is dangerous. We are sorry that you feel that this is a false advertisement, but I assure you that it is not, and we inform you that in our description it does not mention that we visited the cave above. We hope to see you again soon to carry out other activities with Zebra. Thank you on behalf of the entire Zebra Safari Tours team.

Just right insiders family tour of Benagil!

Experience was excellent even though the weather wasn’t. Just the right amount of time and the views were spectacular. Our pictures don’t do it justice. Our guide was really helpful and took us on an insiders tour. She gave us space to enjoy as a family but also was right there to answer questions we had and provide great insights along the way. Highly recommended. Great value and time spent for our family of 5. Muito Obrigado Ms. L. Silva!
