Itinerary

Pass by

After boarding at the Naval Club of Portimão aboard our boat Motion, you will set off to discover the Arade River, the lovely fishing village Ferragudo, the São João do Arade castle and the Marina of Portimão. Life is good in the river.

Pass by

Once out of the river, the Atlantic Ocean opens its arms to us. The excursion begins along our golden coast by the beautiful beach of Caneiros. Sun-kissed cliffs, breathtaking sea caves and gorgeous desert beaches.

Pass by

The shape and colors of the cliffs keep changing throughout the trip. You will be surprised by caves accessible only by sea, such as the big smuggling cave or the incredible Lovers' cave. A real paradise. Then we arrive at the village of Carvoeiro, a typical Algarve village nestled in a valley.

Pass by

From the village of Carvoeiro, you will observe a wooden path perched on the cliffs and amazing rock formations, like Algar Seco, the towel of Boneca or the surprising Valley of Covo.

Pass by

We leave Carvoeiro and its houses to reach the Alfanzina lighthouse. The famous trail Seven Hanging valleys begins at Centianes beach, shortly before the lighthouse. Around the lighthouse, the sea caves are different and the cliffs are higher. You will discover the cave of the witch, the cave of the Pirate or the magnificent triangle in the rock!

Pass by

Before admiring the most famous secret of the Algarve, the Benagil cave, we pass in front of Carvalho beach, a real jewel of nature. Then comes Benagil beach and the amazing cave of Benagil. The sun makes a turn in the Benagil cave all day.

10 min

Our trip ends at Marinha beach. One of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Marinha beach is a real postcard, with unusual rock formations, like the bridge and natural arches. We do the swimming stop in the open sea or a break front of the Marinha beach

100% Recommend!

Really amazing experience! Julie and Helder are great, engaging with everyone and having a great laugh too! The trip is perfect, visiting numerous stops along the way to see the amazing coastline not just the benagil cave. Julie’s knowledge of the area is exceptional, with great recommendations given on beaches/towns to visit. Definetly a worthwhile trip and really affordable too!

Top!

A more than pleasant experience in the company of Julie and Helder. We did not notice the 2 hours of the excursion passing by. Everything was great: the explanations (in French), the atmosphere on board the boat. Thank you to Julie for our exchanges and for taking the time to advise us during our stay. I recommend 🙂 Pauline.

Benagil Caves with good waves.

Superb excursion to the Benagil Caves! Very friendly, professional, and warm team. Entering the caves by boat was very impressive and magical to experience! The explanations in French about the coast were very interesting and the landscapes were magnificent. An unforgettable experience during our road trip in Portugal. Thank you very much!

Highly recommend great experience!

Julie is a wonderful guide, she is welcoming, knowledgable, and funny! We had so much fun exploring the caves & learning about them. The boat trip is also fun windy but adds to the enjoyment! Highly recommend this smaller more personal trip rather than the larger one!

Operator response

Dear Emma, Thank you for this lovely comment. We are touched, and thank you again for the photo of your hotel tour :) Enjoy your stay in Portugal!
