Description

Hop aboard a speed boat at Lagos Marina and cruise along the stunning coastline of the Algarve on a fast-paced adventure to the famous Benagil Caves. As you glide across the Atlantic, enjoy front-row views of dramatic cliffs, hidden beaches, and breathtaking sea stacks. Along the way, your local guide will provide live commentary, sharing fascinating facts and legends about the rock formations and the history of the area. Visit the iconic Benagil Cave, known for its massive dome and circular skylight, and explore other hidden grottos and pirate hideouts along the coast. Each trip is shaped by the tides and sea conditions, making every experience unique and spontaneous. Enjoy the top-tier safety gear, and the thrill of a smaller, more agile boat that can reach areas larger vessels can't access — all while feeling the sea breeze and the excitement of adventure. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or a nature lover, this tour delivers unforgettable coastal moments from start to finish.

Inadequate customer info

Tour departed on time, crewed by a friendly captain. While the outward leg reasonably comfortable and interesting, when we turned for home, nobody on board escaped a complete soaking as boat speed was obviously dictated for getting us back to base on time. There should be some advice given re bringing a change of clothes - or at least the provision of plastic ponchos on days when sea conditions will generate constant wave splash. Disappointing to find that the company's website would not take my message to their comments section.

Operator response

Dear customer We apologize that the tour did not meet your expectations. The speed of the boat is always high, as per definition, the speedboat drives at fast speeds. Additionally we do advise to bring a jacket, on all the platforms that sell for us, Viator included. Some splashes of water are always expected, when the sea conditions are a bit rougher, sometimes the passengers get wet. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are uncertain of what you are referring to when saying "the company's website would not take my message to their comments section", so we are unable to elaborate on that. Thank you, The Days of Adventure Team

Awesome trip. Don’t miss!

This is a fun trip - quick ride in the speed raft to the Caves which are located down the coast. On the way back to Lagos the captain goes into the caves which are awesome . Funny drivers. Nice way to cool off. Should not visit Lagos without visiting Benagil.

Great fun, interesting and nice guides

Had a great trip to the caves... Loads of thanks to the friendly guys Ricardo & Telmo who made the trip it fun, interesting and lively. If you're in Lagos, make some time one afternoon to do it... gives a great tour of the beautiful caves, and a different view of Lagos, Portimao & Alvor amongst other smaller places such as Cavoeiro that I didn't even know existed.

Fantastic morning on the water!

This is a great way to get out on the water in Lagos and see the caves. Definitely wear sunblock and be sure to pack a bag that can hold loose accessories like hats sunglasses etc.

Benagil Cave Tour

We had a wonderful experience on this tour and would recommend to others! Our tour guides were very friendly and attentive. The conditions weren’t safe for us to originally enter the Benagil cave, but later on in the tour when our guides learned the conditions had improved, they turned around so we could see it. We were really grateful and impressed!

A fantastic experience at relatively low cost

We really enjoyed this trip. You’re taken straight to Benagil and then weave in and out of the coast on the way back, seeing more caves and beautiful spots. On top of this, the captain and tour guide were both friendly, making the experience smooth and without worries.
