Description
This unique adventure lets you explore both small and large coastal caves—places only accessible by kayak. Our kayaks are nimble enough to navigate areas where larger boats can't go, especially in iconic spots like the Benagil Cave and Pirates Cave. Plus, motor boats are not allowed to stop or let passengers exit in these caves, making the kayak experience even more exclusive.
Our tours are eco‑friendly: we use non‑motorized kayaks that leave no pollution behind.
Your safety is our top priority. Professional guides accompany every tour to assist you throughout the journey.
Please note that while we will make a few stops along the way, a reasonable physical fitness level is required to participate.

Overall a very pleasant tour
Pro's - Gabriel was an excellent guide, good knowledge, good manner (excellent English) and went at a nice pace.
Scenery was stunning and felt we saw what we needed to in one hour
Con's
Says they do not wait for people but we didn't leave the meeting point until 15 mins after the start time. (They made the time up so still had the hour) Not normally an issue but we had other plans that morning.
5 euro's for a locker. I may have missed it on the email but thought it a bit cheeky to charge.

Beautiful views, hilarious guide, intimate group
It was just us and one other couple, Raffa was our guide, he was knowledgeable and hilarious. The views and pictures he took of us was so amazing and the entire experience was so well coordinated and timed. We went for 9am and there was some parking up the road for 3 euros we came down and from there they took care of us the whole time. They have water bags about the size of a sack fo potatoes so you cna put electronics and valuables in there.

Benagil Algarve by kayak is a must see!
We had a good time with Raphael exploring the Benagil Algarve …beautiful landscape. Lots of boats and kayaks, going early morning is easiest!
A must see.
