Benagil Kayak Tour: Famous & Hidden Caves – Small Groups

This was a wonderful small-group kayak tour. Alex, the guide, did a great job directing us through the caves and kept us clear of other boats and less well organized groups. This was a really fun afternoon activity for 4 active adults in their 60s. We had all kayaked or canoed before, as had the other participants. One note: when you get to Benagil, go ahead and park in the lot at the top of the hill.

Alex was a Great guide, very educated. Kayaks are the comfortable ones with the nice seat backs. Other companies had hard plastic ones the looked awful. Went into a lot of caves, well worth the price.

Fantastic experience through the caves of benagil. Fantastic tour guide. Waterproof bags provided and options to buy waterproof phone cases. Our guide even took the time to take photos for us

My husband and I had a wonderful time on our kayak tour. Flor was our tour guide and she was wonderful! She took us to hidden caves and even took pictures for us. Take this tour, you won’t regret it!!

This was our favourite day in our two-week Portugal trip. Paddling through caves and seeing the beautiful landscape from the ocean was incredible. Alex was a knowledgeable and patient guide. I highly recommend doing the 8am time slot. We sat on the beach after returning around 10am and watched many many more boats and kayaks fill up the sea in the afternoon. In the early time slot, we had the Benagil cave entirely to our tour.

Had a great time kayaking the Benagil caves. Flora was a great guide and took some amazing picture of us with our camera. Highly recommend doing this early in the morning. As our trip was ending there were so many groups starting and also the boats were making a lot harder. Our time on the water was amazing though. Loved seeing and being able to go in the caves.

If I could give this 6 stars, I absolutely would! Our party was running late, and the team was incredibly understanding and did everything they could to accommodate us. The tour itself was absolutely breathtaking—an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Experience was amazing! Our guide, Flo, was terrific, fun and made everyone feel comfortable. We were guided in and out of some really cool caves. One tip: go for the earliest time. It’s really peaceful and tranquil. If you go later it will be a zoo and waves will be more powerful due to tour boats everywhere. That said: 10/10!

Had a great time! Our guide was really friendly. Loved all the places she brought us to. Would definitely recommend this activity and company.

The meeting point was rather strange- you have to find an unmarked gray van by the side of this very steep and windy road. If they could get a "Salty Cliffs Benagil" sign to put on their van, that would be very helpful! Other than that, this was a great experience. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. The kayaks and safety equipment were in good shape and comfortable. They supply waterproof bags for your valuables and let you leave the rest of your stuff in their van. Our guide was Alex and he was the best! He told us the history and geology of the area and got out of his kayak to take family photos of each group in the amazing areas. We only had 4 double kayaks in our group so it was very easy to keep us together. Some of the other groups were very large. A small group is definitely the way to go. Alex took us to some really neat caves that bigger groups couldn't do. Try to go as early in the morning as possible. We went around 10 am and it was perfect. When we got back it was so much busier. There are bathrooms right by the launch point but no toilet paper in any stall so bring a little pack of kleenex. Of all the things we did on our vacation, this one really stands out. It's adventurous and memorable. A must do!
