Hélder and Julie welcome you aboard their comfortable boat "Motion". Our boat does not accommodate more than 15 people and easily enters the caves. We are a dynamic and smiling young couple. We provide a personalised service to each of you with joy and good humour. Our job is not only to navigate, we are also here to allow you to live unforgettable experiences! Fun and relaxation guaranteed for all ages!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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

Bonjour Carole, ce fut une belle journée en mer en votre compagnie. Merci pour ce retour chaleureux
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.
un doux merci Pauline pour vos mots et pour nous avoir fait confiance jusqu'au bout. A très bientôt
