Itinerary
Portimão Marina is located on the western side of Portimão and offers not only a safe haven for sailors, but also a lively and fun spot to spend sunny summer days or to watch the waves in the winter.
We will go to Benagil, a small fishing village on the southern coast of the Algarve which has gained fame in recent years thanks to its incredible sea cave, however there is much more than just a cave to explore in this picturesque Algarve destination. The most well-known of the rock formations is the Cave of Benagil (Gruta de Benagil), where the Algar de Benagil is also located. This gigantic cave is sometimes referred to as the Benagil Cathedral because of the various arches it forms, which, viewed from the outside of the cave, give it the appearance of a cathedral.

While a little disorganized getting registered, putting on a life jacket and getting on to the boats, the trip itself was fabulous. The boat slowed down at every point the guide would speak about something, allowing us to hear. The guide was knowledgeable about the whole area, not just the caves, and it was a great way to start our day in Portimao. The guide balanced info and humor well. Nothing felt rushed. This was a great value for what we paid, the reasonable cost had me worried about the quality of the trip, but they exceeded all expectations.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the guide's knowledge, humour, and the relaxed pace of the experience. It is especially great to know that the commentary helped you discover not only the caves but also the wider Algarve coastline. We are also very pleased that you found the experience to offer such great value and that it exceeded your expectations. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on board again during a future visit to the Algarve. Warm regards, A equipa Atlantis Tours
We are still looking for the adrenaline rush…. Those who are in the back do not fully enjoy the tours. It is a shame. On the other hand, Beatriz is great!
Merci pour votre retour et pour votre commentaire sur Beatriz, qui sera certainement ravie de le lire. Nous sommes désolés que l’expérience n’ait pas été aussi dynamique que vous l’espériez et que votre place à l’arrière ait limité votre visibilité. La configuration des bateaux peut effectivement rendre certaines places moins avantageuses pour profiter pleinement des visites. Bien cordialement, L’équipe Atlantis Tours
Very nice experience. Funny guide. Told a lot about the area. Waited a long time in the heat beforehand. We had to arrive 30 minutes in advance. Our boat left 55 min later. Was a bit of a slog. Further recommended.
Dear Fausias, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour, appreciated the guide's humour and learned more about the Algarve coastline during the experience. We understand that waiting before departure can be uncomfortable, especially during warmer days. However, our meeting point is located in a public area, we are not permitted to install any permanent or temporary structures there, even just for shade. We appreciate your understanding. We are glad that, despite the wait, you found the experience worthwhile and would recommend it. We look forward to welcoming you again for another adventure along the Algarve coast. Warm regards, A equipa Atlantis Tours
Very good trip! We were only 7 people on the boat and were pretty much the only ones in some caves. Only the cave of Benagil was very busy, but beautiful. Nice crew, top experience!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Christiaan. We're very happy to know you had such a great trip and that having a smaller group allowed you to enjoy some of the caves with very few other boats around. Benagil Cave can be particularly busy, but we're pleased to hear that you still found it beautiful. Our crew will be very happy to read your kind words and know they helped make the experience so enjoyable. We hope to welcome you on board again soon for another adventure along the Algarve coast. Kind regards, The Atlantis Tours Team
