The Benagil Caves Boat Tour With Brunch
Tour Details
Welcome to southern Portugal! At the scheduled time, we’ll begin our catamaran tour along the Algarve coast, setting sail from Portimão Marina.
You’ll be welcomed on board with a welcome drink, choose from beer, wine, or sangria. Then, we’ll set off on our journey from Portimão to the Benagil Caves. Golden-sand beaches, sea caves, cliffs… This area certainly offers postcard-worthy scenery.
During this first part of the journey, we’ll pass by such iconic Algarve landmarks as Praia dos Caneiros, Carvoeiro, and Alfanzina, whose rugged cliffs contrast with the blue of the Atlantic.
We’ll continue sailing past the iconic Benagil Caves. These limestone sea caves are known for their natural skylights that let sunlight stream in, as if they were the windows of a temple.
After admiring the scenery of Benagil, we’ll anchor at a nearby beach, where you’ll have about 45 minutes of free time to take a dip in the sea. Next, a delicious brunch combining the best of breakfast and lunch will be served on board.
After recharging your energy, we’ll relax on the catamaran’s deck and begin the return journey to the departure marina, where we’ll conclude this 4-hour boat tour of the Algarve.
