The 15 Best Benagil Cave Tours

128 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.7 average  ·  from $18

There is no way to walk into the Benagil cave, so the only real decision is which boat. These 15 run from Portimão, Albufeira, Lagos and Carvoeiro at different speeds and different prices; the kayak and paddleboard trips are the ones that go in under the arch.

“We had such a great time on the boat tour to the Benagil Caves! The ride was fun, with beautiful views of the Algarve coastline the whole way. Benagil was definitely a highlight, but what made it even better was getting to stop at several other hidden caves and grottos on the way back. It felt like a mini adventure exploring spots we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. A perfect way to enjoy the ocean and take in the scenery from a different perspective!”

He also took beautiful photos of anyone who wanted, with the views and landscapes of the place. I am Latina, and the warmth I felt from both tour guides was the closest I’ve experienced abroad to the warmth of the people back in my country!”
