On holiday in the Algarve? Don't miss the chance to explore the Portuguese coast by catamaran from Portimão and kayak into the Benagil cave!
You've probably already seen photos of the famous Benagil cave. This exceptional natural site in the Algarve is a must-see in Portugal! Accessible only by sea and famous for its immense rocky vault illuminated by natural light, the Benagil cave is easily accessible from Portimão by boat. As the catamaran used for this excursion does not allow you to enter the cave, this complete activity will take you to Albandeira beach by boat and then on to the Benagil cave by sea kayak to discover it in the best possible way.
Accessible to everyone from the age of 4, your catamaran excursion from Portimão begins in this sunny Algarve port town with your check-in. You will then receive a safety briefing and embark on a boat trip to Albandeira beach. A real hidden paradise, this beach between Carvoeiro and Armação de Pêra is less crowded than the other beaches in the area and offers a very pleasant, tranquil atmosphere.
Those who wish to do so can go sea kayaking from Albandeira beach to the Benagil cave. This part of the excursion is optional but highly recommended for a magical immersion in the Algarve's most famous cave! In total, it will take you around 1.5 hours to paddle to the Benagil cave. Along the way, you'll come across a number of caves that you can also visit with the information provided by your guide: Gruta do Capitão, Praia do Barraquinho, Gruta do Baraço and Praia da Marinha. Don't worry, if you're feeling tired and want to rest, the catamaran will always be nearby!
For a personalized, tailor-made experience with a group of friends and family, a private cruise is also available. This can be a great way to celebrate a birthday in an original way, or simply to enjoy greater flexibility on the itinerary.
Perfect for discovering the Benagil cave by kayak, whatever your level, a catamaran excursion from Portimão is a great compromise between the comfort of a boat trip and the adventure of a sea kayak excursion! Don't hesitate to book for a magical experience under the Algarve sun during your stay in Portugal!
