The 5 Cave Kayaking Tours in Portimao Worth Going Under For

1.Small Group Kayak Experience In Benagil Cave with 4K Photos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,468 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $48Our pick

Paddle from Carvalho Beach toward Benagil Cave in a group of up to 12, with guides such as Patrick, Simon, Pancho, and Miguel leading you into sea caves and quiet coves. Kayaks, life jackets, dry bags, back support, insurance, and photos are included. Sunrise departures offer calmer water and fewer crowds.

“Enjoyed the tour, good small group with a chill and friendly guide to see the coastline and explore some caves. Took great photos which was so nice. I get claustrophobic and forgot to take something for seasickness but was OK. I’d recommend being fairly confident on the water and in a kayak if participating. Make sure you give yourself enough time to find a parking spot before the tour as it gets very busy.”

Francisco and Egas are among the guides, and kayaks, wetsuits, drybags, insurance, and 4K GoPro photos are included.

“We had a fantastic time on our tour with Francisco. He was super fun and friendly, while also providing a fantastic and educational experience about the history of the area, the geology, and the things that make Benagil and the Algarve so special. We don’t have a single complaint — the tour was well run, the kayaking was exciting (in spite, or maybe because of, the choppy seas), and we made great memories. Highest recommendation for Brotherootz!”
