I Love Sup is a water-sports operator based in Lagoa, Faro, specializing in guided stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayak experiences around the Benagil coast. The company offers a 2-hour Benagil Sup tour that explores the region's dramatic cliffs and sea caves, including the iconic Algar de Benagil. That SUP experience is led by a certified instructor who teaches essential paddling techniques and guides paddlers to coastal caves and hidden sea-accessible spots.
In addition to the SUP tour, I Love Sup runs guided Benagil Kayak trips that take participants through crystal-clear waters to see the Benagil caves up close. For visitors seeking flexibility, the Benagil: Aluguer de Kayak por 1:30 hora com estacionamento privativo option provides a 1.5-hour kayak rental with private parking and launch from a less-crowded beach. All trip descriptions emphasize sea-based access to caves, scenic cliff views, and hands-on paddling. Operating from Lagoa, Faro, the business focuses on safe, guided departures to the Benagil area and nearby coastal features. Information on trips specifies durations, instruction for SUP, and the availability of private parking for the 1.5-hour kayak rental. Prospective guests can expect guided exploration of Algar de Benagil, opportunities for close-up cave viewing, and access to secluded coastal sites reachable only by water.
The offerings focus on sea-based access to natural formations along the Algarve coast, with guided routes designed to reach caves and sheltered beaches not reachable from land. Trip options suit visitors wanting active exploration by stand-up paddleboard or single/double kayaks during short excursions from Lagoa.
