Days of Adventure is a licensed tour operator based in Lagos and Faro, specializing in coastal experiences around the Algarve. The company curates a wide range of small-group and private sea tours including catamaran cruises to the iconic Benagil Cave, the Fun & Chill Golden Coast sailing tour, dolphin-watching catamaran trips, high-speed cave tours at Ponta da Piedade, dual dolphin-and-Benagil adventures, guided kayak tours, and private RIB outings.
Most departures originate from Lagos Marina with local crews and guides who provide live commentary, safety briefings, and expert navigation shaped by tidal conditions. Vessels are purpose-built for each activity: spacious family-friendly catamarans with forward-viewing platforms for photography and swimming stops; specially designed RIBs for high-speed exploration of Benagil and nearby beaches; support catamarans that carry kayaks and allow swimming directly from the boat; and an electric private boat option for quieter, two-hour cruises that include a swim and a glass of champagne.
Specific trip formats include a 1.5-hour dolphin-watching catamaran with a reported 95% sighting rate, a 1 hour 15 minute Ponta da Piedade speedboat cave tour, a 2.5-hour combined dolphin and Benagil excursion, and a two-hour Benagil private RIB tour. Activities available across itineraries include swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, guided kayaking instruction, and opportunities to explore hidden grottoes.
Days of Adventure serves families, couples, and nature enthusiasts seeking guided, well-equipped outings along the Algarve’s cliffs, caves, and beaches, with a focus on safety and local knowledge. Bookings operate seasonally and most tours return to Lagos Marina throughout the year for visitors.
