André Matos Boat Trips is a Lagoa, Faro District operator specializing in small-group and private sea excursions to the Algarve’s most photographed coastal features. They run guided 2-hour boat trips that explore roughly 20 caves, departing from Portimão Naval Club and finishing at the Benagil Cave. Kayak tours and kayak rentals launch from Benagil beach, offering both guided and independent paddling options.
Kayak tours are guided two-hour excursions led by experienced local guides who navigate hidden sea caves and coastal formations, with a highlight stop inside Benagil Cave for photos. Kayak rentals begin at Benagil beach after a safety briefing and basic navigation tips, allowing paddlers to explore Benagil Cave and Marinha Beach at their own pace.
Operations provide clear trip options including private boat charters and open shared departures to suit families, couples, and individual travelers. Practical details include consistent two-hour trip lengths for boats and guided kayak tours, launch points at Portimão Naval Club for boats and Benagil beach for kayaks, and flexible kayak rental for self-guided paddling. Reservations are available seasonally and can accommodate small groups, families, and individual travelers year-round with advance notice.
