Ocean4Fun is a Portimão-based activity operator offering sea-based excursions along the Algarve coast. Specializing in guided kayak tours, catamaran cruises, and semi-rigid boat trips, Ocean4Fun operates departures to the Benagil Caves and nearby highlights such as Praia da Marinha.
Trips range from a 1.5-hour beach-launched kayak exploration of Benagil to 2–2.5 hour guided journeys that combine kayaking and high-speed boat transfers. The fleet includes catamaran cruises—both family group tours and private charters—and a semi-rigid RIB for direct access to coastal grottos.
Safety is emphasized: experienced local guides lead small groups, provide equipment and instruction, and adapt itineraries based on sea and weather conditions. Tours are suitable for families (the family catamaran welcomes all ages) and for younger participants who meet minimum age requirements, with one kayak option recommended for ages 10 and up. Ocean4Fun departs from Portimão in the Faro district, making it accessible to visitors staying across the central Algarve.
Booking options include public group tours and private charters for events or customized sightseeing. The operation focuses on showcasing natural attractions—Benagil Cave, Praia da Marinha, and coastal grottoes—while offering opportunities to swim, photograph, and learn about local marine scenery. Equipment such as life jackets and paddles are supplied, and guides brief participants on safety procedures before departure; reservations are recommended during high season to secure preferred dates and times and meeting local guidelines.
