Description

The Benagil cave is recognized worldwide for its uniqueness. Praia da Marinha is considered one of the 10 most beautiful in Europe, and one of the 100 most beautiful in the world by the Michelin Guide. Embark on this journey with us and discover why!

We depart from Portimão and sail along the east coast where you will see spectacular rock formations carved by erosion over the centuries, such as arches, caves and sinkholes. Depending on the tide level, we can enter many of them with our speedboat, always in maximum safety!

Count on a friendly, well-disposed and experienced family team, as well as some well-kept secrets that our guide will reveal to you.

For bird lovers, you can observe several marine species, such as the “crested cormorant” (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) and the “peregrine falcon” (Falco peregrinus).

During the summer months, and if favourable sea and weather conditions are met, we take a break off Praia da Marinha for those who want to swim in the calm, crystalline waters. You will delight yourself with the cliffs of golden tones and the blue of the sea while drinking something fresh and tasting seasonal fruits.

Do you want to enjoy this experience in a more intimate setting? Book the tour as PRIVATE. Limited to a maximum of 14 people. Includes a bottle of champagne and snacks.

Whether winter or summer, get ready to observe these charms of nature up close and for breathtaking views!
