The company runs a variety of tours including short Benagil Cave excursions, extended private trips, sunrise and sunset cruises, kayak adventures and jet-ski rides. Trips depart from Armação de Pêra Beach and visit well-known natural landmarks such as Benagil Cave, Alfanzina Lighthouse, Marinha Beach and other coastal caves and beaches. Each experience is led by local captains who navigate to sea caves, hidden coves and scenic viewpoints while prioritizing guest safety and comfort.
