Sétima Onda Boat Trips
Discover hidden sea caves and secluded beaches with a kayak tour along Portugal's Algarve coast. Perfect for all skill levels, this adventure offers breathtaking scenery and memorable wildlife sightings.
Sétima Onda Boat Trips operates from Armação de Pêra in Faro, offering guided boat, kayak and jet-ski experiences along the Algarve coast. 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. Private options are available in multiple durations — for example one‑hour, one‑and‑a‑half‑hour and two‑hour private Benagil tours — allowing groups to choose tailored itineraries. Longer exclusive trips include deep‑sea stops, secluded wild beaches and swimming opportunities in clear Algarve waters.
Sétima Onda also offers shorter shared tours and adrenaline options such as jet‑ski rentals in varying durations and guided kayak routes to access spots only reachable by paddle. Booking is suitable for families, couples and small groups seeking coastal photography, cave exploration or a private coastal experience. The operator’s local knowledge ensures efficient routes to iconic sites while avoiding crowded paths when possible.
Visitors can select a trip length and format that matches their priorities — whether a quick Benagil Classic, a relaxed sunset cruise, or a fully private exploration — with flexible choices from the Armação de Pêra departure point. Reservations can be booked in advance to secure preferred departure times and private availability during peak seasonal period.
