What To Expect
Enter the famous Benagil cave and witness one of the most emblematic beaches in Portugal, Praia da Marinha!
We depart from Parchal, Lagoa and sail along the east coast where you will see spectacular rock formations sculpted by erosion over the centuries, such as arches, caves and sinkholes. Depending on the tide level, we can enter many of them with our boat, always in maximum safety!
Expect a small group, family atmosphere, a friendly and knowledgeable crew, and a multilingual guide who will discuss the region's culture, geology, and marine ecosystem throughout the tour.
For bird lovers, you can observe several marine species, such as the “Great Cormorant” (*Phalacrocorax aristotelis*) and the “Peregrine Falcon” (*Falco peregrinus*).
Before returning to the Lagoon and if the sea and weather conditions are favorable, we take a break to swim off the coast of a calm bay.
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 come find out why!
