Benagil Cave 1 Hour Express Kayak tour SMALL GROUPS
Overview
This unique adventure lets you explore both small and large coastal caves—places only accessible by kayak. Our kayaks are nimble enough to navigate areas where larger boats can't go, especially in iconic spots like the Benagil Cave and Pirates Cave. Plus, motor boats are not allowed to stop or let passengers exit in these caves, making the kayak experience even more exclusive.
Our tours are eco‑friendly: we use non‑motorized kayaks that leave no pollution behind.
Your safety is our top priority. Professional guides accompany every tour to assist you throughout the journey.
Please note that while we will make a few stops along the way, a reasonable physical fitness level is required to participate.
