Overview

The Benagil Caves are worldwide known and definitely a must see for those who come to Algarve. The famous Algar de Benagil has been rated as one of the Top 10 best caves in the world! We visit all the caves in Portimão, Carvoeiro, Benagil and Praia da Marinha. There are lots of colourful caves along the coast that give value to the trip, most of them hidden and totally natural that are definitely stunning, beautiful, paradisic views.

As we use a small and low boat that takes a small group, it is possible to get inside all the caves and visit them from the inside, where their natural beauty is. You get to take better pictures and get a closer look at all these beautiful caves!

Algar de Benagil

Considered one of the most beautiful caves in the world, this unique cave is a must see for those who come to Algarve. It's bright colours due to the opening at the top where sunlight passes through creates the perfect place for photography lovers. It is a tourist attraction and the best way to visit it is by boat because it's the most secure, comfortable way and you get to visit other caves that are very beautiful but not as famous as this cave.
