Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey along the Algarve coast, starting at the Portimão pier. After a short but essential safety briefing, hop aboard a RIB boat and set out to discover the region’s stunning coastal landscapes.
The adventure continues as you approach the Algarve’s dramatic cliffs and sea caves. Each formation tells a story, with natural arches and hidden chambers waiting to be explored.
The highlight of your trip is the breathtaking Benagil Caves—a hidden gem only accessible by sea. Marvel at the natural skylight filtering sunbeams into the cave, illuminating the golden sand below and creating an almost magical atmosphere. The echoes and whispers of the sea amplify the sense of wonder.
To complete your experience, head to arguably the best restaurant in the region, Allgarbe restaurant, where a delicious fish curry and one drink await you—included in the price. Savor local flavors as you relax and reflect on a day full of adventure and unforgettable memories.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Portimão: Benagil Full Caves + Meal @ Allgarbe, a Local Gem?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
