Overview

Meet at the Portimão pier and prepare for an unforgettable Private adventure. After a brief and important safety briefing, board the agile RIB boat, ready to explore the wonders of the Algarve coast.

As the boat sails along, you will be treated to spectacular views of the Fort of Santa Catarina, an imposing coastal sentinel, and the castle of Ferragudo, which seems to emerge from a fairytale setting. Along the way, a picturesque fishing village completes the idyllic picture, offering an authentic glimpse of traditional seaside life.

The highlight of your adventure is the iconic Benagil Caves, a true natural treasure accessible only by sea. Admire the impressive openings at the top of the caves, through which the sun’s rays penetrate, illuminating the golden sand beach with a heavenly light.

We inform our customers that our life jackets are automatic, purposely and improperly bursting them will incur an additional cost of €70 per life jacket, paid at the boarding point

    Q: Will I get seasick on Portimão Private Boat Tour Caves Circuit and Coast Sightseeing?

    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
