Overview
If you want to enjoy a private and more intimate experience this is your best choice. This tour is made for those who would like to go along with a guide and have a more personalized adventure in these beautiful caves.
Our journey will start at the magnificent Carvalho beach. A small beach totally surrounded and protected by its limestone cliffs where the access is through a tunnel.
From there we will show you the most breathtaking caves, “algars” and natural formations always with one of our guides taking the lead, making sure that everybody is safe and having the most fun. The duration of our expedition is aprox. 2 hours and 30 minutes, where we gonna have time to rest/photos at the most famous cave of Portugal, the “Algar” of Benagil.
