Overview

Sunrise slot is the best overall to do a caves tour of the day, the caves are deserted and you will feel it and enjoy a special atmosphere with this tour together with a memorable experience with our highly skilled and reputable crew members. A must do Benagil Caves Tour, most times you will find the best sea conditions of the day.
See many dramatic caves and cliffs as you travel along the coast.

Keep a lookout, as dolphins can often be seen navigating the waters here. If they are spotted and are less than 3 miles away, the boat will head in their direction so you can get a closer look at these playful mammals.

Then, head inside the famous Benagil Caves, which are only reachable by boat. Marvel at the naturally-formed holes at the top, which let the sunlight filter down to the sandy beach below in a beautiful display.

Allocation of reserves is automatic.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Sunrise Benagil Full Caves Tour?

    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
