1.Benagil Caves Guided Kayak Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 625 reviews Our pick

Kayak from Benagil Beach to Algarve caves, arches, and quiet beaches in 1.5 hours, with guides, safety gear, dry bags, and flexible booking.

“*THIS IS NOT A SELF-GUIDED KAYAK RENTAL - IT IS A KAYAK TOUR WITH A GUIDE* I am not giving 5 stars because we were expecting a kayak rental as advertised, but it was a group kayak tour with a guide. We were initially upset by the false advertising, but the tour was excellent and I think we were actually happier in the end having a guide to show us the really cool spots.

Kayak from Albandeira to Benagil and Marinha with a local guide, small groups, caves, cliffs, snacks, and practical tips for this Algarve tour.

“Every part of this trip was amazing. D, our guide, shared his knowledge of the coastline and his love of this area is evident. We came for the Benagil cave, but were in awe with our experiences in other caves where we could beach our kayaks and explore. The only disappointing aspect of this trip was the number of boats competing for space along with the kayaks and the gong show that occurred at the entrance to the Benagil Cave.
