3.1:30Hour Kayak Rental with Private Parking

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 49 reviews · from $34Cheapest

Kayak to Benagil Cave from a quiet beach with private parking, Marinha’s Arches, swimming, and small groups for $34.

“This was an excellent tour. Paolo was a great tour guide and explained all of the key areas that we encountered. Obviously the traffic jam to get in to the Benagil Cave was outside of their hands but is something that the local authorities should look into because it can be risk to injury if not properly managed. Overall, I would recommend this activity to my friends and family. Thoroughly enjoyed it.”

Review of Madeira’s private Funchal boat tour, with Cabo Girão views, swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, wine, fruit, and personal service.

“We had an incredible day on the sea with Kristina and Fabio! They were absolutely wonderful! They made the day perfect from start to finish! They showed us magnificent views along the coast that were unforgettable! They also took us to an amazing swimming spot where we were able to swim, snorkel, and relax! Our young children (4 and 7 years old) had so much fun and we felt so safe at sea with them. An absolutely unforgettable experience overall. I highly recommend this boat trip! We will absolutely be booking another trip with Cristal Sea the next time we’re in Madeira!!”
