Description
Depart from Vilamoura Marina and cruise west along the Algarve’s coastline on a boat designed specifically to enter selected sea caves safely when conditions permit. Unlike larger boats that only pass cave entrances, this vessel allows you to experience caves from inside, including the iconic Benagil Cave with its dome, natural skylight, and unique rock formations.
Each guest is assigned a guaranteed individual seat, providing a comfortable and organised trip without standing or crowding. Your experienced skipper will guide you past golden cliffs, hidden beaches, natural arches, rock formations, and smaller caves while sharing local knowledge and selecting the safest spots based on sea conditions.
The tour also includes watching for wild dolphins along the coast. While dolphin sightings are not guaranteed—since they are wild animals—the region regularly hosts common and bottlenose dolphins.
Between November and February, or depending on weather and operational needs, the tour may operate on one of the company’s smaller speed boats.
