Benagil cruise with lunch, open bar and water activities

4.6/5
363 reviews

The Algarve coastline is in a class of its own. On this boat trip aboard the Ophelia, you'll spot its most secluded beaches, eye-catching rock formations and fishing villages. Highlights include Ferragudo castle, Carvoeiro lighthouse and the iconic Benagil Cave. And to round things off, there's lunch on board with an open bar and fun water activities, too.

You'll sail out of Portimão on this spacious two-deck catamaran and head eastwards. Pass a fantastical landscape of grottoes and strangely shaped rock formations that have been sculpted by the seas and winds over thousands of years. See the tiered 16th century Ferragudo castle – which cascades down into the sea – and the steep cliffs crowned by Carvoeiro lighthouse as well as the pockmarked rocks of Algar Seco.

And for the blockbuster Benagil Cave, you'll get up close to admire this natural wonder – an open-domed cave that's become one of Portugal's most iconic spots. Back on board, relax and soak up the sunshine and scenery, or have some fun in the water with paddle boards and inflatables. Enjoy a light lunch on deck with drinks from the open bar. It's the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure for couples, families or groups of friends.

    Nous avons apprécié cette sortie c'est très agréable. Hélas, la durée de la baignade et du paddle etait un peu courte. Par ailleurs le descriptif de la l'hôtel ne correspondait pas. Il précisait sortie avec petit bateau pour approcher des grottes et nous ne l'avons pas eu.

    Ruwe zee .. veel zieken aan boord.... ook in onze groep. Benagil gat was niet te zien ... boot is te groot. Eten was uitstekend ! Mooie kustlijn. Zwemmen was leuk. Wel een eind rijden van Olhos d' agua naar Portimao.

    De toilet deur kon niet dicht dus er moest iemand voor de deur staan mensen konden via een raampje het toilet in kijken. De gids vertelde iets maar was nauwelijks verstaanbaar over de speakers. Je kon na de lunch gelijk zwemmen dit heb ik niet gedaan omdat je altijd moet wachten met zwemmen minimaal een half uur omdat dit slecht is voor je als je net gegeten heb

    Voyage en mer sympa mais déçu de ne pas avoir mangé sur la plage comme on nous l'avait vendu à l'hôtel en le sachant nous nous serions dirigés vers une autre excursions grotte de Benagil +les dauphins par exemple. Dommage
