Benagil cruise with lunch, open bar and water activities

4.6/5
386 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.

    Trip was quite pricey for just over four hours! Disappointed we didn’t get to see the famous cave in the experience picture! Lovely lunch

    The cruise was very enjoyable and staff brilliant. The only negative was that the transport pick up was in a confusing place, as a bus appeared at the allocated time but was not for us. Concerned that we were going to be late, we called an uber, and just as we got in, our transport arrived, so we had to jump out of the uber into the transport, which then collected 3 people from the hotel entrance next door! That would have been a better pick up point for us than a bus stop.
