Benagil cruise with lunch, open bar and water activities

4.5/5
502 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.

    Ophélia est un superbe yatch blanc avec des vitres fumées noires et 1 étage. Il est très confortable avec des tables, des chaises, des banquettes et des toilettes. Le bateau longe les falaises et pénètre dans des grottes dont le plafond effondré laissent voir le ciel. Des rameurs dans leurs kayaks colorés et toutes sortes de bateaux créent une sorte de ballet sur les vagues ... Au retour repas et boissons servis en mer et baignade avant de regagner tranquillement le port. Inoubliable !

    Very well organised. My wife uses a walking stick and the staff were very helpful by carrying her food back to her table.
