• 5The Absolute Best

  A perfect experience. Excellent driving by Renan and professional interpretation by Pina. We were so lucky as the seas were calm, and the sky was partly cloudy, which gave us a pleasant cool atmosphere. Loved the tour!

• 5Great boat trip in the Algarve caves

  We had a great experience with Pina and Fabio as our captains and guides. They took us into many caves in which they described the interesting features. Pina took videos and photos for us, highlighting the most interesting angles. He also did a photo shoot in the most famous cave, Benagil. They also pointed out landmarks along the shore. I cannot imagine a better tour to see the caves of the Algarve!

About Portimão

Portimão is a river port and fishing town on the western Algarve, with sardine grills by the quay and the sandy bays and red cliffs of Praia da Rocha.

Portimão sits at the mouth of the Arade River, and its long history of fishing and fish canning shaped the town. The old cannery now houses the town's museum, which records that trade, and the riverfront quay has rows of grills where sardines are cooked in the open air. Across the water is Ferragudo, a village of white houses with the Santa Catarina fortress at the river mouth.

Top-ranked sights in Portimão: Museu de Portimao, Autódromo Internacional do Algarve.
