5Benagil cave
We had a great day guides were informative scenery was fantastic most scenic part from Portomiao to Praia Marinha
5Great cave tour
Great tour with all the beautiful caves. Good that the boat was small enough to enter the smaller caves.
5Fun speed boat to Benagil Caves!
Fun boat ride to see the Benagil Cave! It was a great way to experience the coastline and see the cave from the water. The guides were friendly and informative, and we enjoyed learning more about the area along the way. The seats weren’t the most comfortable, especially for a longer ride, but the speedboat made the trip back nice and quick. We think it would be especially fun for kids who enjoy a little adventure and excitement on the water!nOverall, a fun experience and a great way to see the Benagil Cave. ⛵️🌊

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.
