Highlights

Hop aboard a speed boat at Lagos Marina and cruise along the stunning coastline of the Algarve on a fast-paced adventure to the famous Benagil Caves. As you glide across the Atlantic, enjoy front-row views of dramatic cliffs, hidden beaches, and breathtaking sea stacks. Along the way, your local guide will provide live commentary, sharing fascinating facts and legends about the rock formations and the history of the area. Visit the iconic Benagil Cave, known for its massive dome and circular skylight, and explore other hidden grottos and pirate hideouts along the coast. Each trip is shaped by the tides and sea conditions, making every experience unique and spontaneous. Enjoy the top-tier safety gear, and the thrill of a smaller, more agile boat that can reach areas larger vessels can't access — all while feeling the sea breeze and the excitement of adventure. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or a nature lover, this tour delivers unforgettable coastal moments from start to finish.

  • 5Great experience

    A lot is packed into this boat trip. I enjoyed riding on the RIB. It made the adventure more fun. Thought we could navigate smaller spaces and also provided an exciting ride for those who chose to ride in front.

  • 5Sppedboat- Benagil

    Speed boat was alot of fun! The team was amazing! The benagil cave was closed for safety by the authorities but the captain went out and provided a coastal tour. It was amazing... boat and fun and views were gorgeous.... AND the best part!!!! While we were out on the boat and authorities approved access to the cave. So we went in! We were so lucky. It was awesome tour and a big thank you to the captain who was still willing to take us out and provide a tour Benagil or not!

About Lagos

Lagos is a walled Algarve port with golden sea cliffs, sheltered coves, a gilded baroque church and a history of Portuguese navigators.

Lagos lies on the western Algarve coast, where the River Bensafrim meets the Atlantic. Its old town is enclosed by 16th-century walls and has narrow lanes, whitewashed houses and the small Santo António church, whose interior is a mass of gilded baroque carving. Explorers sailed from the harbour in the 15th century in the age of Henry the Navigator, and a statue of the prince stands in the square. The former Slave Market recalls a dark chapter of the Age of Discovery.
