What people are saying about Benagil

The trip was really nice. Our guide Raphael was super cool, telling us jokes and interesting fun facts during the entire trip. The only negative part about this tour is that you can't get off at the Benagil caves, but it does make sense because of the strong waves at time. If you desire to do so, renting a kayak there might be a better idea for you. However, the boat tour takes you to a lot of things from Portimao to the Benagil caves, things fhat you probably won't have time to see by kayak. Also, for me the guide itself made the tour directly worth it. I would recommend for sure!

This trip is truly a once in a lifetime experience. If you are in the area, please take the time to experience the Benagil caves. This your company is fantastic. They share so much information with you ahead of the tour that you come fully prepared to enjoy your adventure. The tour guides, the boat staff and captain are all super friendly and nice. Highly recommend it.

A fantastic experience any time of the year. We went in mid January so the cave wasn't so busy. Eduard, our guide, spoke perfect English and the location is really close to the beach. We would highly recommend Benagil Kayaks!

A really fun trip! We did not see any dolphins, but the caves were impressive!

Amazing! The crew made us feel safe and we’re really welcoming
