Coastline and Benagil Caves Tour by Catamaran

Portimao: Benagil Caves & Golden Coast Eco Catamaran Tour follows the shoreline past beaches and rock formations that look very different from the sea. It leaves from Portimao area, so you are close to the Arade river mouth and Praia da Rocha before anything starts. It runs at sunset, which is the best light of the day for photographs. The boat is a catamaran, which is the steadier option if anyone in the party is unsure at sea. Prices start at €27.59 per person, and we list every seller carrying it side by side so you can see who is cheapest today.

This coastline is best seen from the water. The cliffs, arches and sea caves are cut into soft golden limestone, and most of them cannot be reached on foot.

The activity itself runs for about 3 hours, and you should allow roughly 3 hours 10 minutes in total once travel to and from the meeting point is counted. You meet at Albufeira area. It is run in English and Portuguese.

It suits families, couples, low mobility. The pace is easy and there is nothing physical to worry about. It is weather dependent, so book early in your trip and you will have days spare if the sea gets up.

Flexible. Daytime departures (check availability).
