About this activity

Vilamoura: Private 3-Hour Benagil Cave Boat Tour searches a wide area of open sea rather than following one fixed route, which is how sightings happen. It leaves from Vilamoura area, so you are close to the marina and the flat coast towards Quarteira before anything starts. There are morning and afternoon departures, so it slots around the rest of a day. It uses a small boat, so it can go into the narrower gaps in the rock. Prices start at €632.3 per person, and we list every seller carrying it side by side so you can see who is cheapest today.

Common and bottlenose dolphins live off this coast year round, and the boats that look for them work a wide search area rather than a fixed route.

The activity itself runs for about 3 hours, and you should allow roughly 3 hours 5 minutes in total once travel to and from the meeting point is counted. You meet at Vilamoura area. It is run in English and Portuguese.

It suits families, couples, groups. The pace is demanding, so a reasonable level of fitness helps. Minimum age is 4. It is weather dependent, so book early in your trip and you will have days spare if the sea gets up.

Flexible. Daytime departures; 2.5 hours.
