Meet Vitor and the Benagil Eco Tours team at a family farm with free private parking and rescued animals. After a 430-meter walk to a quiet beach, guides such as Alan, Pedro, Daniel, or Gustavo lead you by kayak through Benagil Cave, narrow sea caves, and secluded coves. Small groups, safety gear, and 4K photos are included.

“We enjoyed the Kayaking Tour a lot! Even before the tour started the guides spent some time to give us a short introduction in the history of the surrounding. On the tour itself we felt save and relaxed all the time, due to the fact that they always limit the group size. The guide gave us some information about the different caves and showed us some really nice spots - our highlight was Captains Cave. We highly recommend the Ecotours Team and their tours: sympathetic guys, no mass tourism and beautiful landscapes!”

“Our tour was perfect! Alejandro ensured we visited the most scenic spots during our tour to get the most beautiful photographs from our night. Using his local knowledge combined with the forecasts he was able to provide us with fantastic views of the spectacle all night long. He varied our locations so we had fjord views followed by mountains and ensured we always stayed away from other tours so we had the locations to ourselves. Alejandro also helped set up our cameras so we maximised our chances of capturing the lights. Hot drinks and biscuits were also provided as well as thermal suits and a comfort/toilet break half way through.”
