1.Small Group Kayak Experience In Benagil Cave with 4K Photos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,468 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $48Our pick

Paddle from Carvalho Beach toward Benagil Cave with a guide such as Patrick, Simon, or Pancho, entering sea caves and visiting quiet coves along the Algarve coast. Groups are limited to 12 on the water, with kayaks, life jackets, dry bags, back support, insurance, and free photos included. Sunrise departures offer calmer water and fewer boats.

“One of the most fun things we did on our Portugal trip! Our guide, Simao, was very engaging with all of us as a group and individually. And we have great pictures as memories of this fun tour. Take this tour vs any others out there as you will start at a less crowded beach and the guides are aware of the traffic flow in all the caves.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 477 reviews · 2 hours · from $58

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!”

“An amazing experience to see these caves. Simao had great knowledge of the area as he's a local. He was easy going and happy to guide our group of 8 (dual kayaks). Even though it was hard to get up before sunset, the caves made up for it in all their glory. Its a must see up close and personal. What made it worth it is, there was far less people and no waves from the speed boat so early in the morning. I also felt that Simao took his time to take our photos for each kayak. He said he was making memories and that he did. Some caves…”

“José is the best! I had so much fun during our morning together - it was truly one of my favorite parts of my trip. In addition to having some lovely photos to remember my trip - hard to come by when traveling solo! - I learned a lot about the city and country and their histories and current day from José (who answered any and all questions I had...even things seemingly random). José was really great about communicating in advance of my tour, came up with a creative solution when the weather did not want to cooperate, and was a pleasure to spend the morning with. Highly recommend if…”

Guides such as Miguel, Simão, Caio, Francisco, and Pedro explain the geology, help with the kayaks, and take 4K photos and videos for you.

“The BrotheRootz SUP tour has been a highlight of my 6 week euro trip and was an epic way to start the day! The tour is unique as it starts from Carvalho Beach, a magical and secluded little spot so early in the morning, away from the crowds at Benagil Beach. Our tour guide, Caio, was super lovely and knowledgeable, and is (conveniently) an archeologist. I learned that Benagil is incorrectly labelled a ‘cave’, when it is in fact an ‘algar’ - fun rock facts! Benagil was beautiful and Caio got some great “IG worthy” photos of me on his GoPro and my phone. I’ve already recommended BrotheRootz to my…”

Also, we were picked up straight from our Air b&b which was super helpful, and asked where we would like to be dropped off so we got a lift to the next sight we planned on visiting :) THANK YOU!”
