Discover the Algarve coast on a safe and unforgettable kayak tour, starting with a relaxing catamaran cruise from Albufeira Marina to the Benagil area. From there, join two experienced guides as you paddle through stunning caves, cliffs, and hidden beaches between Benagil and the iconic Marina Beach. This tour is designed with your comfort and safety in mind — a support boat stays close throughout the kayaking route, and the catamaran picks you up at the end, so there’s no need to paddle back. Unlike most kayak tours that depart from the beach, you don’t have to return by kayak, which often makes the experience more tiring and less enjoyable. This makes the experience much easier and more relaxing, especially for those with little or no kayak experience. If sea conditions allow, we’ll stop at a secret beach for a swim and enjoy another refreshing dip from the catamaran before cruising back to the marina.

The only way to reach the Benagil caves is by sea; whether you take a boat, kayak, or paddle there. On this half-day adventure, venture to the caves by boat from the Albufeira Marina.
