From Lagos: Kayak Tour of Ponta da Piedade Caves by Boat

Jennie_V, Oct 2026

Fantastic guide, very...

Fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, professional and upbeat! Unfortunately included a lot less kayaking than expected but it could’ve been due to water conditions/experience of other group members, etc..I’m not really sure and don’t think that should cause a lower review, just included to manage expectations. His goal was to keep us safe, and there was never a moment of doubt about his expertise. Also, the slide was super fun!

Wonderful experience! Our...

Wonderful experience! Our guide did a great job educating and guiding the group. He obviously cares a great deal about the beautiful coastline of Portugal, and it showed. He gave us plenty of time for pictures in each cave. The experience did not feel rushed at all.

Grottos of Ponta da Piedade. Best tour yet!

You know how the hype doesn’t always match the reality. Not in this case! The water is as blue as the pictures. The caves as amazing and the coast as stunningly beautiful. Our guides were entertaining and knowledgeable. Take a smaller boat so that you can get right into the caves it’s magical.

Fun fast boat tour and great scenery!

Great fast boat experience while viewing the fantastic caves, cliffs and other scenery along the way. Young driver had a great sense of humour too making the tour even more enjoyable. Seating was compact but comfortable. Thought we might get wet but only a touch of seaspray! Would highly recommend.

Albufeira: Benagil Caves and Coastline Cruise

Take the upgrade on the Benagil Caves cruise

My husband and I took the morning cruise to the Benagil Caves and had a beautiful time. We took the upgrade to the upper deck and there were only 6 other people up there. We were able to see the view much better from up there and conversed with the captain and tour guide. We also were offered a glass of champagne on the way back! Definitely take the upgrade on this cruise! It’s so worth it.

Karin_C, Sept 2026

Love the Kayaks at Praia do Castelo!

Ocean kayaking requires a bit more work/exertion but fun going through some of the cave passageways with the waves. Best with 2 strong rowers! Guides were AMAZING! Great experience & stunning beaches especially the launch point at 9 am from Praia do Castelo...Stay afterwards & have lunch at CASTELO BEACH CLUB which has stunning view & a beautiful place to bask in the sun under palapa umbrellas! Enjoy!

Such an amazing start to our honeymoon! Captain John was excellent and we had such a fun relaxing boat tour. He was very knowledgeable about the history and geography and gave us good recommendations for our stay in Lagos! As it was a smaller boat we were able to go deeper into the caves than we would have been able to on a large cruise. It was the best 2 hours!

Boat trip to the caves of Benagil

A Fantastic Experience from Start to Finish

I booked this trip for my daughter, her boyfriend and me while they were visiting me here in Portugal, and we all absolutely loved it. Everything was so well organised from start to finish. From the moment our names were called and we were shown to the boat, everything ran smoothly and we felt completely looked after throughout the whole experience. Inês and Hugo were our crew and really helped to make the trip special. They were both so friendly, welcoming and attentive, while also making it very clear that we were in experienced and capable hands. They shared information along the way and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. It was quite windy on the day we went, so Hugo explained that he wasn’t able to do some of the side turns and manoeuvres that he would normally include. It honestly didn’t take anything away from the experience though. The boat ride itself was great fun and the coastline and caves were absolutely stunning. Seeing them from the water is something completely different and definitely something I’ll remember. I live in Portugal and had wanted to take my daughter and her boyfriend somewhere special while they were visiting, and this was such a good choice. We all came away saying how much we had enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lagos. It really is one of those experiences that’s worth doing and one to remember. Thank you, Inês and Hugo, for making our trip such an enjoyable one! ❤️

2-Hour Kayak through the Sea Caves of Benagil

Excellent trip with Benagil Kayaks

Excellent experience with Benagil Kayaks. David our guide was brilliant and very informative throughout. We were a small group of only 3 kayaks which was brilliant as we moved quickly between caves and beaches not having to wait on multiple other kayaks. Luckily we were there during low tide so were able to enter Pirate's cave and get onto the beach (not possible at high tide). Parking in the area is pretty crazy, we booked the 10am trip and were able to get a space in the large paid carpark nearby. When we returned to the beach at 12pm it was an awful lot busier. Would recommend an early morning trip, especially with children. Highly recommend booking with Benagil Kayaks.
