This is a great experience but you need to be relatively fit to do it. We kayaked over 2 miles stoping just over half way for a rest and drink. The staff were great, they delivered an informative induction and provided us with excellent equipment. The trip last over 2 hours and everyone enjoyed the experience

We have minimal kayak experience but had an amazing experience. We had a fairly small group so were able to go into many caves and we had great instruction from Sudip and Mike. A trip we will never forget!

No messing about, straight to the point instruction. Very cool caves and arches to paddle through.

Andrew_H, Oct 2024

No messing about, straight to the point instruction. Very cool caves and arches to paddle through. Kayaks could do with seats as very uncomfortable for that long without.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the seats—comfort is important, and we'll definitely consider this for future improvements. We hope to see you again for another adventure!

Kayaking in Bengil Caves

Taryn_B, Aug 2024

The crew that guided us on the trip were fantastic, sadly we didn’t disembark in the caves, I purposely booked the trip before the 14/08/24 as I knew after that you were no longer be able to. Shame the lady that worked at the ticket office was miserable and very unhelpful and just stood around scoffing cake!

Kayaking fun in the Algarve

Gary_M, Jul 2024

The whole experience was well run and good fun. The kayaking was long enough to feel like you has a good workout. Miguel and his colleagues were professional but fun and spoke excellent English. Well worth the money.

Kayak Fun

Sheila_F, Oct 2023

Floating off the boat, beach time, stunning coastline. Good information. Guide and captain friendly. Great experience. One criticism.. The water bottles were so small... Definately needed more as so hot!! Saw some large jellyfish which was a first.

Not as advertised.

Denise_K, Oct 2023

This was my first time Kayaking, I am a very sporty person and was disappointed at the lack of time in the Kayak and only seeing one tiny cave, if I wanted to swim in the sea and lay about on the beach I could have done that for free.

Good tour

George_W, Sep 2023

Well organised tour. Everything ran like clockwork from beginning to end. Friendly and helpful staff.

Kayaking and swimming!

Amy_C, Jun 2023

Wonderful to be on the glittering blue Atlantic in a kayak. Much better than all the stupid gas guzzling, poluting, and loud motor boats everywhere. We git to swim at a secluded beach. There might be a scam with the dude who takes photos, with a promise to send later via WeChat for 10 euro. But he was nice about it. And maybe the photos will show up!

Do not take this tour. Other options are better.

victor_m, Aug 2022

Terrible experience. Not what we expected. The structure is not designed for people that can get tired or can´t keep-up for any reason. The boat that goes with the group is not able to tow kayaks in case someone need help. Do not recommend. Other tours are better. We did not see the caves at all and I was more worried in keeping-up than enjoying the view.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Hi Victor We Remember you perfectly , as right from the start you stated you had no interest in Kayaking and you where surprised you and your wife had to paddle , you treated the guide like he was your servente ,instructed you wife not to paddle , he towed you several times but obviously could not tow you all the time , the tour is for kayaking . This tour was not for you , but you are the only one to blame . Kindest regards

Excellent

Deividas_S, Aug 2022

Great experience, defo recommend and well worth the time. Bring a waterproof phone sleeve to take pictures.

Great value for money

Peter_K, Jul 2022

Andrea_J, Jun 2022

Tracey_M, Aug 2021
