Our kayak tour through the Benagil Caves was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal! The beauty of the coastline was absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear water, dramatic rock formations, hidden beaches, and caves that looked like something out of a postcard. Paddling into the famous Benagil Cave was an unforgettable experience and even more stunning in person. Thank you Arthur from FollowTours. You where amazing ing…

A small-group trip across a portion of the beautiful algarve coast to kayak into Benagil cave as well as the other caves nearby, a highlight for me was cliff jumping at Algar Seco, and exploring the intricate cave system with its fauna. Our guide Eduardo, for his part, was fantastic. He was super friendly and kind, as well as knowledgeable about the region and the places we went. The trip concluded with some time to lounge at Carvoeiro beach which rounded off the excitement of the kayaking and cliff jumping.

Super fun. My cousin and I enjoyed it. The kayaking was really cool. It was worth the money. Our tour guides, Eduardo and Artu were awesome.

Eduardo was a fantastic guide- he was punctual and left at 7AM sharp with the rest of the tour from the meeting point in Faro.
The kayak portion of this trip was approximately an hour, but then a tour of nearby caves and some optional cliff jumping was included. Eduardo's knowledge of the area really came through, and he provided us with an unforgettable experience. He prioritized safety and allowed for the tour participants to make decisions when they wanted to participate versus when they didnt feel comfortable. It was overall a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend to anybody wanting to try.

We got up really early to meet at the pick up point and waited from 6.45 to 0715. Noone came to collect us or answered our calls and messages ☹️
We were told later that the tour had already left at 0700 which couldn’t be possible as we were there…
I think in truth, there was an issue between Viator and the tour company and the booking didn’t go through properly, even though the money was taken, and that’s the reason they didn’t come.
We got a quick refund but were really disappointed. I think they should look into this so it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

The guide was very encouraging, informative, professional and positive. It was a great mix of seeing caves from the water(kayaks), discovering caves by land and relaxing stroll in a beach town.

I joined Eduardo’s tour while travelling solo, and it was honestly one of the best experiences of my trip. The group was small and intimate, which made it easy to connect with others — I even made new friends along the way. Eduardo’s passion for his job really shines through; he doesn’t just guide, he shares stories, hidden gems, and personal insights that make the trip come alive.
What I loved most was how thoughtful and engaging he was. He made sure everyone felt included, adjusted to the group’s pace, and created an atmosphere that felt more like exploring with a local friend than a formal tour.
One of the best tour I’ve been to.
