I give 5 star to this experience because of our guide Fabio which provides informations and guidance that enriches this tour a lot! Otherwise I would give it at least a 4,5* because this is an incredible experience (you don’t get to explore Algarve this way everyday) but the time you spend inside the cave (the one you see on every pictures) is not very long (a couple minutes) because there is sooo much tourists, kayaks, boats, etc. But you get to see other caves which is veryyyy cool! Make sure you arrive in advance because parking can be tricky over there and also, please, make sure you are comfortable using a paddle board before going into the ocean with it (it is not a regular lake) otherwise just take a kayak tour which is easier in my opinion.

The company was very organised and instructions were clear. It was great fun paddleboarding a small group on the beautiful blue sea with sunny sky and gorgeous coastline and cliffs!

Bruno was patient kind and insightful! We had a great experience and it was still a lot of physical work paddling but completely manageable

thanks very much for joining. Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Everybody at Blue Xperiences was thrilled to hear you enjoyed yourself, especially you. We always try to make our Benagil cave Paddleboarding tour as fun as possible, and we’re so happy you had a great time. Did you know we’re a Surf School in addition to our SUP experiences? We would love for you to come back soon and give it a try! We hope to see you again soon. Best wishes, Bruno Valente

Tour was just ok. Area is very crowded and directions for parking were poor. Also bathroom facilities were filthy
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Hi Teresa, this is Bruno From BlueXperiences sup benagil cave
We had you last Tuesday on our SUP tour.
We are very grateful for your choice.
Just saw your review on Tripadvisor, we are happy you loved our tour, private with the guide only for you!
on Tripadvisor a 3 star review is very bad to us, it left me very sad , we agree your reasons for this rating but this is out of our reach, we don’t have nothing to do with the Bathroom facilities, they are public, not private, its not our fault!
in the name of my team need to say that this 3 star review is anfair and doesn’t reflect our good work.
I ask you please if you don’t mind rectify this to what we really deserve, because its really very bad for us when we dont have nothing to do with this .
Also please understand that this is a turistic place, number of people arround at 12pm (rush hour) is normal for a place like this.
Regarding the car park, maybe your Gps is not the best, and again not our fault there are Parking signs on the road every 100mt, maybe not in good conditions but they are there!
If you wish to complain about bathroom issues, or Parking info please email the City hall president

Thanks for understanding

I booked the SUP tour at 9:30. You definitely have a better chance of finding a parking space!
I really liked the tour! It is advertised that the tours are carried out in small groups, but I was particularly lucky again and was travelling in a group of 3. Fabio war unser Guide. He explained a lot during the tour and you felt in good hands. Also, the briefing at the beginning was not unnecessarily lengthy (of course without skipping important or safety-related things), so you were really on the water almost the entire time.
I traveled alone, which often makes taking photos as a reminder difficult, but here you are accompanied by a GoPro and Fabio was very careful to take many pictures and also to take photos of them all equally often!
Overall, a really great experience.
Little tip: you are long on the water in bright sun. You have the opportunity to get a wetbag for your phones and valuables - put a water bottle in there!

The team was really great, they guided us from start to finish! Even the cute little dog who accompanied us was part of the party. The equipment was in good condition and the view beautiful. I loved my experience!
