1. Benagil: Kayak Tour to Benagil Cave
Benagil Cave is one of the most recognizable natural attractions not only of the Algarve itself but of Portugal as a whole. In summer, you can expect crowds of tourists here trying to get to the cave by boat, kayak, board or even by swimming. Visiting the cave is only possible from the ocean level.
Going down to the small beach available inside the cave is not possible if we will be doing a boat cruise. Boats, for safety reasons, can only go inside for a while, but cannot stop at the beach. Therefore, the most popular are kayak trips to Benagil cave with a guide starting directly from Benagil beach. Below you will find a link to the most popular and best-rated kayak trip to the cave.
