Overview

Mobile ticket
Hop aboard a speed boat at Lagos Marina and cruise along the stunning coastline of the Algarve on a fast-paced adventure to the famous Benagil Caves.
As you glide across the Atlantic, enjoy front-row views of dramatic cliffs, hidden beaches, and breathtaking sea stacks. Along the way, your local guide will provide live commentary, sharing fascinating facts and legends about the rock formations and the history of the area.
Visit the iconic Benagil Cave, known for its massive dome and circular skylight, and explore other hidden grottos and pirate hideouts along the coast. Each trip is shaped by the tides and sea conditions, making every experience unique and spontaneous.
Enjoy the top-tier safety gear, and the thrill of a smaller, more agile boat that can reach areas larger vessels can't access — all while feeling the sea breeze and the excitement of adventure.

5.00This is a fun trip - quick ride in the speed raft to the Caves which are located down the coast. On the way back to Lagos the captain goes into the caves which are awesome . Funny drivers. Nice way to cool off. Should not visit Lagos without visiting Benagil.
Great fun, interesting and nice guides

5.00Had a great trip to the caves... Loads of thanks to the friendly guys Ricardo & Telmo who made the trip it fun, interesting and lively. If you're in Lagos, make some time one afternoon to do it... gives a great tour of the beautiful caves, and a different view of Lagos, Portimao & Alvor amongst other smaller places such as Cavoeiro that I didn't even know existed.
Great time

5.00We had a wonderful experience on this tour and would recommend to others! Our tour guides were very friendly and attentive. The conditions weren’t safe for us to originally enter the Benagil cave, but later on in the tour when our guides learned the conditions had improved, they turned around so we could see it. We were really grateful and impressed!
A fantastic experience at relatively low cost

5.00We really enjoyed this trip. You’re taken straight to Benagil and then weave in and out of the coast on the way back, seeing more caves and beautiful spots. On top of this, the captain and tour guide were both friendly, making the experience smooth and without worries.
Fantastic trip

5.00Fantastic trip , so friendly & informative Saw lots of dolphins 🐬 very close to rib and went to Bengil cave - which was stunning & went to a couple more caves on way back Would highly recommend this trip - 5 stars
Super fun and hard working crew ensuring a great experience.

5.00Top rate crew and experience. Booking the excursion on the website was easy. Then meeting the ticket office reps was even better because they explained each available option to make sure the tour was exactly what I was seeking. Next, the crew on the boat went out of their way to provide a fantastic day on the sea. Noticeably, when the dolphins were challenging to locate, they eagerly waited and tried different locations until these fast and playful animals were seen by all of those on board. It sure makes a major difference when an adventure company cares about having the tourists leave with huge smiles. See you soon again!!!
