Additional Information

Supplied by a company holding a ‘Clean and Safe’ certificate, awarded by ‘Turismo de Portugal’.

Our extraordinary voyage begins in Portimão where our crew eagerly awaits your arrival at the Clube Naval de Portimão pier or from where our cozy, air-conditioned minibuses can collect you for direct transfer to the boat launch point. A friendly reception awaits, followed by a brief outline of safety protocols.

Our expedition towards the renowned Benagil Cave commences next. We’ll pass by historic churches, fortresses, stunning and mystifying caves, while sharing age-old tales. There’s also a good chance we’ll spot dolphins – our boats are fitted with VHF Radio and maintain communication with the dolphin sighting vessels. If our marine friends are seen within a distance of 2 nautical miles, we won’t hesitate to steer you towards them.

Automatic reservation allotment applies. If you book individually, yet are part of a larger group, do inform us which bookings pertain to your party.

  • Good for avoiding crowds
  • Showcasing the wonders of our coast is a mission that we take very seriously. The state of the sea may not allow boats to enter the caves safely. This is an assessment that is up to our experienced skippers and maritime authorities.

Well worth viewing the coastline from a boat - Speedboat tour with Atlantic Tours to the various caves between Portimao and Benagil. Lovely breeze on a sunny warm day. Pleasant guides and great views.

Amazing experience - Booked the 90 minute speedboat tour of the caves. My tour guide (unfortunately I forgot his name 😢) was extremely informative, told us facts about the caves and Portugal & even suggested good spots for us to visit during our time here. He was very funny aswell which added a pleasant time in the overall experience. Will definitely recommend Atlantis and will book again next time I visit!

Great experience! - Iara was a fantastic tour guide! The boat tour was spectacular. A boat tour is the best way to view the coast and caves. Iara answered all our questions and even provided recommendations on local restaurants and attractions. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience with super friendly staff. - Fantastic experience. From the moment of booking, che kes if all was well before we arrived, while waiting a nice spot in the shade to sit. Staff was super friendly. Our tour guide was very informative, funny and friendly. Our captain had just enough cheek to give us some speed and adventure. Beautiful sights in the caves. We loved it. 3 generations.

A boat tour to remember! - Roger guided us and made it a trip to remember with his clear explanations of the various sights. The highlight was of course the Benagil Cave at the last stop of the tour. Beautiful and magnificent. This was a boat tour to remember!

A really good experience - Went on the 90 minute Cave Tour. It was easy to book and Atlantis were very good at keeping in touch and giving instructions to the meeting point. The tour was just the right length of time. The guide was good giving the right amount of information in a humorous fashion. The skipper of the boat was very adept at getting right into the caves for a good view. A really good experience overall at a good price. Certainly recommend this company.
