Great experience and beautiful views - Great trip with a fun guide. Unlike other tour groups, ours was small (6 people), which I liked. We had great weather and mostly calm waters, so we also went to another cave. Overall great experience and would recommend. *Biggest thing to know, because it's damn near impossible on your own - finding the location is hard and asking round will have you turning in circles. When you arrive, there is a parking lot at the top of the hill. Go down the hill towards the beach - as you round the corner (literally in the bend), there will be a restaurant up on a hill to your left and a small road to your right - go down the small road on the right and the main office is there*

Just WOW - best activity we’ve done so far! - We (my spouse and I) had a perfect sunny day to participate in this activity. There were 8 participants and our guide, Pouco, on our kayak adventure. Pouco was absolutely fantastic and made the activity more enjoyable with his humor. He also happily acted as photographer for our group while we were inside the cave, which was spectatular! We have been in Portugal now for almost a month and have to say this was the highlight for both of us so far! Book this tour and enjoy, as we did.

A must do while in the Algarve region - Such a beautiful and fun activity to do with teens. There is no better way to experience the caves of Benagil than in a kayak. At the famous spot - you can get out and explore. ( motor boats do not). We were unable to kayak due to weather on the day we booked, but luckily we were able to the next day. Marcel and Jacob were excellent hosts.

fun kayaking with Patrick & Francesco - We had a great trip with Patrick and Francesco. We thought we were going to see the Benagil cave but found out last minute that the Benagil cave has been closed to tourists for a couple of weeks because of too many tourist injuries this summer due to overcrowding, including a 6 year old girl who is in a coma. Instead we started at Barranco Beach and kayaked west. We saw lots of beautiful caves, arches and algars. Patrick and Francesco guided us past and into many interesting rock formations. We kayaked for about an hour then landed on a nice beach where we got out to look around and could go for a swim. After about 15 minutes we kayaked back to Barranco Beach. Highly recommend!

Updated experience from the picture and original description (but still great) - We went with the info from TripAdvisor rather than the company's website; unfortunately it took us to the wrong location. This company (like the others) has recently had to move down the coast for launching and no longer visits the famous cave *but* we visited several other great algarves and saw gorgeous scenery and formations on our tour. The guides were friendly, helpful, and informative and we had a wonderful time!

avoid this!!! - The tour operator never showed up at the location. I was 30 minutes early and sent several texts and also called. No one responded to the texts or calls. There was no communication. We waited over an hour and wasted our limited vacation time.
