A wodnerful and personal experience - We had a wonderful experience on this kayak tour with Alan. It was a small Group of us and we started off from a family property with a short walk to a private beach with the owner who was a pleasure chatting with. Loved the personal touch and they were very knowledgeable and shared the history of the Benagil and other caves we visited. Lots of fun and it was easy to keep up with the group. A definite must if you especially don’t want to be on a large group within the touristy area. Waterproof bags are provided and there are shower facilities available to wash off. You can also enjoy time at the beach after the tour. Thank you guys for this experience. Also Alan took individual photos of us which we had access too at the end of the day.

Wonderful trip. - We had a wonderful trip with eco tours. Our safety and enjoyment were clearly their top priorities. We saw another kayak tour out at the same time as us, who didn't seem to take such good care of their guests safety. Thank you to Viktor, Alex and Gabriel. They were great!

Fantastic Kayak Adventure!! - Allan with Benagil Eco Tours was a Fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable of the local caves and beaches & made sure we got the most out of our paddling experience. Allen is passionate about his job & we couldn’t recommend a better guide or a better company! Don’t hesitate to book with Benagil Eco Tours!

Top kayaking providers! - Great kayak tour and professional support from Daniel. We were out for 3 hours and he never looked at the clock. We've seen great caves, not just Benagli. We can only recommend the team!

Amazing tour , super authentic and most memorable way to see the caves. - Amazing experience. Our Brazilian leader and his two assistances were knowledgeable and lead us on a very memorable and personal tour experience of the area by true locals. The only way to do this experience justice. Do not pick from larger operators as it’s too many people and totally not authentic. This is the only one I would give a 5* and recommend to everyone I know coming here. Just amazing! Wouldn’t change a thing.

The best experience we had in Portugal! - This tour was one of the best experience we had in our trip to Portugal! The instructions to get to the tour were shared in advance and were pretty clear. Victor tooked the time to explain a little bit of the history and Daniel our guide was really kind, patiente and capture every moment. 100% recommended. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!!

One of the best things we have done as a family on holidays. - Absolutely super experience and well worth the price. Alan and Gabriel took out a small group. Just enough kayaking so not too strenuous. The views are spectacular and the trips into the caves were great fun, especially for teens. Will do it again whenever we visit. The photos, which are included, are high quality and link arrived same day. Thanks for the memories.

big kayak adventure - It was a great experience to explore the caves by boat and paddle on the sea. We received a very friendly welcome from Alan in the provider's private parking lot and got into the kayak after a 7-minute walk together. Our kajak guide Daniel gave us lots of interesting information about the caves and the small group size with only 3 boats was very pleasant. What one should know beforehand: You can't avoid getting wet and sitting also in the wet, depending on the weather it can get very cold over time.
