The best way to visit the Bengali cave and be able to be inside to take photos. Also to see the spectacular coastline from the water is amazing. The guides are professionals, excellent and keep you safe.
We did the 0830 tour. Mike and his staff were very polite and professional from the beginning. The waves were a bit larger on our journey and the guys were completely knowledgeable in how to get us on and off the shore between the rollers. The scenery is gorgeous and the weather was perfect. Highly recommend to all! Thanks to Mike, Pedro and the rest of the crew! Well done.
Pedro and Samuel did a great time taking our group out to see the caves. We got to explore and the caves and both kept our safety #1. They offered us history of the caves, took pictures for us, and were very professional. It was wonderful to spend about 20 minutes on the beach cave. Priceless moment This was a bucket list trip and a must see. Well worth the value. Thank you Samuel and Pedro for your expertise.
We loved it! We kayaked a lot before but never on the ocean so it was a wonderful experience. It’s kinda busy with all the other kayak and boat tours but our guide, who was terrific, made sure we weren’t all at the same time in a cave etc. Pablo (If I remember correctly?) had great stories and explanations about the caves. Would definitely recommend doing this while staying in the Algarve!
We did the 8:30 am Benagil Kayak Experience trip. This is a great way to experience the rock formations and caves of the Algarve. While this is a super popular destination with tons of kayaks and sightseeing boats the early morning trips are a little less crowded. If you really want to avoid the crowds try their sunrise trip. The Benagil algar, a large cave with a hole in the top, is less than a 5 minute paddle from Benagil beach. It’s an impressive sight. They spend about 30 minutes at the algar which is about 15 minutes too long but it does give everyone a chance to get all the photos they want. After the algar we continued down the coast and entered 3 more caves, 2 were a short loop and 1 was a short out and back. We also took a quick spin through some beautiful formations down the coast. We were a total of 20 guests in 10 double kayaks with 3 guides. There were also other groups in the area as well as sightseeing boats. One of guides, Marcel, told me that it’s even more crowded in the afternoons with tons of boat traffic. The sit-on-top kayaks are super stable. You get in and out on the sand and the guides push you into the sea and pull you out. The algar de Benagil is the only place you get out other than back on the Benagil beach where the tour starts. This is easy kayaking with generally calm seas. Secret Algarve does a safety and instructional talk before you head down to the beach and outfits you with life jackets and dry sacks. They also have storage lockers for any valuables you don’t want to take on the kayak. You can leave your shoes in a bucket at the beach and do the trip barefoot. You do get wet on this trip so plan accordingly. The temperature in early September was perfect in the morning. I was not too cold or too hot wearing a long sleeve sun shirt. We spent 1.5 to 2 hours on the water.
The tour guide are very encouraging, they unlock my friend's skill on Kayaking...it's my friend s first time to Kayak..I thought I would need to look after her throughout the whole trip...but the team did an excellent job to protect everyone's safety and cheer up those who scare water and don't know Kayaking...the scenery along the cave area and the seaside in Algarave is out of this world....hope to come back next year...
