“Very enjoyable trip -- would highly recommend! We were happy we chose the trip that ferried us from the marina to the interesting part of the coastline. That saved a lot of paddling! The meeting place was easy to find, and Days of Adventure was professional and organized in managing various trip departures in the busy marina. Our trip guides were friendly and spoke English well. Having a guide with us, plus the nearby support boat, removed any anxiety about being on the water and navigating the sea caves in sometimes choppy water around other boats.Read more”

Kayak through Algarve caves from Portimão, visit Benagil, swim in the Atlantic, and ride a catamaran for $49.
“Fantastic boat ride to the starting point of the kayaking. The guide was informative and helpful, gave ideas for other things to do in the area. We went along the coast and into several caves, including Benagil cave, for pictures. Kayaking started off the main boat as it had a ramp, so you sit in the kayak and they push you into the water. Kayaks are the sit-on type so your butt will get wet, plan to wear a swimsuit. We kayaked along the coast as the boat followed us, and then got back on the boat with the ramp - super easy! The boat ride back to the marina…”

“it was fun, me and the gf we're beginners on the kayak but he showed great patience en was very encouraging. bit of a bummer that we didn't get to go on the benagil beach but we got to go in the cave which was nice also. And in the end we didn't hear him and crashed into the beach and into another pair but all is well and he handled it like a pro. well worth the money and very fun! 5/5 recommend”

“We had a great time doing kayaking at the Benagil cave. The guide also took us to other caves, one of them with what seemed like a tortoise, and other dark ones. It was very good. All the activity took about 2 hours, from the scheduled time to leaving the kayak. Equipment was in good condition, and the guide was in excellent spirits. We recommend this to everyone that want to experience the cave closer and be in contact with nature. If you are a senior I wouldn’t recommend, it’s quite a distance rowing.”
