Overview

This 90-minute speedboat tour departs from Portimão pier and includes a safety briefing before boarding a rigid inflatable boat (RIB). The boat has comfortable seating with panoramic views and is captained by an experienced skipper. Along the Algarve coast, the tour passes the Fort of Santa Catarina and the Ferragudo castle, as well as the fishing village of Carvoeiro, offering views of traditional coastal life. The tour also approaches the Alfanzina lighthouse area, known for Europe's largest sea cave. The main highlight is a close visit to the Benagil Caves, accessible only by sea. A live guide provides commentary throughout the trip. All safety equipment and fees are included. Pickup and drop off are not provided. The skipper and maritime authorities decide if sea conditions allow entry into the caves for safety reasons.
