Hike the Cliffs and Cruise the Caves
Immerse yourself in the Algarve’s coastal beauty on this unique full-day tour that blends a scenic cliffside hike with a relaxing boat cruise through some of Portugal’s most stunning sea caves. It’s the perfect way to experience both the land and sea of this breathtaking region.
Begin your day with a guided walk along the famous Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, considered one of the most beautiful hikes in Europe. This moderate-level trail winds across golden cliffs and offers panoramic views of the Atlantic, with stops at iconic spots such as Benagil and Carvalho beaches. Along the way, admire dramatic rock formations, lush Mediterranean vegetation and the serene beauty of hidden coves.
After the hike, enjoy some free time in the charming seaside village of Ferragudo — ideal for a snack or a leisurely stroll through its cobbled streets and waterfront.
Next, shift from land to sea as you board a comfortable boat in Portimão for a memorable cruise along the Algarve coast. Sail past Algar Seco, explore sea caves and grottoes, and of course, visit the famous Benagil Cave, where sunlight pours through a natural skylight in the rock dome. Relax on board and soak in the views of the coast from a whole new perspective.
