Benagil Sunset Ophelia
Sunset observation
Full description
Discover the Algarve’s breathtaking coastline and the iconic Benagil Cave on a relaxing sunset cruise aboard a spacious and comfortable catamaran.
Departing from Portimão, this 2.5-hour experience combines coastal exploration with one of nature’s most beautiful daily events - sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Travel in style aboard the Ophelia, a large catamaran with both open and covered decks, a fully equipped bar and onboard amenities, including music, Wi-Fi and accessible facilities.
As the catamaran sets sail, cruise past picturesque landmarks such as the historic Fort of Santa Catarina and the charming village of Ferragudo. Along the way, take in the Algarve’s dramatic cliffs, hidden beaches and fascinating rock formations near Carvoeiro and Algar Seco.
The highlight of the journey is a visit to the spectacular Benagil Cave - a naturally sculpted, cathedral-like grotto with openings to the sky and sea. Conditions permitting, the boat enters the cave for a unique and unforgettable experience.
On the return trip, relax and enjoy the peaceful ambiance as the sun dips below the horizon, casting golden light over the ocean - a perfect end to a coastal adventure.
