Caves, Cliffs & Coastline: Discover Benagil by Catamaran
Departing from Portimão Marina, this 3.5-hour catamaran cruise takes you on an unforgettable journey along one of the Algarve’s most iconic stretches of coastline. Cruise past dramatic sea cliffs, hidden beaches and some of the region’s most famous landmarks - including Carvoeiro, Algar Seco, the Alfanzina Lighthouse, Benagil and the postcard-perfect Praia da Marinha.
The highlight of the cruise is a visit to the world-famous Benagil Cave, a majestic sea cavern known for its natural skylight and golden sandstone formations - a must-see when visiting the Algarve.
Later, the boat anchors in a secluded bay where you can swim in the clear Atlantic waters, try Stand-Up Paddleboarding or have fun at a floating inflatable water park. With plenty of space to relax on the twin sunbathing nets, this is the perfect blend of sightseeing, leisure and light adventure on the water.
