What To Expect
Praia De Benagil
Benagil Sea Cave is a spectacular natural limestone cave with a large circular opening at the top, formed by the constant erosion of ocean waves over thousands of years. Its stunning light effects and hidden sandy beach make it one of the Algarve’s most famous and photographed sea caves. We highly recommend taking a boat or kayak trip to enhance your overall experience and explore the cave up close.
Algar Seco
Algar Seco & Dolls Face Cave: Algar Seco, near Carvoeiro, is a beautiful area of natural limestone cliffs, caves, and rock formations shaped by ocean erosion over time. The Dolls Face Cave is a smaller, charming cave within this area. Wooden walkways and stairs make it easy to explore and enjoy spectacular views, making it a popular spot for hiking and photography.

5.00Our day trip to Algarve and Lagos with Ash, our private tour guide, was one of the highlights of our entire trip! Ash was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture and local traditions. We visited the most amazing spots that we never would have found on our own - charming towns and breathtaking viewpoints. Ash never made us feel rushed and we could spend extra time in the places we loved most. Not only was he an amazing tour guide, he was also our official photographer for the day - taking many pictures of us so we didn't have to rely on selfies. I would highly recommend this tour and Ash as well!
Wonderful excursion to Algarve!

5.00We had such a great time on this tour celebrating my birthday! I was a bit skeptical about the weather at first, but we lucked out and got to see all the beautiful sites. Unfortunately, due to the weather we weren’t able to go kayaking. However, Dee was incredibly nice and accommodating — he let us spend extra time at each stop and gave us plenty of time to explore a charming little town and enjoy lunch at an amazing family-owned restaurant. He also took tons of photos of us at all the best viewpoints and recommended must-see places to visit while we were in the area. On top of that, he made sure we got home safely even though we were a bit out of the way. I will say, it’s a long drive there and back, so plan on making a full day of it — but it was absolutely worth it!
Great tour
