Kayak adventure by stunning caves

5.00I've been wanting to visit Benagil caves for years and finally I managed to! Coupled with the kayak adventure it was an incredible day. Miguel is a professional yet cheerful guide which guided us safely in all the caves despite the sea wasn't in perfect conditions. He made sure all in the group were safe and having a good time. The itinerary was very nice and the time spent in Benagil cave will be a memory I'll hold on forever
Throughly enjoyable experience all round, well worth the early start!

5.00A big thank you to Patrick for a wonderful experience! He was very welcoming and full of enthusiasm, he clearly loves his work. We got some great views along the coastline, including a golden hour glow, which unfortunately didn't last. We were however lucky enough to padel inside/through three caves, which made for a fantastic tour, adding to the visual delights! Conditions were a bit choppy at times, but it just made the experience more fun, and I always sensed that Patrick prioritised the safety of the group. PS impressive that Patrick gets some great pictures from his GoPro whilst padel boarding! I would recommend the sunrise tour in particular to beat the crowds and also to commend Patrick's tour, due to the limited numbers. In the later part we passed a large group arriving later, and I don't think they would have such a seamless experience.
Fantastic!!

5.00Starting in the middle of the night from the hotel ( 5.30am) we thought we were quite crazy to have booked that trip. We got there and soon found ourselves Climbing down irregular steps without any light, the ocean just heard, invisible. Another climb through tunnels and steps we got out on the other side to the most beautiful beach in the faintest bit of daylight...Starting the kayak into the waves of the incoming tide felt scary but thanks to the expert guiding it was so easy! Everything else is beyond words. The beauty of it, the fact we were the first and for the time being only tourists there, meaning we could have our leisure at exploring caves. The history and stories and anecdotes shared by the guide rounding it up. All the time being aware we were on the Atlantic in nothing more than a bit of rubber and air! An absolute highlight, not to be missed when you love nature and a bit of an adventure!

5.00We started in the dark with Patrick! He was absolutely the best guide! We were the first out on the coast and into the caves including Benagil! Paddling as the sun came up was epic! I would highly recommend this paddle because, there will be hundreds of kayaks, catamarans and boats at 10:00. It is a literal zoo out there after 10:00!
Superb Sunrise Kayak Trip!

5.00Excellent small group tour! Miguel was an amazing tour guide. Highly recommend doing the sunrise tour to avoid all the boat traffic that happens after 9am. We were down at the beach later in the day and couldn’t believe the hundreds of kayaks and boats in the water. This 6:30am tour truly allowed you to see and experience the caves peacefully. Watching the sun rise above the rocks was spectacular!

5.00We really enjoyed this tour. Patrick was a great guide who was very informative about the area. The sunrise tour is highly recommended because you'll be the only ones on the water! 5 stars also thanks to Patrick 😊
