Full description

This guided kayak trip starts on a beach near Benagil and follows the cliff line at water level, where the Algarve coast is full of tunnels, arches and tiny coves. Your guide picks the route by the tide and swell, and explains how the sea carved the soft limestone.

The highlight is paddling into the Benagil cave, if conditions allow, and stepping onto other small beaches for a break. No experience is needed; the guide gives a short paddling lesson before you set off.
