“Tour was excellent. We were taken from a convenient location (marina) to the various landmark stops on the trip via a comfortable air conditioned minivan. We were then given the option at the penultimate stop, whether we wanted to take the extremely scenic walk to the beach or be driven (if less abled). Lastly we were dropped back off at the marina. All in all an excellent tour. The tour guide Andres gave a detailed description and history at each stop which greatly added to the tour. 10/10”

13.From Faro: Boat trip to Benagil Cave & Arches of Praia da Marinha

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 72 reviews · 5 hours to 5 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $84

From Faro, Sebastian or Claire drives you to Benagil for a small-boat visit to Benagil Cave and nearby arches. You’ll see several sea caves, then relax at Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha, swim, explore its tunnel, and visit a cliff-top chapel.

“The tour guide was Ok, but the tour itself was over stated. For the price you spend 20 minutes in a small boat to see the caves and then dropped off on a cliff to walk down to a small beach for little over an hour. The rest is spent in a van. If you are a large group I would highly recommend getting a private boat and just enjoying the sea.”
