Join a five-hour minibus tour from Faro to Algar Seco, Boneca Cave, Benagil Cave from above, and Marinha Beach. Guides such as Andres, Rafael, and Claudia lead the walks in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Bring water, sturdy shoes, swimwear, and a packed meal.

“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”

“What an unforgettable day at the Benagil Caves! This trip completely exceeded my expectations. Our travel guide was fantastic, super helpful, incredibly knowledgeable, and always going the extra mile to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. His time management was spot-on, and his explanations were clear, engaging, and really brought the area to life. The hike trail was equally impressive - well organized, smooth, and handled with great care by the guide, making it both safe and enjoyable. Everything felt perfectly planned, and we could just relax and take in the stunning views. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Algarve!”

★★★★★★★★★★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.”
