Set out from Portimão with a private group of up to 15 people and follow the Algarve coast to Ferragudo, Carvoeiro, Vale Centeanes, and Benagil Cave. Guides such as Mauro, André, Luis, and Marco use a compact boat to reach farther into the caves and allow more time for photos.

“Very nice experience, the only bad point was we asked to be guided in French and it finally it was in English. Good adventure to get to know not just the touristics spots, but the less known caves, which are much cooler.”
