7 Kayak Tours in Portimao to Build a Day Around

1.Small Group Kayak Experience In Benagil Cave with 4K Photos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,468 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $48Our pick

Kayak from Carvalho beach to Benagil Cave with a small group, provided gear, dry bags, and free 4K photos in English.

“The sunrise tour was spectacular! The views were amazing. Our guide knew how to avoid the other groups. It was a bit difficult getting down the stairs to the beach in the dark but well worth it to get an early start. They provide photos as well but I will say they were taken with a go pro camera and not the best quality. Get a waterproof case and take your own phone or camera shots.”

2.Kayak Benagil Cave with 1st kayak tour company

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,326 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $44

Kayak Benagil Cave from Lagoa, Portugal. Small-group, guided 2-hour paddle past Praia da Marinha and pirate caves with included gear.

“It was a great experience overall, however, the excursion itinerary wasn’t as described. We did not stop at any beaches off of the kayak. I don’t believe we went by the dog beach or pirate beach, at least we were not told. We were in the kayak the whole time. Important to know: you cannot disembark out of the kayak when you get to the benagil caves. The tour guide said this is a new regulation, which we fully understand respect but the description of the ad should be changed to say this just so you aren’t disappointed when you get there. This being said, still had a great time…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 353 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $54

Sunrise small-group kayak from Carvalho to Benagil Cave, Marinha arches, and smuggler tunnels, with included gear and free 4K photos.

“We loved this kayak tour. Getting to see the Benagil cave with only our tour group made getting up before sunrise worth it for sure. The kayaking was very enjoyable and the guides did a great job explaining things and making sure everyone stayed safe in the waves. The rock formations along the coast are beautiful and the guides taking pictures of us was definitely a bonus. Afterwards, we were able to hike along the seven hanging valleys trail from where we’re parked and it was crazy how many tours and boats were going near the caves and rocks shortly after we had been there essentially by ourselves. We would…”
