Additional Information

Meet at the Portimão pier and prepare for an unforgettable Private adventure. After a brief and important safety briefing, board the agile RIB boat, ready to explore the wonders of the Algarve coast.

As the boat sails along, you will be treated to spectacular views of the Fort of Santa Catarina, an imposing coastal sentinel, and the castle of Ferragudo, which seems to emerge from a fairytale setting. Along the way, a picturesque fishing village completes the idyllic picture, offering an authentic glimpse of traditional seaside life.

The highlight of your adventure is the iconic Benagil Caves, a true natural treasure accessible only by sea. Admire the impressive openings at the top of the caves, through which the sun’s rays penetrate, illuminating the golden sand beach with a heavenly light.

We inform our customers that our life jackets are automatic, purposely and improperly bursting them will incur an additional cost of €70 per life jacket, paid at the boarding point

  • Good for avoiding crowds
  • Showcasing the wonders of our coast is a mission that we take very seriously. The state of the sea may not allow boats to enter the caves safely. This is an assessment that is up to our experienced skippers and maritime authorities.
  • Pets not allowed

Wonderful experience for the whole family! - Our crew was awesome in making the trip very enjoyable, even our 4-year-old son! They helped with getting some amazing photos and were able to share a bit of history of landmarks while adding in humor. They were also able to provide great restaurant/food recommendations in the area.

Caves tour - Amazing tour highlight of the Portugal trip. The caves were great. Carlos our tour guide was perfect and Johnny boy our captain navigated some waves and the big boats. Benagil was cool but hectic we enjoyed the other caves more. Highly recommend Atlantis truly delivered

Great decision to take the boat tour - We just wanted the opportunity to do something different from walking tours on our 11 night trip in Portugal and Spain . We had little time in Portimao and 1.5 hours was perfect. This boat experience was way beyond what we anticipated. The weather was perfect, as was the tour guide and boat crew. Atlantis Tours was professional and friendly, most importantly on time. To be able to get in the caves by boat was spectacular, no picture can catch the real beauty. The location to board at the port was only a 15 minute walk from our ship.
