Additional Information

A 7h30 activity on a catamaran where you will visit the coast and rock formations between Vilamoura Marina and Benagil Cave, and enjoy a barbecue on a secluded beach. Due to the vessel having a mast with 20 meters high, visit to the caves will be limited, considering this characteristic.

You’ll transfer to a dinghy and then disembark at a secluded beach that’s inaccessible by land. Enjoy a variety of recreational activities, sip refreshing drinks, and enjoy a unique meal prepared by the crew.

During your time at the beach, you will have water and beach sports equipment available, including stand-up paddle boards, rackets, and other beach games.

After a BBQ lunch, you will have a couple of hours to relax and enjoy the deserted beach and the calm, translucent sea.

Fantastic boat trip with beach BBQ - We had an amazing day out on the catamaran, with the perfect skipper Ricardo that showed us all the beauty of the coast and managed to enter the cave enough to let us enjoy it. The long stop on the beach for swimming and BBQ was memorable, allowing us to o swimming or easily with a small boat. On the beach balls and water games for young and adults. The BBQ was absolutely delicious with skewers, sausages, prawn and sardines but also vegetarian on demand. The secluded beach is a gem and Ben our teen at the end was smiling! Thank you to the fantastic crew including Laura and Nunu, if we were staying longer I would have done it again!

best experience EVER!! - if you only do one thing in Algarve…DO THIS. We had such an amazing time it was the perfect way to end our trip. It was a good mix of young people like us and families. The staff went above and beyond, you can really tell they love what they do. the boat was huge, make sure you either sit on the nets in the front or on the deck on top. There were about 59 people on our boat but it didn’t feel good crowded. We met so many new people from all around the world. We were actually the only Americans on the boat which was cool! We even went to karaoke with our new friends after the boat ride. Shout out to the captain Sergio and deckhand Nunu that really made it a memorable experience! The beach was beautiful and the food was sooo good at the BBQ. The staff is very attentive and also play beach games if you ask. We got great pictures and it was truly the most beautiful part of our trip!

Worth the money and a must do! - Firstly this is definitely a full day. The sail is a few hours there and back. So get settled enjoy the sights, the sea and the hospitality of the staff - who are amazing and well worth a tip. They work so hard The food is as per described. No frills but really good. The prawns were amazing and if you want a drink or two just queue up and get them!! Unfortunately we went in choppy conditions after a thunder storm so we did not stop at the normal beach as it was difficult to stop there. Which looking at photos of the original option wasn’t as nice. Also nothing at the beach. No paddle boards or snorkels like other companies provide to keep you busy. And I think we had a shorter time on the beach as we had to go on somewhat. Hard for the company to deal with but we still had a great time. The highlight was the trip back in choppy waters which thrilled my daughter sitting up front and getting soaked and the crew kept spirits high all the way back. They even arranged for a few dolphins to turn up to keep us company. The only let down was a bit of commentary / communication on way out. Info about coastline etc. but that was the THE only issue. Once again a thanks to the crew!!

Lovely Cave and Beach Excursion - It was a great experience. Worth the money! The BBQ grilling at the beach was lovely as well. We were gone from 9:40 am until almost 5 pm. They were not rushing to get back. Plus we saw the caves and a bonus of a large dolphin. Would do this excursion again. Signed, Denison TX couple.

Disappointing experience - We were booked in for a catamaran experience leaving from Vilamoura and instead we had to get off our boat in Albufeira and reboard a boat that was fully booked with no available seats outside. Very disappointing.
