Gruta de Benagil
The tour puts the famous Benagil cave within easy reach by kayak, letting participants approach and admire the natural chamber and surrounding cliffs from the water.
Secret Beaches
Paddles take you to small, sheltered beaches and coves along the coastline—places often inaccessible on foot and revealed only by a waterborne approach.
Guided, Small‑Scale Exploration
This is a guided outing: an experienced leader sets the route, provides basic instruction and navigates the coastal features so guests can focus on the scenery.

For about two hours you’ll sit in a double kayak and follow the guide along a sequence of caves, arches and sheltered coves. The pace is set for observation and ease: strokes between features, brief stops to take in rock formations and the occasional landing on a small beach, all framed by clear Atlantic water and coastal limestone.
