From Faro: Kayak into Benagil Cave, visit Algar Seco & Carvoeiro
Overview
Discover the stunning Algarve coastline on a half-day adventure combining sea kayaking, coastal walks, and free time to relax. Depart from Faro in a comfortable air-conditioned van and experience the perfect mix of nature, exploration, and excitement.
Start your journey with an incredible adventure to visit the iconic Benagil Cave — the cave that appears on postcards, your computer’s screensaver, and in photos everyone dreams of taking. Then continue exploring some nearby grottos and hidden beaches during a one-hour kayak tour.
After kayaking, continue by van to the eastern side of Algar Seco, where you’ll explore dramatic limestone formations, the amazing natural pool, and the famous Boneca (Doll’s) Cave. For the more adventurous, there’s also the option to try cliff jumping, under supervision.
End your experience in the charming coastal village of Carvoeiro, with time to relax on the beach, explore scenic viewpoints, or enjoy local food and drinks.
