The Algarve, seen from the sea
Join a boat tour to the caves and the dolphins, or take a kayak out on your own. Either way, the cliffs look their best from sea level.
Dolphins are a common sight along this coast and often come to ride the bow. Seeing them in the wild is the part guests remember longest.
Kayaks & paddling
Benagil’s dome, the heart-shaped window and caves you can only reach by water — this is the stretch everyone comes for.
You can walk the clifftops, but the arches, the hidden beaches and the sheer scale of the rock only make sense from below.

About the boat tour
- Tour duration
- 2 hours
- Boarding location
- Praia do Carvoeiro, with free transport to Ferragudo
Weather permitting, we stop by a beach for a swim along the way.
We meet you at Praia do Carvoeiro and drive you to Ferragudo, where the boat is waiting. From there it is two hours of cliffs, caves and open water.
We are a small team who grew up on this coast. We know which cave is worth the detour and where the dolphins usually are — and we will tell you the stories behind both.
We head out to the dolphins' feeding grounds first, then turn back along the coast: Praia da Marinha, Algar de Benagil, Olhos de Deus, the largest cave in the Algarve, and a few places with no name at all.
Our skippers talk about the marine life and the local ecosystem as we go, so you leave knowing more than when you stepped aboard.
