What people are saying about Benagil beach

Amazing experience! Loved it so much and was the best thing we did visiting Albufeira. The views were outstanding, the experience was really fun and the caves were incredible. Definitely worth the money and would do this again.

Had a great experience. First tour we did got cancelled due high waves but we were so glad we came back for a second try. Benagil Algar was what we came for but ended up seeing so many more incredible caves and cliffs.

The beach, caves and cliffs are a must see. The views on the cliff walks are incredible. The wetsuits for the swim to the caves were still wet (and cold) fron previous outings. Some of it felt a bit rushed.

Our guides were very professional. The trip went smoothly without incident.

Excellent guide, and Total experience. I would recommend this to anyone
