What Guests Say About Our Algarve Cave Tours

Testimonials

What They Say

We took the Benagil Sea Cave tour from Albufeira with Algarve Cave Tours. Joyous ride bouncing over the waves on the RIB boat, which then took us right inside the caves. Fantastic rock formations, secret beaches and then to round the trip off we got to see three or four dolphins! Wonderful explanations of all the sites by the two guides. Well worth the money. Thank you!.”

My boyfriend and I went on the benagil cave tour and I couldn’t say one bad word about it! The boat was a rib boat and we could go in to the caves and see all the caves ! The staff were amazing and did so well at keeping us entertained for two and a half hours ! Will definitely be coming back and 100% recommend !

Cette escapade de vilamoura à la’grotte de Benagil fut magique. Le seul bémol est de ne pas avoir pu descendre du bateau pour aller sur le sable et prendre des photos de la trouée de la’grotte

Absolutely fantastic trip, scenery was amazing & interesting. Boat staff (Bruno & Marcel) were really helpful & informative. Suitable for all ages, we were the youngest on the trip. Saw dolphins after the cave tour & located easily with shared GPS. Would highly recommend 10/10 👏
