★★★★★Viator review
Highly Recommend
Diane_M, October 2026
This tour was excellent! Much smaller than many of the others. Our guide, Rafa, was amazing. Highly recommend!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Cave is amazing - BUT be warned…
ShawnHenderson, October 2026
The experience is something you must do - cave is amazing as is seeing the shoreline from the water. On this day, the ocean was angry and the waves were big. Add the wake from the bigger boats going by constantly and we were tossed around a lot. Several were ill, and there was a wait at the cave itself because it was so crowded. Got in for about 5min max then had to go for the next group. Still do it. There’s nothing else you will ever see in person that parallels it. But mentally prepare for the reality rather than the romanticized idea in your head 😁
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Too much people
293lauryl, October 2026
TOO MUCH PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. We were so much kayaks at the same Time. Waiting everywhere. Not worth it
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Well-supervised kayaking experience for the tour of Benagil and other caves
PaulinevdB2026, September 2026
We were a group of 10 people. The kayaks are for two people. If you are alone, you will be put on a kayak by yourself. The guides were funny and reassuring. We had epic weather conditions with wind and waves and rain. Despite everything, we were able to enter the Benagil cave and two other caves.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Fine, but would try another company.
329lauriel, September 2026
The water was a bit rough, but that’s not your fault. Didn’t feel like the guide gave us much history. A few that had never been, didn’t give much instruction. Sights were beautiful
