FAQS
Where are we located?
At the Beach of Carvoeiro (main center) after crossing the square on the left-hand side, where you can see an orange flag “CarvoeiroCaves.”
Do we enter the Benagil cave during the tour?
Yes, usually we always enter the Benagil cave to explore its beauty and majestic dimensions; however, passengers are not allowed to step out of the boat inside the Benagil cave. If you book the long tour and if the weather allows, you can go for a swim during a short break in impressive scenery.
I am afraid of sailing and I can't swim. Can I still join these tours?
Please do not worry, you have automatic safety life jackets on (including young babies) and all CarvoeiroCaves ® skippers are very well trained and have over 1000 hours of sailing experience each. You will be astonished by their performance and the way they try to please visitors. All boats are equipped with all safety gear as required by law.
Is it better to go in the morning or afternoon?
Morning tours often enjoy calmer seas, while afternoon tours offer spectacular light for photography. Both are incredible experiences!
Is this tour suitable for children?
Absolutely. Kids love the "explorer" feeling of entering the caves. We provide appropriately sized lifejackets for even the smallest adventurers.
What makes starting from Carvoeiro better than Portimão?
Starting from Carvoeiro means you are in the heart of the action immediately. You spend less time traveling over open water and more time exploring the actual caves and cliffs.
What if the sea isn't safe for the tour?
This activity is subject to sea conditions. If the ocean is too rough for safety, we will reschedule or offer a full refund.
