Full description
A catamaran is the most comfortable way to see the Algarve caves. Its twin hulls make for a smooth, stable ride, and the large deck gives everyone space to sit in the sun or find some shade.
From Albufeira Marina you cruise east along the cliffs, past rock stacks, arches and small beaches only reachable by boat, to the famous Benagil cave. It is a relaxed trip that suits families with young children and anyone who prefers a calmer boat.
