🇵🇹 Benagil Caves ｜ Dream Come True Moment 🌊

Finally, it’s no longer just a picture I saw through a screen. The first time I came across this place, I immediately added it to my bucket list ✅. It did not disappoint—it truly gave me some of the most unforgettable memories. We booked a hotel in Lagos 🏖️, a small town surrounded by the sea. I highly recommend staying near the beach—just a few steps and you’re on the sand. Lagos is about 40 minutes by car to Benagil. If you mainly want to explore the Benagil Caves area, it’s better to stay in Carvoeiro—only a 10-minute drive and it’s a beautiful little town. There are two main ways to explore the caves: speedboat 🚤 and kayak 🛶. Both are worth experiencing, but you’ll need to plan your time carefully since access to the sea depends on tides and weather—schedules can conflict. 🚤 Speedboat – 20€ / 30 min You’ll see 6-7 caves with guided commentary. No need to book in advance—just take a taxi to Benagil Beach, and right in front of the beach, you’ll find ticket stalls. Each boat fits around 10 people. They enter the caves briefly for photos (you can use your phone), but you won’t get off the boat. 🛶 Kayak – 26€ / 2h Prices are similar across providers on Google. Booking in advance is recommended. Try to get an early slot—the sunrise session is less crowded and not too hot ☀️. We booked at 9:30 am, and it was still amazing. Our group had only 6 people, so we were lucky—the guide led the way. Note: It’s easy to tip over if you’re a beginner! Starting points vary by tour. We began at Albandeira Beach 🏝️—a gorgeous, quiet beach perfect for sunbathing. We kayaked along the coast to Benagil Cave with commentary along the way. Bags and phones went into waterproof pouches, so taking photos wasn’t easy. We stopped at the main cave to get out and take pictures 📸, then paddled back. Your arms will be sore afterward… but it’s totally worth it! 💪 #BenagilCave #SouthernPortugal #BeachLife #Kayaking #DreamDestination
