Ideal Cruise Durations for Exploring Benagil
While the thrill of the Benagil Caves can be enjoyed during shorter outings, we recommend dedicating enough time to truly immerse yourself in their beauty. Whether you choose a four-hour, five-hour, or full-day adventure, each option promises its own unique way to experience the Algarve’s iconic coastline.
Four-Hour CruiseFor those on a tighter schedule, this half-day option provides a mesmerising snapshot of the Algarve’s most renowned cave system. You’ll set sail for the world-famous Benagil Cave, snap a few photos beneath its natural skylight, take a quick dip in the turquoise waters, and soak up the surrounding coastal scenery. It’s the perfect introduction to one of Portugal’s most stunning natural wonders—without taking too big a bite out of your day.
Five-Hour Cruise
If you’re looking to explore a bit more while still keeping your itinerary flexible, the five-hour cruise offers a happy medium. This extra hour at sea allows for more time to linger at the caves, swim in secluded spots, or try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). With two SUPs on board, you can paddle closer to hidden bays, explore mysterious grottoes, and savour the Algarve’s beauty from a fresh perspective.
Seven-Hour Full-Day Adventure
To fully appreciate the region’s hidden gems and unspoiled coastal panoramas, opt for the immersive full-day cruise. In addition to visiting the iconic Benagil Caves, you’ll have ample time to explore neighbouring cliffs, stop at secret coves for swimming or snorkelling, and pause for a leisurely lunch break at a local restaurant (meal not included). Longer outings allow you to make the most of every amenity aboard the Sunseeker Portofino 53—bask in the sunshine on the spacious decks, cool off in the air-conditioned interior, and toast the day’s adventures with refreshing drinks in hand.
