Tours and Excursions in Albufeira

53 tours in Albufeira, from €29 to €180 per person, average rating 4.8 based on 20511 reviews.

Albufeira is built for getting out on the water, so the smart first move when you compare tours in Albufeira is to look at boat trips along the Algarve coast. The cliffs west of town hide sea caves and the famous Benagil grotto, and you only really see those from a boat or kayak. Most leave from the marina with hotel pickup, which saves you sorting a taxi from the Old Town or the strip up by Oura.

Past the coast, the day fills itself fast. We'd send a first-timer on a half-day boat trip for dolphins and caves, then a sightseeing or adventure tour inland toward the markets and hilltop villages. The classic day trip runs to Lagos and Sagres, or east to Faro and Tavira for quieter sand. Walking tours cover the Old Town and seafront, and private options with a driver-guide keep the pace yours.

53 Albufeira tours from €29. Boat trips, sightseeing, adventure and shore excursions, half-day or full-day, small-group and private, free cancellation on most. Easy to book online.
