Overview

Guidekin summary

A catamaran carries you and the kayaks from Albufeira to Benagil, so you paddle the caves and beaches to Marinha with two guides and a support boat, then ride back without paddling. Moderate fitness is expected; no children under five. 4.75 from 123 reviews at €50 per person for 3h 15m.

From the guide

Discover the Algarve coast on a safe and unforgettable kayak tour, starting with a relaxing catamaran cruise from Albufeira Marina to the Benagil area. From there, join two experienced guides as you paddle through stunning caves, cliffs, and hidden beaches between Benagil and the iconic Marina Beach. This tour is designed with your comfort and safety in mind — a support boat stays close throughout the kayaking route, and the catamaran picks you up at the end, so there’s no need to paddle back. Unlike most kayak tours that depart from the beach, you don’t have to return by kayak, which often makes the experience more tiring and less enjoyable. This makes the experience much easier and more relaxing, especially for those with little or no kayak experience. If sea conditions allow, we’ll stop at a secret beach for a swim and enjoy another refreshing dip from the catamaran before cruising back to the marina.
