# Tour to Benagil Caves and Coastline in Albufeira

**Guidekin's take:** A slower boat with a top deck and a restroom that spends the first hour on the rock arches and empty beaches before Benagil, then stops for a swim. Snacks and drinks are cash only on board, and the running time shifts with the sea. 4.82 from 459 reviews at €30 per person.

In our comparison: #2 of 7 in Boat Trips & Caves, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview
