36 tours in Portimão, from €15 to €219 per person, average rating 4.9 based on 19238 reviews.
Portimão is one of the Algarve's best launch points for getting out on the water, so when you compare tours in Portimão, start with the boat trips. The marina on the Arade river is where most of them leave, running west along the cliffs to the Benagil sea cave and the hidden grottoes you can only reach by boat or kayak. Dolphin-watching trips, catamaran cruises and speedboat cave tours all set off from here, and in summer the popular ones fill up days ahead, so it pays to book early.
Back on land, Praia da Rocha sets the tone: a long golden beach under dramatic ochre cliffs, with a promenade of bars and seafood spots. It makes an easy base for beach days between excursions. If you want more of a thrill, Portimão leans into adventure too: kayaking and SUP around the cliffs, jet-ski and parasailing off the beach, and coasteering for the brave.
When you've had enough of the coast, the day trips reach inland fast: the medieval castle at Silves, the hot springs and mountain air of Monchique, and the wider Algarve. Whatever you pick, the tours below are sorted so the best-reviewed, highest-rated experiences show up first.
