## Why each made the list

- **Visit Silves & Explore the Arade River | Eco-Friendly Solar Boat** — A quiet solar powered boat up the Arade river from Portimão to the medieval town of Silves, with live commentary, cushioned seats and shade, a change from the cave boats. Minimum numbers apply, parking in high season is extra, and it is not suited to small children. 4.99 from 215 reviews at €50 per person for 4h 30m.
- **Explore Secret Caves and Beaches of Alvor - Boat & Kayak Tour** — A boat and kayak combination on the quieter stretch between Alvor and Praia do Vau rather than the Benagil crowds, aboard a handcrafted wooden boat from the fifties that carries the kayaks to the caves. Food and drinks are not included; each double kayak has a weight limit. 4.96 from 225 reviews at €40 per person for 3h.
- **Algarve wine tour and mountain top trip with lunch or dinner at sunset time** — Two Algarve wineries with a wine expert and three tastings at each, then a drive up to the region's highest peak for a full lunch or sunset dinner with house wine at a mountain restaurant. Groups are capped at eight and need two people per booking; tapas at the wineries cost extra. 4.97 from 107 reviews at €147 per person.
- **Benagil Caves & Coast from Portimão on an Eco-Friendly Catamaran** — A solar powered catamaran from Portimão to the Benagil caves, three hours with lounge seating, a bar and a restroom and no engine fumes. Minimum numbers apply, so a booking can be refunded if too few people sign up, and the boat is not suitable for reduced mobility. 4.91 from 327 reviews at €43 per person.
- **Private Tour - Benagil & Marinha Beach (Max 8PAX)** — A private boat for up to eight that takes three hours over the Benagil cave, the Boneca rock at Algar Seco and the Alfanzina lighthouse at your own pace, with snorkelling gear and a paddle board on board. Priced per group at €550 per group/vehicle; food and drinks are not listed. 4.85 from 61 reviews.
- **Benagil Boat Trip with Lunch, Open Bar & Fun Water Activities** — A two deck catamaran from Portimão that turns the Benagil run into half a day: a light lunch, an open bar of wine, beer and soft drinks, a swim stop with paddle boards and inflatables, and a restroom on board. Tips are extra. 4.76 from 600 reviews at €46 per person for 4h.
