# Benagil Cave Sunset Cruise

**Guidekin's take:** The Benagil run timed for sunset: ninety minutes from the Portimão dock past the Alfanzina lighthouse to the cave as the light goes. Life jackets are the only inclusion, and the captain decides on the day whether the sea allows the boat inside the caves. 4.64 from 123 reviews at €19 per person.

In our comparison: #25 of 28 in Benagil Caves, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

At the chosen time we'll meet at the San Francisco de Portimão dock and board a boat to sail off on our sunset tour.

We'll spend one hour and half sailing the Atlantic Ocean as we head towards the famous Benagil Cave, one of the most fascinating places in this part of southern Portugal. Get your cameras ready!

As night begins to fall, we'll marvel at a breathtaking sunset over the magnificent landscape. We'll also get to admire the Alfanzina Lighthouse as we approach Benagil Beach, one of the special places on the Algarve coast.
