Guidekin's take

A fast rigid inflatable from Portimão pier that passes the Santa Catarina fort and Ferragudo on the way to the Benagil caves, with a live guide and automatic life jackets.

Rough seas can keep the boat out of the caves at the skipper's call; pickup is not included. 4.76 from 706 reviews at €15 per person.

In our comparison: #24 of 28 in Benagil Caves, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
