These are the best sea-cave kayak and paddleboard tours: guided runs from Benagil, Lagos and Albufeira beaches, with prices, group sizes, and an honest note on which start points suit first-timers and which want some arm in them.

“We’ve booked the early Kayak tour at 8h in the morning. As others didn’t show up we’ve got a private tour thru the caves in beautiful morning light. There was no one else around and we could enjoy the awesome scenery all by ourselves. We can definitely recommend going there early as it’ll get very crowded later during the day. Also, the longer (2-hours long) trip will give you much more time to actually go into the caves (even when you’re in a larger group and the paddling takes longer), visit a beach or just hold still and enjoy the scenery and sound of the waves. Our guide Ruben from…”

“We really enjoyed our tour with Alfonso and his other team members (sorry I cannot remember our captains name). He took time to explain the rock formations. The weather turned out great, and there wasn’t as many kayak tour boats out as I expected so not too crowded. The coastline was beautiful but having some experience with kayaking is helpful to minimise running into the rocks/stone to keep them preserved. Overall would recommend this tour! Lagos is beautiful”
