This is my shortlist of Algarve boat trips of every stripe, cave runs, barbecue cruises, family catamarans and more. Most work the cliff coast between Lagos and Albufeira, where the caves come thickest. If getting inside one matters to you, book small; the big catamarans stay outside the tight entrances.
Experience the stunning Algarve coast on a 1.5-hour speedboat tour from Portimão, exploring caves, cliffs, and possibly spotting dolphins—perfect for adventure lovers.
