The Algarve
I’ve compared every way into the Benagil cave, from Carvoeiro speedboats to kayak trips that paddle in from the sand next door. The Atlantic runs this show; operators cancel or skip the cave when swell builds, so book early in your trip to leave room for a second attempt. Mornings usually bring the smoothest water of the day.
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.
