Caves and cliffs - I would recommend this private tour with Jose Santos. The drive is a couple hours long but the transportation was in a comfortable AC van. Went to some cliffs to explore around and then went on a boat tour of the coastline caves and dolphin watching. (Only saw one dolphin on the way back from the caves but it was a choppy day out!) Then we went to lunch at a local Portuguese chicken restaurant. Tour started at 7 am and got back to Lisbon around 6:30.

Our tour guide, Jose... - Our tour guide, Jose Santos, thought of every last detail. He was very kind and attentive, and was a wealth of knowledge. Our tour perfectly captured the beauty, ambiance, and cuisine of the region. The Benagil boat tour is a must!

Time efficient way to experience the area. - Very efficient way to see the area. The driver was very knowledgeable, friendly and knew exactly where to take us for the perfect experience. The ride down was broken up with stops and the driver was full of tidbits about the countryside. We drove past cork trees, olive trees and an olive oil factory. Many orange, apple, and pear trees covered the landscape. We also saw salt marshes where they gather the sea salt. We saw many stork nests and flamingos. The spot for lunch was a delicous restaurant on the beach. The boat ride was on a smaller sized boat so we were able to go into many caves. The Karst landforms are spectacular. The limestone is full of fossils.

Benagil Caves - Phillip was our tour guide today! He was fabulous took us on a 3 hr car trip from Lisbon to Algarve then we saw scenic views along cliffs overlooking the Atlantic. That was followed up by a fast boat transporting us in and out of the Benagil Caves . It was Amazing the skipper got us very close inside the caves and this is a must do trip. Had lunch overlooking the beach & drove back to Lisbon. I highly recommend this trip!!!

Exciting Day in the Algarve with Bengali Caves - To reach the Algarve region we drove through the beautiful Portuguese countryside. Seeing the Bengali sea caves was on my bucket list and did not disappoint. As the boat sliced through the water on a bright sunny day, we could see the sky through large openings in the caves. After the sea cave experience, Rui, our guide, drove up the western coast, stopping at beautiful beach towns along the way. We had an opportunity to stop for delicious pastry treat. It was a long day but relaxing as well. Our guide explained the areas we were visiting. We stopped to see a fort that had been destroyed by the tsunami. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Fantastic trip to Algarve with Hugo - Don't miss going to Algarve, easy trip from Lisbon. Our driver Hugo was the best. He drove us along the coast on our way back to Lisbon showing us several quaint towns along the way. His Mercedes van was super comfortable for all 4 of us. The breathtaking views overlooking the ocean are stunning. Algarve is just beautiful. Our cave and caverns boat ride was so much fun! It was a day for the memory books!

The best 10+ hours you could spend on a tour - Five stars isn’t enough for this tour - it deserves more! While a tour >10 hours sounds like a turnoff- it is worth every hour of the trip! Marta is a fantastic guide and she makes the time pass quickly. The boat to the caves can’t be described - you just have to see them. lunch along the beach was relaxing and delicious. The ride home with stops at beaches you might otherwise not know exists is the final advantage. Don’t miss an opportunity to take this tour- if nothing else, hanging out with Marta for a day will be well worth the price!
