This is the boat tour to take. The guides are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The boat drivers are incredible. Their skill is truly impressive. They drive so far into the caves with only inches to spare which can be a little unnerving but their level of skill is amazing.

Tridente Boat Tours did a phenomenal job on our boat tour of the Benagil caves from Armaçao de Pera. We started out meeting Catarina on the beach in front of Pedro's Bar. They have a shaded area to relax and take your shoes off before your tour. when it is time the boat driver and tour guide will help you put on your life vests. they had plenty for adults and children. Mine are six and 22 months. they bring the boat right up to the beach so it is only a few steps into the water to the boat. there were only two families on our tour so it was pretty close to a private tour. the other family was a family of four as well.
on the boat ride to the benegal cave, the tour guides would give us information about the coastline and some of the history of Portugal as well as Armaçao de Pera. it was interesting, informative, and even entertaining. they took us to several other caves in addition to the Bengal cave. I definitely want to come back to some of these places with a kayak. the Bengal cave is always busy as it is the most spectacular cave on the coast. our guides had no problem navigating by other boats and kayak groups to come into the entrance so that we could take in the cave in all of its splendor, well as much as we could from the boat, as only kayaks can go onto the sand in the cave. we had enough time to take in the views, snap some photographs and take some video, then we were on our way back to the fisherman's beach in Armaçao de Pera. Easy drop off, gathering our socks and shoes, and we were on our way. Excellent, quick trip with very friendly staff! If you are visiting Armaçao de Pera or a nearby town in the Algarve, give this business a try. We think you'll love it!

The boat trip was absolutely amazing experience. Bernardo was a really good guide telling us nice little stories about some of the beaches and the caves. It is worth seeing all the beaches and ending it with the Benagil caves. I am already considering doing it again with my children.

Leave directly from beach - small boat can get right into caves - lovely guide who explains all the sights

Perfect weather, fantastic tour guides, and a beautiful country. It doesn't get any better. If you are in the neighborhood you should take this tour.

Perfect size boat and carful navigation - let us get into caves. Real motor boat and not a dingy. You enter from the ocean so you leave your shoes behind.
