Benagil & the hidden caves
Benagil is the picture on every Algarve postcard, which is exactly why we do it at the hour when nobody else does. We leave early, get you onto the water before the tour boats stack up, and then take the coast road west to the coves that never make it into the photos.

5 stops, in the order we drive them
Drawn rather than mapped, because the road matters more than the coordinates. The driver knows which of these fills up at eleven and plans around it.

How it actually goes
Times are the ones we work to, not the ones that read well. Say the word in the morning and the driver moves any of them.
- 08:30
Hotel pickup
We come to you. If breakfast starts late, tell us and we shift the whole day.
- 09:15
Benagil beach
Onto a small boat for the cave itself. Twenty minutes on the water, and the light inside is best before ten.
- 10:30
Praia da Marinha
The cliff walk above it, at your pace. Swim if you want to — we wait.
- 12:00
Alfanzina lighthouse
A short stop for the view back along the whole cliff line.
- 13:15
Back at the hotel
Or drop us a pin somewhere else and we take you there instead.

Three vehicles, three prices, no per-person figure
Tell us how many of you there are and we send the one that fits. The number of people changes the vehicle, not the arithmetic.

Three numbers, and none of them is per person. Each is the price of the vehicle and the driver for the whole day. Group size decides which of the three we send; it never multiplies anything. Tolls, fuel and hotel pickup are already in it.

No. You buy the vehicle, not a seat, and nobody else joins you. Group size only decides which vehicle turns up — it never multiplies the price by heads.
And the one everybody asks first: the figure is per vehicle, for the whole day. Group size decides which of the three vehicles turns up, never how many times you pay.
Take the whole van
Benagil & the hidden caves runs on the day you pick, at the hour you pick, with nobody in the vehicle you did not arrive with. Tell us the date and we confirm the driver.
