Detailed itinerary

You’re going to be welcomed with joy by our crew at the Marina de Lagos, where the adventure begins even before you step on board.
Together with you, we’ll go over the itinerary and tailor the experience to your wishes, sharing clear instructions and insider tips to make the most of every moment on the water.

Our first stop at Praia dos Estudantes is a truly special moment of the journey. As the boat gently slows down near the shore, the captain begins to share fascinating stories and insights about the Algarve’s iconic cliffs. Towering above in warm shades of gold and amber, the cliffs reveal millions of years of history carved by wind and sea.

The boat ride in front of Dona Ana Beach is absolutely breathtaking. As the boat glides over crystal-clear turquoise waters, golden limestone cliffs rise dramatically from the sea, sculpted by time into arches, caves, and hidden grottos. Sunlight dances on the water, reflecting warm hues onto the rock walls, while the gentle ocean breeze carries the fresh scent of salt and adventure.

We'll look closely and see how erosion has carved caves, tunnels, and bold rock formations, turning this coastline into one of the most breathtaking in Europe. This stop isn’t just a pause in our journey—it’s an invitation to see the Algarve through the eyes of nature itself.

Stop 5

We'll arrive at Ponta da Piedade, a breathtaking gem along the Algarve coastline. This natural wonder boasts towering golden-hued cliffs, sculpted by time and the tides into mesmerizing arches, caves, and hidden grottoes. Rising up to 20 meters above the crystal-clear Atlantic, these dramatic rock formations create a postcard-perfect scene that ranks among Portugal’s most iconic sights.

Here, we pause to soak in the panoramic beauty, capturing stunning photos inside the mystical sea caves. And for those craving a touch of adventure, the inviting turquoise waters offer the perfect spot for a REFRESHING SWIM in nature’s masterpiece and enjoy some light snacks from our picnic basket.

As we return to the Marina de Lagos after an unforgettable journey discovering the Algarve’s stunning sea caves, the atmosphere is filled with relaxed smiles and lasting memories. Enjoy the gentle ride back, the golden coastline fading into the distance, and the feeling of having experienced something truly special. Our crew will be there to share final stories, answer questions, and make sure you disembark with a smile—bringing your adventure full circle, right where it began.
