About the experience

Set sail from Albufeira for a half-day coastal escape that captures the beauty of southern Portugal. This cruise offers a perfect mix of sightseeing, swimming, and relaxation along the most iconic beaches and cliffs of the Algarve.

The journey begins at Vilamoura Marina, cruising west along golden beaches and dramatic limestone cliffs. You'll pass by the stunning shores of São Rafael and Galé, with time to stop for a swim or to simply enjoy the scenery. A highlight of the cruise is the visit to the incredible Benagil Cave, one of the most photographed natural wonders in Portugal. If sea conditions or your preferences allow, there is also the possibility to explore part of the Ria Formosa, a peaceful natural reserve rich in wildlife and hidden lagoons.

This half-day experience is perfect for travelers who want to enjoy the best of the Algarve coast in a relaxed, private setting, without committing to a full-day excursion.
