Totally worth it if you are a SUP enthousiast! - I give 5 star to this experience because of our guide Fabio which provides informations and guidance that enriches this tour a lot! Otherwise I would give it at least a 4,5* because this is an incredible experience (you don’t get to explore Algarve this way everyday) but the time you spend inside the cave (the one you see on every pictures) is not very long (a couple minutes) because there is sooo much tourists, kayaks, boats, etc. But you get to see other caves which is veryyyy cool! Make sure you arrive in advance because parking can be tricky over there and also, please, make sure you are comfortable using a paddle board before going into the ocean with it (it is not a regular lake) otherwise just take a kayak tour which is easier in my opinion.

SUP in small groups - I booked the SUP tour at 9:30. You definitely have a better chance of finding a parking space! I really liked the tour! It is advertised that the tours are carried out in small groups, but I was particularly lucky again and was travelling in a group of 3. Fabio war unser Guide. He explained a lot during the tour and you felt in good hands. Also, the briefing at the beginning was not unnecessarily lengthy (of course without skipping important or safety-related things), so you were really on the water almost the entire time. I traveled alone, which often makes taking photos as a reminder difficult, but here you are accompanied by a GoPro and Fabio was very careful to take many pictures and also to take photos of them all equally often! Overall, a really great experience. Little tip: you are long on the water in bright sun. You have the opportunity to get a wetbag for your phones and valuables - put a water bottle in there!

Friendly cave tour. - We did the SUP tour of Benagil caves, took a 9:30 slot before it got too hot. Car parking was easy at this time and only 5€ for the day at the top of the hill. Blue xperiences were easy to find and we were issued with everything needed straight away. Then we were given instructions from Flávio and his wonderful terrier, Bluey. We were all beginners and Flávio coaxed us round and was an excellent guide as well as instructor. Can only speak from experience but I’m glad we went with this company as the whole trip felt really friendly. No need to take your phones either as full pictures are taken and sent to your email address. Thank you all for a great experience.

Stunning views and a an absolute must do in Benagil - Definitely my favorite experience in my one week visit to Portugal! The caves were stunning - it was so cool to be able to go into them. Fabio was our guide - he is a Navy vet with a lot of knowledge and he was very funny and good at coordinating us and taking our photos. He also gave us great beach and lunch recommendations. BlueX does small groups - which is much better than other tour companies here that do huge groups. Wear your swimsuits and wear a lot of sunscreen. They give you a dry bag where you can put your valuables - but I’d bring as little as possible. The water is wavy and there’s a lot of boat traffic - so you can be on your knees if you’re a beginner. It’s highly likely that you’ll fall in - so don’t wear expensive (or your favorite) sunglasses/jewelry.

Perfect for all ability levels - My sons really enjoyed their paddle boarding tour to the caves and coastline at Benagil. One is an experienced paddle boarder, the other a complete novice, and neither found it too easy or too difficult. We really appreciated the photographs and videos too! Highly recommend Bluexperiences! Thanks guys
