Start at Benagil Beach with Bruno or Ana, learn basic SUP skills, then paddle beneath golden cliffs into caves, including Benagil Cave when sea conditions allow. The 90-minute trip suits beginners who can swim, includes equipment and same-day GoPro photos, and limits groups to eight.

“We had such a good time paddleboarding with bruno. We had never done it before so he taught us how to use the board safely and how to stand up on it. He was really patient with everyone while we tried to use the board. He showed us some amazing caves that you cant get to by land and told us some interesting facts about them. I would 100% recommend using bruno for paddleboarding, he was great. Thank you”

“A great activity to do with the teenagers! Total time was around 3hrs, everyone in the group was very friendly and helped each other carry the paddleboards down to the beach. I was initially worried to begin with as I wear glasses and didn't want to fall and drop them but everything was great. We were taken around and through the caves and photos were taken (€5 extra). Our guide Igor took care of the group and always made sure it was safe to proceed due to waves etc. Very happy and would recommend.”

Keep that in mind when booking that you have to go pick them up, drive to the beach and carry them to the water then back.”
