Why Lagos is special
Lagos sits at the western end of the Algarve, where the coast breaks into the sea stacks, arches and grottos of Ponta da Piedade. The rock formations are best seen from the water, which is why a boat or kayak trip is the first thing most visitors book.
Trips leave from Lagos Marina and the riverside pontoons in the old town, so it is easy to combine a morning on the water with lunch in town.
Which trip should I choose?
For the grottos, choose a small-boat grotto tour or a guided kayak tour: they can slip inside the caves. For a relaxed day with the family, a catamaran cruise gives shade, space and a swim stop. Benagil cave is further east, so from Lagos it is a longer, faster RIB trip.
Groups and couples who want the boat to themselves can charter a private motor boat, sailing yacht or catamaran with skipper for a few hours or the whole day.

Frequently asked questions
Where do boat trips in Lagos leave from?
Most trips leave from Lagos Marina or the pontoons along the Avenida dos Descobrimentos. Your confirmation gives the exact meeting point.
Can you go inside the Ponta da Piedade grottos?
Yes, on the small-boat grotto tours and kayak tours, when the sea allows. Larger catamarans stay outside the caves.
Can I see Benagil cave from Lagos?
Yes. The Benagil RIB trip from Lagos runs along the coast to the Benagil sea cave. It is a longer trip than from Albufeira or Portimão.
