The 15 Best Benagil Cave Tours

128 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.7 average  ·  from $18

The cave with the skylight has no path down to it, so the boat decides everything. These 15 are split by what they actually do: kayaks and small hulls that go under the arch from around $18, catamarans that photograph it from the water with shade and a swim stop.
