Swim and Chill at Benagil
On the 10th of September the powers that be decided to ban access to the Benagil cave for swimmers, kayaks and SUPS.
This is not a boat trip. We at Vagabundo Travel are the only tour that gets you inside the Benagil cave. We get inside the cave by swimming 60m around the coastline with boards, life jackets and inflatables. Boats will drive by, but a photo from the boat is only half an experience, we get you inside the cave and get sand on your toes. The swim into the cave does require a moderate level of swimming ability, we always have guides to help with the swim, but we can't swim for you. For an additional cost you can hire a SUP board or kayak to help you into the cave. The swim is dependant on weather conditions. On the odd occasion, waves at Benagil mean the lifeguards put up either a yellow or red flag and we are not permitted to swim into the cave. We will endeavour to inform you if this is the case prior to your booked trip.
