Ponta da Piedade & Lagos Cruise

Many of Portugal's great explorers set sail for the New World from Lagos. In this excursion, you'll be able to follow in their navigator's footsteps and see the sights along the Algarve's beautiful coastline.Unusual rock formations, natural tunnels and grottoes have been carved into the weathered cliffs, which stand as a stark contrast against the blue-green sea. Ponta de Piedade is guarded by a traditional lighthouse, and the best way to navigate through the maze of its unique rocks is in a small fishing boat. It's probably the most beautiful natural feature of the Algarve's coastline. Plus, there'll be a swim stop so you can have a dip in the sea.Back on dry land, there'll be time to explore the nearby town of Lagos for a few hours. Steeped in the history of Portugal's Age of Discovery, it's now a thriving holiday spot, so a trip to the beach might be on the cards, but it still has a charming fishing port and local market centre that you might want to investigate.
