Embark on an exciting journey of discovery along Portimão's stunning coastline, starting your trip at the Clube Naval de Portimão.
The first stop is the imposing Torre da Lapa, a historic monument that was part of the defensive structure of the Algarve coast.
The journey continues towards the Gruta do Contrabando, where the magic of the ocean reveals hidden secrets.
The highlight of the tour is the stunning Gruta do Paraíso, hailed as the new jewel of the region and compared to the famous Gruta de Benagil. Its vibrant colours, unique rock formations and the sunlight dancing through the openings give this natural spectacle a heavenly character. Photograph spectacular moments and soak up the beauty of this extraordinary cave.
On the way back, the tour reveals another important facet of the region: the fishing harbour. The importance of this activity for the Algarve is emphasised, as is the importance of the canning industry.
Public transportation options are available nearby. Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. Not recommended for pregnant travelers. Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. Showcasing the wonders of our coast is a mission that we take very seriously. The state of the sea may not allow boats to enter the caves safely. This is an assessment that is up to our experienced skippers and maritime authorities.
You'll find the Portimão Commercial Harbour on your right and you'll have to go straight ahead along the "dirt road" (a dead-end road).
At the end of the road you'll find the meeting point (see photos).
