About Sea Kayak & Boat Cave Tours

The most popular activity in the western Algarve, sea kayaking or boat tours through the sea grottos and arches of Ponta da Piedade, exploring the golden limestone formations at water level in the company of expert local guides.

Sea kayaking and boat tours through the sea caves and grottos of the Ponta da Piedade coastline have become the most popular tourist activity in the Lagos area and one of the most popular in the entire Algarve. Multiple operators offer tours departing from Lagos harbour (near the Forte da Ponta da Bandeira) or from the beach at Ponta da Piedade. The sea kayak tours typically last 2-3 hours and explore the network of caves, arches, and sea stacks from Praia Camilo northward to Ponta da Piedade and beyond. The boat tours (in small motorised boats carrying 6-8 passengers) are shorter (45-90 minutes) and cover similar territory with less physical effort. Both types of tour navigate inside sea caves where the height of the rock overhead and the colour of the water create extraordinary visual effects. The best conditions are in the morning before the afternoon winds pick up.

Did you know? The Lagos sea cave tours can accommodate over 500 people per day at peak season, yet the experience stays intimate, because operators take the caves in small groups at their own pace and the narrower grottos, some with entrances that flood at high tide, admit only a boat or two at a time.
