The Algarve coastline is in a class of its own. On this boat trip aboard the Ophelia, you'll spot its most secluded beaches, eye-catching rock formations and fishing villages. Highlights include Ferragudo castle, Carvoeiro lighthouse and Benagil beach. And to round things off, there's a barbecue on the beach, too.
You'll sail out of Portimao and head eastwards. Pass a fantastical landscape of grottoes and strangely shaped rock formations that have been sculpted by the seas and winds over thousands of years. See the tiered 16th century Ferragudo castle – which cascades down into the sea – and the steep cliffs crowned by Carvoeiro lighthouse as well as the pockmarked rocks of Algar Seco.
And for the blockbuster Benagil beach, you'll get up close in smaller boats so you can admire this open-domed cave. There's also a trip onshore to a secluded beach for a well-deserved barbecue lunch. Do some snorkelling, play a bit of frisbee or simply relax on the sand.
