with GoldWaves
The Meeting Point
Your adventure begins on the sand of Benagil Beach. Our team welcomes you with a smile, sanitized equipment, and an essential briefing. Here, anticipation blends with the sea breeze.
Between Giants & Secrets
The route between Benagil and Marinha hides much more than the famous arches. We take you to explore 'invisible' caves on maps and deserted beaches accessible only by sea. What will you discover in the shadows of the golden cliffs?
The Heart of the Cave
The moment the world wants to see, but few experience like this. We enter Benagil Cave in silence. From your kayak, you will have the freedom to admire the divine light of the 'eye' in the ceiling, floating in a natural cathedral (without disembarking).
Return with Stories
The journey back offers a new light on the cliffs. Upon reaching solid ground, you don't just carry photos, but the feeling of having discovered a secret. We share our favorite local tips for the rest of your day.

Customers Say

“I recommend taking the sunrise tour before all the other tours start later in the morning! We were the first ones out in kayaks and the only ones in the caves when we entered, a significant contrast to the lines of boats, kayaks and SUPs we saw later in the morning! Samuel was a great guide, took lots of photos for us and gave us lots of information on the history and geography of the area!”

“The most beautiful and amazing sunset kayak tour, this tour was soemthing like I have never done before but it was just everything I needed. The big plus is there was no other kayaks as this is the only company that does sunset tours. The tour guides (Daniela and Alexi) were very lovely and explained everything well, Thank you!”

“Beautiful sunrise kayak tour. Big plus: only company that starts at 6am, so you are alone in the water and caves. Really lovely guides (Danielle & Alexi) that offer nice info. Would highly recommend!!”

“Great sunrise kayak tour with our guide Samuel. He was very welcoming, knowledgeable and funny. Don’t hesitate to book with these guys. We ended up being the only ones in the morning and had all of algarve to ourselves before all the rest of the groups came in. If you don’t like the crowds, this is it. Obrigado, Samuel!”

“What a fantastic start to our day! Although GoldWaves wasn’t planning to offer SUP tours this year, our instructor Daniela made an exception for us since it was still early in the season. It was a special experience paddling with the sunrise, and Daniela made it even more special (and funny) for us. Booking the sunrise tour was, in my opinion, the best choice we could have made. It allowed us to do and see things that would have been impossible later in the day due to various conditions.”
