Benagil Cave Travel Guide – All you need to know

In a way, I’d say it’s a bit overrated and it kind of lost its natural purpose, due to the mass marketing. But, on the other hand, I still believe it’s a nature’s wonder that’s totally worth seeing, at least once in a lifetime. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily the place I’m willing to visit more than once, cuz one thing I didn’t like was the fact that there is no limit on how many tourists can be there at the same time. Especially during the peak season, when there are so many tourists at once that you don’t get to see much of it. I know big crowds are to be expected when we’re talking about such popular attractions, but I would’ve expected things to be slightly better organised. What I’m actually trying to say, is that when we got there by boat, there were at least 6-8 other boats full of tourists, plus dozens of paddles and kayaks, which were all waiting in line to get a bit closer to the cave. The issue is that every boat trip lasts for a specific time, which means they won’t wait forever to get closer. So you might not get the view you’re expecting. Nevertheless, it’s an interesting and exciting experience which you’ll be happy about at the end of the day.
