What you'll do
Explore the best preserved places in the Algarve, enjoy secluded beaches, immerse yourself in local traditions, and relax in a charming local fishing Village. There's a lot of swimming involved too in an undiscovered region, in the south of Portugal!
This trip is popular for its combination of clifftop walks and coastal swims, giving you a taste of both worlds. Swim into Praia da Marinha and see for yourself why it's constantly voted one of Europe's best beaches. Marvel as we swim past sinkholes, sea stacks, through tunnels, caves and sea arches, and visit unspoiled areas inaccessible by land.
Along with our experienced swimming guides, who know the area like no one else, you'll have all the safety support you need to enjoy this odyssey to the fullest, witnessing this unique part of the Algarve.

Welcome to the Algarve

Following the briefing we head down to the nearby Praia da Rocha for a short acclimatisation swim.

Isolated beaches
The first day of the adventure along the Algarve coast will be spent in Lagos. Leaving by boat from Praia da Salema, we will head out east to Praia do Burgau, from where we will start our swim towards Praia da Luz. The return will be made by boat for the next stop, a traditional Portuguese lunch.
After lunch, we will walk around one of the ex-libris that characterizes the region, Ponta da Piedade.

After breakfast, we'll start exploring the coast of Portimão. We will leave the Portimão Marina in a small boat to our starting point, Praia da Senhora da Rocha. From there, we will swim around breathtaking rock formations, including the Arco de Albandeira.
We will swim through inland caves which has under cliff access to the beaches. After a stunning pass under a double sea arch we arrive at Praia de Marinha where we will board our support boat again.
Returning to the city of Portimão, we will visit the highlight of this tour, the famous “Cathedral” or Cave of Benagil, which we will only visit by boat.
