Set out from the Rota Vicentina — and travel into the Algarve for a full day combining two of the region's most rewarding experiences: a cliff walk through the Seven Hanging Valleys and a boat trip into the Benagil Sea Cave. This is a fully private tour. Your guide collects you from your accommodation anywhere along the Rota Vicentina and takes care of every detail. No shared coaches, no fixed group schedules — the pace is yours. The Seven Hanging Valleys trail is one of the most scenic coastal walks in Portugal — a route along golden limestone cliffs above hidden coves and sea arches. Afterwards, you travel to Portimão to board the included boat excursion into the Algar de Benagil, Both activities can be skipped or reordered to suit your group. There is time to relax or have lunch at your own expense on the Algarve coast before your guide drives you back north. Transport, guide and boat tickets included. Meals not included.
