Overview
Since the 10th of September 2023 access has been banned to the Benagil cave for swimmers. Vagabundo Travel don’t like fun police, swimming was great for 7 years, but we now have 2 x 2-seat kayaks. The authorities have now completely banned standing on the sand inside the cave. You will however get a pretty spectacular look at the cave from the comfort of a kayak.
Our kayaks are quicker than the ones rented at Benagil and as we include transport to and from Lagos, beer and sangria and a picnic lunch it really is a no brainier. The kayak trip is dependent on weather conditions. On the odd occasion, waves at Benagil mean the lifeguards put up either a yellow or red flag and we are not permitted to use our kayaks. We will endeavour to inform you if this is the case prior to your booked trip.

Our tour will take you to the majestic Benagil cave. We drive from Lagos in our fun vans, listening to great music and enjoying beer and sangria for the 40 minute journey. Once at the beach we'll set up for the day and take off for our 60m swim to the Benagil cave. We provide life jackets, boards and inflatables to help with the swim. Afterwards we enjoy a lovely lunch (plenty of veggie options) and finish by viewing the cave from the clifftop above. Returning to Lagos in the party van around 6.30/7pm.
