Questions
Is the day too long?
It is a full day, with about 3 hours’ drive each way. If you want more time on the beaches, a private tour lets you set the pace.
What happens if the boats can’t run?
Boats only sail when the sea is safe. If they can’t run, we see Benagil from the clifftop instead.
Is lunch included?
No. There is time for lunch during the day, and meals and drinks are paid separately.
