Discover a little-known paradise in the Atlantic Ocean on this boat tour to the Berlengas Islands. Admire the landscapes of Berlenga Grande and explore its natural caves.

Berlengas Islands & Caves Boat Tour

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at Peniche Marina to start our boat tour to the Berlengas Islands. We will set sail for a 30-minute cruise to the archipelago aboard a catamaran, observing marine life along the way. The Berlengas Islands are a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, featuring incredible underwater plants and wildlife.

Upon reaching Berlenga Grande, we'll switch to a smaller boat with a glass bottom to visit the natural sea caves of the islands. A 30-minute cruise will take us to São João Batista Cave, the Blue Grotto, and the Furado Grande, a natural tunnel of 70 metres that opens into a bay. During the remaining free time, participants can explore the island via different trails.

After approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes of cruising around the Berlengas Islands, we'll return to Peniche Marina to conclude the tour.
