Things to Do in the Algarve

Activities, tours, and experiences across the Algarve, from boat tours along the sea caves to clifftop hiking trails.

The Algarve's coastline is the obvious draw, but the range of things to do here goes well beyond the beach. Boat tours into the Benagil Cave and along the Ponta da Piedade cliffs are the headline activities. The western coast has consistent surf and a growing number of surf schools. Kayaking through sea caves, dolphin watching off Lagos, hiking the Seven Hanging Valleys trail, and wine tasting at inland estates all compete for your time. The guides below cover what's worth doing, what it costs, and how to book.
