This cave is the hottest tourist stops on the southern coast of Portugal. The trails in the area all lead to this cave, hotels are set centered around this cave, and entire tour groups organized just to get a glimpse of this majestic cave.
The people in that inflatable boat in the entrance paid around €30 per person to sit at the opening of the cave and never see this view. The people inside the cave either swam in or rented paddle boards for €15 just to scoot inside the cave for a few moments before they have to paddle back and return the board.
By coming in on our own dinghy, we were able to make it in all the way in and have no one telling us when its time to leave. We roll in when we want and we left when we were ready!
This is one of the best parts about cruising, you have the flexibility of time and the peace to enjoy where you are for as long as you want.
