I loved that the day...
I loved that the day included a little bit of everything. We hiked along the cliffs with incredible panoramic views, explored the rock formations and hidden areas around Algar Seco, and had time to relax, swim and enjoy the beach. There were so many beautiful photo stops along the way that I basically came home with an entire Algarve photoshoot. 😂 The Seven Hanging Valleys portion does involve walking and some uneven terrain, so wear good sneakers and bring water, especially during the summer. Definitely bring a swimsuit too because getting into that gorgeous water after hiking was one of the best parts.

The BEST tour in Faro!!!!
This trip is absolutely amazing and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone able-bodied who is visiting Faro! The pick-up was clear and well-organized. You knew exactly where to be and when (don’t be late!!). The small group is the perfect size to make some new bestows if you choose or stick to yourself if that’s your preference. Eduardo- what can I say about Eduardo- what a TREAT!!!! He is helpful, funny, full of information, a mediocre photographer (jkjkjkjkjk!!), and an overall joy to follow around on this tour. And listen to him when he gives you tips on secret beaches, etc! DEFINITELY an amazing tour, well worth the money for what you get! Notes: Bring (or wear) a swim suit, deodorant, hair brush, a hat, and sunscreen. Then let Eduardo guide you :)

Fun in Algarve
Eduardo was amazing! He was a really great tour guide and made everything fun. The hike and the caves just got more and more beautiful. It was a great experience and my group was super happy that we chose to go. If you do go, make sure you bring a swimsuit and towel because you will want to get into the water and take a quick dip… especially if you are going on a warm sunny day.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Faro: Benagil, Marinha Beach, 7 Hanging Valleys, Algar Seco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Faro.
How much does From Faro: Benagil, Marinha Beach, 7 Hanging Valleys, Algar Seco cost?
+
Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Faro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Faro: Benagil, Marinha Beach, 7 Hanging Valleys, Algar Seco take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Faro is not rushed.
Is From Faro: Benagil, Marinha Beach, 7 Hanging Valleys, Algar Seco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 134 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Faro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Faro: Benagil, Marinha Beach, 7 Hanging Valleys, Algar Seco?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Faro: Benagil, Marinha Beach, 7 Hanging Valleys, Algar Seco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Faro: Benagil, Marinha Beach, 7 Hanging Valleys, Algar Seco?
+
Around 47 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Faro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Faro and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Faro: Benagil, Marinha Beach, 7 Hanging Valleys, Algar Seco start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Faro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Faro?
+
On Outty we rank every Faro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ria Formosa - Boat trip to the 3 Islands: Armona | Culatra Island | Lighthouse, From Faro: Benagil Cave, Marinha & Carvoeiro [Full-Day Tour], Ria Formosa Natural Park and Islands Boat Cruise from Faro. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Faro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Faro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
