Recommendations for advanced small group Benagil kayak tour

Any recommendations for an operator with single kayaks suitable for an experienced kayaker? Most of what I am finding is beginner/tourist oriented. Staying in Carvoeiro so ideally departing from there.

Update: I did a sunrise trip with Secrets. Only 3 of us, so I did end up with my own boat. We were the first and only group at the cave. Definitely recommend a sunrise trip as on the way back there were a lot of people heading out even in the shoulder season.

If you are an experienced kayaker you might find further west more interesting than the few hundred metres from Benagil beach to the cave. https://www.seakayakingsagres.com/ does tours, including custom ones if there are a few of you.

Or, given you know what you are doing, hire something inflatable from Decathlon and explore yourself. Lots of nice scenery between Carvoeiro and Benagil.

We looked into this but ended up taking a kayaking trip at ponte de Piedade instead. We hiked by the Benagil caves and it was crazy busy and looked much less fun than Ponte de Piedade

You can rent a Sup and just paddle there yourself ?
