Amazing experience with Afonso who was extremely welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He shared a lot of interesting stories with us while keeping it easy-going. The kayaking trip was gorgeous and not rushed. We had a lot of time to appreciate the beauty of the coast, go inside caves/between rocks and relax on the beach before going back to the starting point. Highly recommended!
Highlight of my trip to Portugal!

Rui was the perfect guide. He explained a lot about Portugal’s fishing culture, and the Portuguese way of life. We had an excellent day and I still cannot believe the beauty of the Arrábida national park!

Such a beautiful place and so easy to hop into a kayak with a guided tour. Pacing was great and met everyone’s needs and levels, views were amazing. Tour guide Alfonso was enthusiastic and talkative but also let people enjoy the paddle quietly too. Very organized. Took Uber from Lisbon no problem but did have more trouble getting an Uber back to Lisbon from there.
What a beautiful...
