We thoroughly enjoyed our SUP experience! Our guide Pouco was patient while we tried to adjust to ocean paddling versus our usual lakes and rivers. We were a small group of 4, which was an added bonus. SUP was a great way to get right inside the caves. Beautiful!

Fantastic experience! Our original paddleboard experience had to be changed due to strong swells but the company was very effective in reaching out and helping us a reschedule a kayak tour instead. Our guide Patrick was great and the tour was beautiful.

We had a great time on our SUP tour with Pouco at the beginning of October! It was fun and Pouco was really insightful about the geology and ecology of the areas we were exploring. Definitely recommend doing the early tour before it gets too busy with the boats. Also Pouco's recommendations for things to do and see in the area was great!

We had the loveliest time yesterday doing the SUP tour with Caio as our guide! The team brought everything you could need and we met at the car park at 06:30 before sunrise (definitely worth it). A brief explanation of paddle boarding as many of us had some sort of experience (we were a small group) - and then we headed off. Caio shared lots of facts about the sedimentary ‘algar’ formation and was very geologically knowledgeable. The tour took around two hours but I could have easily done another 2. Included in the fee are 4k photos which are downloadable a few hours after and they were great! We really enjoyed ourselves and couldn’t recommend Caio and the team more. Such a reasonable price for the experience, if you’re visiting the area please give it a go!

Outstanding!! Our guy Patrick was incredibly friendly and gave great instructions on paddle boarding. He was also very knowledgeable and was great at communicating with us about the history of the geology of the Algarve and the caves. A true pleasure.!

My sister and I booked the 6:30am paddle boarding with Miguel and had a great time! Despite having the early start time, it being chilly, and it just being the two of us in the group, Miguel brought a lot of energy and put big smiles on our faces throughout the entire morning. Highly recommend the early time to see the sunrise and beat the crowds!

We had the best experience with our amazing guide Patrick. Our small group both paddled through gorgeous landscapes and caves and learnt about geology and history. And thanks to his advice we had a great meal afterwards and went to the best beach we’ve seen so far in Portugal. O brigada Patrick!!

Highly recommended if you come to the Algarve. Nice guests and super helpful. Although we had no sup experience, we still enjoyed this activity enormously.

Egas was the absolute best guide ever! He made us feel instantly relaxed and it was a really fun and chilled paddle. We visited 5 caves and Egas was very knowledgeable about geology, history and ecology. He timed the caves perfectly to avoid too many tourists and took amazing pictures. Fabulous tour 10/10 and Egas was the best!
