Guided kayaking from Sesimbra through Arrábida Natural Park caves and coves. Swim at Ribeiro do Cavalo, snack on sweets, small groups.
“Tomás was an excellent guide & kept us on the right path throughout the tour. He was very welcoming, and gave great explanations of the surrounding area & different interesting facts. He also made sure everyone stuck together and waited for different pairs to catch up - so no worries if you haven’t done kayaking before. I am 5ft tall, and fit perfectly fine in the front seat. My partner is 6ft4, and just about fit in the kayak. The route of the tour was very cool, and we got to see two different caves - the latter was so magical it was as if it was from a storybook.…”

“Me and my partner both loved this experience. The tour was very organised and the guides were great fun! They were knowledgeable and took photos during the day and sent them to everyone. We went in a cave which was cool and the beach was stunning! The cool water was refreshing on the hot day. The food we had for lunch was great and there were plenty of options. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting who wants to get away from the city life for a day and get near the coast.”

Paddle past Arrábida sea caves and limestone cliffs from Sesimbra on a 3-hour guided canoe tour, with a beach break and Portuguese pastry.
“The guide, David, was super, more than you'd expect for the price. He not only showed us hidden corners, but also added some action to the tour. He even drove over and between rocks if we wanted, which was quite adventurous. We had a private tour with him, which was much better than being in a large group. Three hours of kayaking with short breaks that we could call ourselves, and a quick stop at the beach. All that for 35 euros is a dream. You cant get a better guide. Thank you for that unforgettable Tour.”

“Our guided transparent kayaking tour in Arrábida was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. The clear waters provided a unique opportunity to observe marine life up close, and the stunning scenery was breathtaking. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable. He shared interesting facts about the local life, flora and fauna, and ensured we had a safe and memorable adventure. The kayaking itself was easy and manageable for all levels of experience. The transparent bottom of the kayak allowed us to see a variety of fish. If you're looking for a fun and eco-friendly activity in Portugal, I highly recommend this tour.…”
