Full description

Board a catamaran at Albufeira marina for the short sail to Castelo Beach and the start of this 2.5-hour tour. Head out by kayak with your guide to see the bays, beaches and caves along the coastline. If the waters are calm enough, you’ll stop at a small deserted beach to enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea. After the guided portion of the tour, board the catamaran again and take another swim before returning to the marina. This kayak tour is meant to be relaxing but does require some physical effort. If at any time you wish to return to the catamaran, it will always be nearby.

Very simple kayak excursion that I would recommend also doing as a family. The support boat brings you with the kayaks to the start of the excursion. There they descend to the sea with the kayaks, and the group is accompanied at all times by the guide (in our case also by kayak). The support boat is always close by in case someone gets tired, which is why I recommend it to families as well. Impressive landscapes, crystal clear waters, contact with nature and Jonatan, our guide, always attentive to everything. We even entered the boat after the excursion riding in our own kayak! Swim in a crystal-clear beach halfway through the excursion to rest, and swim from the boat. What more could you want?

Simply wonderful!

Best tour in our whole vacation! Equipment was clean, kayaks were easy to manage, the path we took was lovely, whole trip was fun and all the guides were helpful and patient. I’m somewhat afraid of water, but this was quite enjoyable. Our guides had a very contagious pleasant and relaxed attitude. You can’t help but enjoy the trip!
