Top Beiras On the Water

This activity is special for the unique experience of going down the Mondego River, the largest in Portugal, between the Carvoeira dam (Penacova) and Praia Fluvial dos Palheiros / Zorro (Coimbra), on a 12km route. It stands out as the biggest tourist attraction in the country, perfect for kayaking beginners. With stunning natural surroundings, full of vegetation and birds, it also offers small rapids in the summer for an exciting touch. At 1pm, a break for food on the riverbank, providing moments of relaxation and contact with nature. This combination of incredible landscapes, excitement and conviviality makes the experience truly special and memorable for all participants.

What makes this experience different is how simple, safe, and real it feels for first-time surfers. You’ll surf directly on Praia da Barra - one of Portugal’s most beginner-friendly beaches, with a team led by a former professional surfer. Lessons take place right on the sand, not in a van or meeting point far from the ocean. We focus on small groups, clear safety briefings, and real support in the water, so you don’t feel lost or rushed. High-quality Billabong wetsuits and carefully selected boards are included, making your first waves comfortable and stress-free. After the session, you can relax, shower, and enjoy the beachfront bar, turning your lesson into a complete surf experience, not just a class.

Come experience the Ceira River Water Walk, the first of its kind in Portugal. Enjoy the landscape and the force of the water as you walk through the Ceira Valley, crossing waterfalls and smelling the forest around you. Perhaps see some animals such as trout, otters and birds of the region. This activity is accessible to everyone, whether you are looking for a physical challenge or just a fun and exciting activity. If you can't overcome any obstacle, you can always follow the path on the bank. In the activity, you will go downhill from rapids to swimming, if there is enough water, more than 10 jumps into the water from 2 to 8 meters, rope jumps on the banks and even a slide set up by Trans Serrano. We guarantee a day you will never forget! What are you waiting for? Adventure!
