We booked the 9 AM tour and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Finding the beach and activity center was simple and straightforward, and everything was well organized from the start. The instructors were incredibly friendly, making us feel comfortable right away, and even shared some fun bits of local geography along the way.
The kayaking itself was smooth and enjoyable—the waters were calm, spacious, and perfect for beginners or anyone looking to relax and take in the scenery. One of the highlights was that the team took photos of us during the excursion and kindly emailed them the same day, which was such a thoughtful touch.
Overall, the entire excursion was fantastic—fun, relaxing, and memorable. I’d absolutely do it again and highly recommend it to friends and family. Don’t overthink it—just book it!

We had a fantastic experience on our kayaking trip! There were five of us, with the youngest being 5 years old. The guys were great, our 5 year old wanted to paddle too, so the boat they had that followed along for everyone's safety kept an eye on him in case he got tired (which he inevitably did), this was so they could put his paddle on the boat. They were encouraging to everyone (especially our 5 year old who they kept giving a thumbs up to) and gave clear instructions to everyone in the briefing before getting on the kayaks.
The experience of being out in the water was amazing, we opted for an early session. They caves and beach were great, and in general is an absolutely stunning coastline. The guys were informative and gave a brief history about some of the sights/coastline, they were also funny, friendly and curtuous throughout the experience. The free photos were sent that evening and turned out great.
If you're in the Algarve and want an activity to do with the family, then choose this one, you won't regret it!

Really fun activity to do with your partner or friends. No prior experience needed. We felt super safe and looked after by our guides. The guides were really fun and friendly.. it was really cool kayaking through the caves and stopping at mid point at a beach for a break. Bring a swimsuit! And wear it under your clothes so you can go into the sea during the break. Bring a waterproof phone case if you want to bring your phone or your phone is safe being left at the base hut... Wear shorts that are comfortable and that you don't mind getting wet. Great experience! I think we love kayaking now and would definitely do again

A carefree but safe experience we would recommend this to anyone with a sense of adventure the staff were relaxed and friendly
Catherine_H, Jul 2026
Great experience, got sorted quickly before setting off in kayak. 2 guys with us, one in speed boat and another on an SUP. Very safe. Got to go through some rocky caves and swim in the sea.
Regina_K, Jun 2026
The staff was super friendly and informative. The place was easy to find on the beach and we felt safe and well taken are of. The day we booked the waves were rough so be warned, physical endurance is needed. A few people including us had to get towed a few times. The beach where the tour is lo rated is great you can stay and swim and there is a restaurant for food, drinks or snacks.
Jay_M, Jun 2026
We really enjoyed the day. Our tour guides were very informative and took safety seriously. They took some great photos of us which were emailed to us later that day. It was great value for money, we had a great day
Haley_S, Jun 2026
Great route, fabulous tour guides, beautiful scenes. Very accessible from a stunning beach then visiting other tik too famous beaches with a challenge of kayaking through the caves
Alex_D, May 2026
A great adventure as you kayak the coastline and through a cave. Get to see several beautiful beaches. Antonio, our tour guide was great! He took photos which he later shared via email 😀
Jordana_N, May 2026
So much fun! The guides were fun and informative! They provided everything we needed. Pictures were taken by the guides, but I still brought my camera.
Kim_D, Apr 2026
What an excellent little trip out
I went with my 16 yr old son
Felt completely safe and well looked after
The boys worked really hard to make sure all was smooth
Thoroughly enjoyed it and would absolutely recommend
We were looking for something a little bit different
Kerry_L, Apr 2026
Well organised and fun. Great guides, was a bit wavy inland but they gave great instructions on how to get out and made it fun!
Kim_L, Apr 2026
Awesome experience - very fun and enjoyed being a bit separate from larger groups like at benagil cave. We got to go through small caves
Rob_L, Mar 2026
Really neat sea caves. Not Benagil Cave but also not nearly as busy. Seeing secluded beaches. great trip. Kid friendly.
Caitlyn_L, Mar 2026
First time kayaking and THE BEST experience ever!! Instructors were very patient with everyone and such a fun activity to do in Albufeira!
Victoria_L, Mar 2026
A beautiful experience, the coast line is stunning & guides made sure we were all looked after. It is hard work and my arms got tired after about an hour so you need to be prepared to work hard if you are on your own with a child! Sea was mostly calm and I would absolutely do this again! You meet at the beach and can leave belongings in the hut before setting off. You will get wet so bring towel. Guides took photos during the trip which was lovely. 10/10 experience
Basanta_S, Dec 2025
It was a very enjoyable experience, kayaking along the coastline and seeing all the wonderful caves and beaches.
The instructors were very friendly and helpful and also took many great pictures that they shared afterwards.
A brilliant experience I highly recommend.
Tom_D, Oct 2025
It was an awesome experience, the best way to see the landscape in the caves. The guide was excellent. Discussing the fish and biology and local law of the area.

If you've kayaked before, you'll love it; Beyond the majesty of your surroundings - in the water, on the shore, in the sky - while the water's barely-choppy, the tour does have it's moments that you'll appreciate. If you're a newbie or lightly-seasoned, you'll find as my wife did that it's remarkably intuitive, particularly if you're paired in a two-seater with a more experienced kayaker; The only challenge you may experience might be learning that your sense of rhthym (in terms of coordinating strokes between) needs work, but honestly, it's really like dancing, again, intuitive. The guides were pleasant and confident and easily and naturally put any nerves to rest, with humor, banter, guidance and a running narrative of landmarks, etc. My wife and I couldn't recommend the tour more; While Tammi (this is Bill writing this, by) was a tad nervous beforehand, she's done nothing but rave about the experience since. P.S. It's remarkably affordable.
Yorkshire_L, Oct 2025
Very friendly and informative guides! They made us feel very welcome and took pictures during the tour
Mel_F, Oct 2025
My husband and I have just done this kayaking trip and we loved it! We were given life jackets and clear instructions for safety purposes before being allowed on the kayak. Three guides took us out to sea and were with us the whole 2 hours. They stop along the the coast line and point out caves and hidden beaches. They also take photos of you, so you can leave your camera/phones behind. They have already sent them through to us. I can highly recommend this trip. We will definitely be doing it again.
deb_M, Oct 2025
Great experience! Our guides were amazing. Highly recommend this experience. The beaches were beautiful.
Niamh_Q, Oct 2025
We done the kayaks, they were amazing and staff was very helpful and friendly
Get to do the kayaks yourself with the guides close by and the views are spectacular, definitely do not miss out
Maureen_H, Sep 2025
Great tour that is not too long or too short. Beautiful beaches and caves. The guides were awesome!!
Marco_R, Sep 2025
Very good, professional and friendly people. I think it is a nice and safe experience for everyone, kids, adults, boys and girls.
Daniel_M, Sep 2025
Slightly challenging and super fun. The guys in charge were super friendly and professional would definitely do it again.
Evelyn_E, Sep 2025
Ebo and Tomas were excellent guides. We enjoyed their enthusiasm and knowledge of the location. The kayaking was fun and a great time was had by all in our group!!
Stephen_B, Sep 2025
Easy to book and very professional set up. 2 guides accompanied the kayaks (mostly first time kayakers) who were friendly and helpful. Went into caves and onto beaches accessible only from the sea. I would recommend going on this trip.
Habib_B, Sep 2025
We had a wonderful kayaking tour! Everything was very well organized and smooth from start to finish. Shiko was an amazing guide and monitor — super friendly, attentive, and fun to be around. We really enjoyed the vibes, the great chats along the way, and of course the beautiful views. The three of us absolutely loved the experience!
