We had a wonderful kayak tour alongside the coast together with our excellent guide Ines, a trained and very sympathetic tourist guide.

Cannot go wrong with this experience, the location, the knowledge of guides, and the quality of the equipment. Great for beginners or veterans.

Guide was helpful, patient, and safety minded. Kayaking on the Rio Tejo with the wind and water hitting us in the face was a highlight of the trip. I wanted to book another later that week…we had other plans though.

Our guide Lucas was so friendly and knowledgable. It was a windy day but we managed to kayak on both the river and the sea. It was great to do something different on our city break. The marina was a lovely place to chill out both before for lunch and after for a drink or two.

This was such a great experience, the guides are also so helpful and so patient with first timers :)

Pedro was a very good guide and teacher and made the kayaking really fun and safe. Three of us had never tried kayaking before. We all enjoyed it and would recommend Bork.

Raquel was so awesome, fun, and by the end of the tour became my new friend in Lisboa. Such a fun day in the water and getting to know the city! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cool tour.

Amazing experience. We went there for a stag do. Raquel was our guide. We had a lot of fun, thanks to her! No doubts, if we come back, we would like Raquel to be our guide again

This was good fun. Hard work but a nice opportunity to get out on the water. The instructors were friendly and patient and took some funny photos which was a bonus! My friend was a weak swimmer but the kayak was very stable on the water even in stronger currents. We were originally going to book an all day kayaking activity but so glad we booked this short and sweet option because it is a WORK OUT!! lols! No need to panic purchase flip-flops if you don't have them. I found it easier to kayak barefoot. PS: make sure to adjust the straps on the backrest to suit your comfort when sitting upright!

Very friendly and helpful instructors. The shop was easy to find and the girls made it fun, we had a great time!

BORK Kayak & Outdoor Centre are very friendly and welcoming team. They have proper equipment to organise kayaking activity.
We got delayed on the way, because of the railway strike action, but the company still accommodated us.
The only exaggeration in the activity description is a phrase "tour of Lisbon’s waterfront" - we were quite away from Lisbon.
Jonathan_B, Jul 2022
It was a lot of fun. We were disappointed that the guide took pictures of us and promised to send them but we never received them.
Teri_G, Jun 2022
Knowledgeable guide. We had a good experience. Would recommend the company to others that visit Lisbon.
Lindsey_M, Jun 2022
So much fun! Raquel is the loveliest guide and have us first timers some great tips. We were also given some great pictures. We will be back :)

Fabulous experience with a wonderful guide and intern. Couldn’t have loved it more. Nothing better than being escorted by handsome, knowledgeable guides. They were extremely helpful and entertaining. As a dolor traveler, I appreciate the care and experience.

The tour guides were great and very accommodating. We had a bit of a slow start due to the foot pedals not working at first, but after they were fixed, we were on our way and still had roughly a 2 hour trip as promised. It was good to have a new experience in Lisbon and I would definitely do it again!
Jemma_P, Sep 2021
We ventured out of the city to kayak and then spent time at the beach afterwards which was an unplanned bonus. It was so lovely to be chilled out on the water. Racquel was a fabulous guide and the other people on our trip were lovely too. Can’t recommend this enough! It’s a bit of a trek out of the city centre but we used a Bolt for around €11 each way. Well worth it.

It,s a nice way to see some part of Lissabon from a other angle. The water. Feel the seabrease, look for dolfins or orther fish.
Emma_J, Jun 2021
The wind was not in our favour but the guides were extremely friendly and made the experience a lot better.
Petra, Aug 2020
It's amazing and a lot of fun! Great tour guide and everything was very safe! We loved the relaxing atmosphere and the beautiful landscape.

We had an excellent kayaking trip. Our guide, Raquel, was very good about maintaining safety, and teaching us the basics. The coastline was very pretty. Everyone had a good time from teenagers to adult.
Yvonne_D, Jun 2019
The Kajaktour was a great experience. The Team is super helpful and fun. They explain everything in detail before you go out so everybody with less or no experience fells comfortable and safe. During the Tour they tell you a lot about the surrounding and the history of the area and we had the option to go into the water which was my personal highlight of the tour.
I would highly recommend to put the kajaktour on your list if your coming to lisbon.

We had some difficulties finding the location but they waited for us two guides and just the two of us very stable random. Started toward the ocean but little too robust so went up river. They arranged a taxi for our return after a nice beer break on the pier. Shorty wet suits provided and shower available
Tammy_N, Sep 2018
This was very fun. I was the only one on this particular tour but the guide was informative and patient in directing me on how to steer the kayak. A very memorable experience!
Olivia H, Jun 2018
We had a delayed flight the day of our tour and tried to change the tour to the next day. They would not let us and no refund.
