Jack is a very helpful guide. He can accommodate your needs very well and he would ask the group to take photos for each other. He knows all the spots where good pictures can be taken.

An unforgettable experience! Our guide Diogo is passionate about the Algars, and took the time to explain their biodiversity and history. A big thank you to him and his team. I highly recommend it! A must-do if you're coming to the Algarves. Book with them, fun guaranteed!! ☀️❤️🤙🏼

Know before you go

  • Kayaking requires a moderate level of fitness. Even though you will partner with someone, as the kayaks are double, it would be better if you are physically active
  • When it's windy it can get quite cold in the ocean, especially with early-morning or late-afternoon tours. Please bring a raincoat or a windbreaker if you get cold easily
  • While spending 2 hours offshore may be tough for some people, there are several small stops along the tour so you have time to drink some water, take some pictures, or have a little snack

We had an such an awesome time kayaking with Diogo. Hands down this is the highlight of our time in Algarve. They are very safety conscious and highly professional. We will definitely book them again next time we re back in the area and recommend them to all our friends coming to Algarve.
