Meeting point

The road to the beach is a dirt road, when you are close to the ocean you probably can see a big white Mercedes Sprinter van on the parking. That's us! The guides will be wearing white t-shirts with the Algarviews logo on it.

Know before you go

  • Kayaking requires a moderate level of fitness, even though you are gonna partner with someone as the kayaks are double, it would be better if you are physically active.
  • Sometimes if it's windy it can get quite cold in the ocean when you are wet, especially if it is an early morning or a late afternoon tour. It would be better to bring a rain coat or a windbreaker if you feel cold easily.
  • Spending 2 hours off shore may be tough for some people but we promise to make it as fun as it gets. We do several small stops along the tour so you have time to drink some water, take some pictures or have a little snack, all this in the presence of some breathtaking landscape.

Ein super Erlebnis!!😍. Wir waren in weniger bekannten Algarven (Höhlen) und konnten diese ganz alleine geniessen ohne Touristenmassen😍. Man kann auch in die Algarven hineingehen und alles in Ruhe anschauen. Wir sind nicht zu den Benagil Höhlen und es hat sich mehr als gelohnt. Wir haben als einzige die Tour gebucht, deshalb war es wie eine Privat Tour. Diogo ist ein SUPER Guide es war ein wunderschöner Ausflug. Eine Banane sowie ein Wasser und Wasserbags und Handyhülle sind inbegriffen💪🏻. Es ist noch ein neues aber familiäres Unternehmen, welche eine super Arbeit leisten😊.

This was the best trip of our holiday!! I knew the coastline of algarve is beautiful but this trip was way more better than I experted. We made the trip with our family of 2 adults and 2 children (8 and 11 years) The kayaks were very comfortabel and Diogo was very helpful with helping with the kids and kayaks all the time. We were shocked a day earlier when we visites the famous benagil caves bij Little boat so we dont want to go kayakking here. But the secret beaches and the special caves Diogo showed us were really amazing. Especially because we were there alone with our family. Thanks for making this special memories for us . On our request we wanted to visited a special beach too (our wedding beach ❤️) it was no problem to go there for Diogo and it made our day a ten plus!

Tolle Tour zur verschiedenen abgelegenen Höhlen und Stränden. Unser Guide Diogo hat uns alles gezeigt und war super freundlich. Die Ausrüstung, sowie die Kajaks waren quasi neu und somit gut in Schuss. Top Tour, abseits der Touristenströme! Ein absolutes Highlight unseres Urlaubs in Portugal.
