Excellent kayak tour. Instructors were very attentive during the tour. They are well experienced and I had no issues. I did get sea sick while on the tour and unfortunately had to cut it short. The tour guides gladly brought me back to shore on the boat. I would highly recommend this tour as it was all in all Spectacular!

We booked an early morning tour on a Saturday and ended up being the only people for the tour! Our tour guide, Ricardo, was amazing and provided a great tour of the caves and coastline. The tour stopped at a nice beach and we were able to walk up on top of the headland for some great views. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone in the Albufeira area!! Thank you!

I did this tour with my 10 year old son. We had quite a swell and in a cave we had to fight quite a bit with the waves. I would have thought that you also take a real break, but that wasn't the case. Definitely worth an experience. Sore muscles and a blister on the hand say hello 24 hours later 😆
