What people are saying about Braga District

This trip was honestly amazing, so glad we went! We had visited Geres park a few years ago but this was such a different trip. Kayaking on the lake was really fun, lunch was delicious and getting to swim near the waterfall was fantastic! The place we swam was so secluded, no other people there just our group of 7. Would highly recommend this trip to see some beautiful natural sights! Shout out to our incredible guide Renata (probably one of the best tour guides ever). She has so much knowledge of the national park and surrounding area. The whole day was so relaxing and nothing was too much trouble for Renata, she really made the experience for us!

Our tour guide Miguel gave us a very warm welcome. Our first destination on the lake for a little kayak tour was very nice. The tour guide motivated the entire group to try the stand-up paddle board as well as the kayak. The lunch that followed was great. The food was typically Portuguese and very tasty. After lunch we drove to the waterfall. We would have to walk about 20 minutes for that (we didn't need our hiking boots). The tourist free spot by the waterfall that Miguel showed us was wonderful. Miguel went to a lot of trouble to take nice photos of all fellow travelers, which I found very attentive.

What a fabulous day out! Big thanks to Miguel who really made the trip even more memorable. He had great local knowledge, was easygoing and created a nice group dynamic. This trip was great value for money and the kayaking+ paddleboarding was the highlight. As a non-swimmer, Miguel paid extra attention to make sure I felt safe and didn't miss out on the experience. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Porto! Unfortunately we left before we could give a tip, but please accept a huge thanks from us! E&E

It was a great experience. Renata was very friendly, open and very knowledgeable about the park. So we were able to learn a lot about nature. The waterfall doesn't seem to be well known as we were there alone as a group which made the experience even better.

Beautiful day in the green with a guide, Luis, wonderful. Delicious typical meal. Swimming in a magnificent waterfall. Luis was bursting with energy and passionate about his work. Excellent driver with good music. In summary, perfect day for the 5 of us
