Fab time Kayaking

Erika our guide gave us a fabulous day out in the kayaks She was friendly, knowledgable and patient with us! Some of our group were novice and some were experienced. She guided us all there and back with expertise. She took us into beautiful caves and allowed us to stop and swim in the beautiful crystal clear waters if we wanted to. A trip to remember for sure!

We did this tour as a group who have kayaked before but with various amounts of experience and fitness levels and it was very accommodating. The transfer was also very good! Saved us lots of time. Would do again.

An absolute must, with a great guide! And a very good tip to explore the area, where you then have a very nice view.

Great for families with teenagers

Lovely day with guide Naiara touring gently along the coast, looking for fish, caves, divers, coasteerers, fishermen and snorkelers. Highlight was nipping into the caves, and watching a police boat sweeping the coast for drug runners. Tips… everything will get wet. BORK shop has storage for small items and shoes. Bring extra snacks and water.

Great day on the water!

We had a great time kayaking with the Bork crew — even some rain when we set out couldn’t dampen our spirits. Our guide Lukas was helpful and informative, and we got a unique vantage point on some really beautiful spots in Sesimbra. We also really appreciated the pick up from Lisbon.

Explore the coast along the Parque Natural da Arrábida

Nice way to explore the coast and find a quiet beach with great views. We spent around 3 hours kayaking, including stopping off for a break at a beach. Nice views of the cliffs and kayaked into small caves and caverns. Lovely family day out. Staff friendly. Come changed as there are no changing rooms, just outdoor showers to wash down at the end of the trip. There are also no lockers, so don’t take valuables.
