Best experience in Lagoa de Obidos!
Two families with kids, we arranged a tour in kayak on the lagoa.
It was very amazing, a real surprise!
Our guide was so professional and caring, he let us see many species of birds and molluscs, crabs and clams.
We had a wonderful tour as always accompanied by our guide.
Highly recommended!!

Great family day out on the lagoon
Family of 5 from Ireland, had a great half day kayak tour of the lagoon with Miguel. We all had fun and enjoyed learning about the marine biology from Miguel’s expertise. It was also nice how Miguel was able to get the local fisherman to chat to us and explain how they did their work. Highly recommend it for a family day out, felt very safe at all times - even though we have very little experience with kayaks. Thanks Miguel.

Great experience with a local that we will be talking about for a long time.
If you want to have an experience with a local where you get to see something off the beaten path, you should definitely take this tour! Miguel is a great guide who puts an incredible amount of heart and soul into his work and wants to preserve this lagoon and area and spread its significance. Kayaking was a lot of fun, and what we learned and saw was simply great!

Kayak hire
We had such a fantastic experience and loved hiring kayaks. It was a perfect session in the lagoon and easy to navigate with our children. They were aged 6 and 10. The operator was very knowledgeable and communication was excellent.

Educational and sports walk
Kayaking tour on Obidos Lagoon.
After the safety and technical instructions, we leave with the guide to discover the fauna and flora of the lagoon.
The guide is French-speaking, and has a good grasp of his subject. He brings his explanations to life, and it's a pleasure to listen to him.
A walk with family or friends to discover the ecosystem of the lagoon while paddling from one spot to another.

Kayak adventure @ 77
We shared a wonderful afternoon with Miguel on the lagoon in kayaks having never done this before. Miguel’s knowledge of the lagoon, sea life & history was very interesting. Even my 77 year old mum coped under his guidance and we felt very safe. Will definitely be booking more trips. Thanks Miguel.

Brilliant kayak trip for nature-lovers
Miguel explained how to manage the kayak and the route we would take, then we had a really fun time taking our kayaks around the lagoon. We went across to a small island and explored the shorelines there, Miguel showed us some of the sea life such as green crabs, hermit crabs, molluscs, seaweed, samphire, and told us about some of the other sea life he had seen in the lagoon. He explained the history of the lagoon including his own research into the historic names used by the fishermen and the local customs and traditions, he was also able to show us the traditional fishing boats and a clam-diver on the Obidos shore. He was really knowledgeable and fun to listen to and he made it interesting for all of the kids on the trip. Would definitely recommend this and would love to do it again.
