Description
These will be the best memories of your holidays, we promise :) This tour is conducted for small groups (maximum 10 people) by an experienced and professional guide. Get ready to explore the Algarve Caves and also some others natural treasures hidden along the wonderful Algarve coast. During 2 amazing hours, we will enjoy a unique kayak experience, visiting and exploring the nearest caves (about 3 to 4 caves) and some wild beaches with unspeakable beauty, without mass tourism, only you. You will see some fish in the crystal clear waters, you will be dazzled by the interior of the caves where you will explore them and rest on the wild beaches. Throughout the experience of discovering the caves your guide will explain to you our culture, the name and history of the caves and beaches, and also with the deep deep knowledge of geology of your guide, you will learn about how caves are formed, fossils, and the different layers of aged limestone and maybe we find some hidden treasure :)

Epic Kayak Tour
What an amazing few hours out at sea! To share it with my eldest son too at quite an emotional time for the family, is something I will always remember. Pedro our guide was impeccable, and so polite. He always made sure we were safe, and gave us really good insight into the history of the caves. Will definitely recommend this experience.

Disappointed
Paid $139AUD for 3 adults cave kayak tour from Armacao De Piera. We had to pay for a taxi both ways from Lagos to get there anly find out that our kayak tour was canceled. I did not recieve a phonecall or message at any time prior to the cancellation.

Excellent experience
We had an excellent tour, with a very good guide. Daniel was friendly, and very well disposed. We definitely recommend and would come back again.

Fantastic time
Our tour guide Diogio was fantastic, full of information and made it a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this tour especially with our guide.
S
Unforgettable experience
2h tour with a very dynamic guide. Beautiful views. We could get into the caves. I recommend going to people who have done kayak before and good physical condition.
V
Excellent experience
We booked a kayak tour 70€ for two persons. It was one of the best journeys I ever had in my life. Diogo did a really good job. We felt safe every second of our trip. He showed us beautiful caves and beaches. Also he gave us a lot of extra information about the locations we visited. But if you are going to book this, be aware that it can be exhausting to paddle. It's definitely a sport activity.

Must do
I would definitely recommend this trip!!! Our guide Diogo was amazing and showed us some amazing caves and let us explore the area without feeling rushed. We have some amazing photos thanks to this trip.

Superb kayak tour with Giogio
We had a wonderful experience with Giogio as our guide. He took his time for everything and we were on our way for 3 hours to spot the beautiful spots of the Algarve where you normally don't go. His enthusiasm was infectious! Thanks again for the trip with the kayak. Greetings Arjan Jannie and the kids
