Description
This experience gives you the freedom to explore Ferragudo from the water, without joining a guided group. The route starts on the calm Arade River, close to our shop, making it easy and accessible even for beginners. You can enjoy views of Ferragudo village, São João do Arade Fort, Praia Grande and quiet river beaches at your own pace. When sea conditions allow, the adventure can continue towards the ocean, passing Pintadinho Beach, Ponta do Altar Lighthouse and a beautiful sea cave with crystal-clear water. Before you start, our team will explain the route, safety rules and local tips, so you can enjoy a safe and independent kayak or SUP experience in Ferragudo.

Brilliant kayak hire with a personal touch
We hired two kayaks this morning from the lovely team at Flow, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were really responsive on WhatsApp and kindly reserved the kayaks for us in advance. When we arrived, they provided everything we needed — a clear map, phone holders, water bags, and all the safety gear — and even helped us down to the water’s edge, which is right by their shop. It has such a friendly, family feel, and you can tell how proud they are of their business — and rightly so! If we’re ever back this way, we’ll definitely be returning. Thanks so much!

LLocal Business – Friendly, Fun and Professional!
We had a fantastic experience with this lovely small business in Ferragudo, run by two super friendly and helpful young women. They offer kayak, stand-up paddle board, and bicycle rentals – perfect for exploring the beautiful coastline and countryside around Ferragudo. Everything was well organized and easy from start to finish. The equipment was in great condition, and they gave us great tips on where to go and what to see. It really felt personal and welcoming – so much better than dealing with a big rental company! Highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxed, local experience with great service. We’ll definitely be back!

Super friendly top rental company with quality stuff
A sup board rented on the last day of our holiday. Got a good explanation. Board, paddle, pump in backpack of very good quality. Complete with life jacket and waterproof bag for your phone etc. Went to Playa Grande and had a wonderful day. If we had done this earlier in the holiday, we would have rented a board much more often and we would have gone for the bikes as well. If we are around again, we will definitely be back! Super friendly nice lady who arranges everything for you quickly.

Fantastic experience! Highly recommend
Fab communication on a live chat to book. Lovely staff to greet us and explain the basics. Helped to carry our boards to the start of the tour. Had great fun on the water for a few hours!

Great Equipment Fabulous Service
What an awesome shop! The team helped me plan when was best to come for a self guided tour on the SUPs. Check in was smooth and easy. Great reco on where to go based on our experiance level. The equipment was in very good shape. I love the live chat feature too...recommended not to come on a specific day because the winds were going to make for a harder paddle. Will come back to rent bikes and scooters for the kids when we return.

SUP, first time and will be back.
We rented SUP and they gave us the best tour we could possible imagine. In a trip of 12 days, we did two trips. Hope to be back next summer do visit more things. They are two locals that know all the good places.
