Magic
2h paddle ride as close as possible to the caves. Private tour since we were alone with a very friendly and considerate guide. His advice and explanations allowed us to live a real moment suspended in calm, away from the crowd in a beautiful environment. Very nice experience that we recommend 100%.

A truly immersive experience, exploring the stunning coastline
We had a wonderful experience hiring a 2 person kayak from Hugo & exploring this truly beautiful & unspoilt part of the Algarve. It’s the most relaxing & immersive way to see & explore what makes this section of coastline so spectacular & unusual. Hugo is warm, friendly & ensures that you know what to look for & how to make the most of this experience. We will definitely come back here one day & would look forward to meeting & chatting with Hugo again.

Just the best
AMAZING. If you are in the area then this is a must, if you are not in the area then travel her for it!
We took the 2 person sup canoe. Very stable, the sea was glassy calm and crystal clear, and the rock formations were incredible.
Hugo was so so helpful and friendly,
I highly recommend.
Just perfect.

The best views
One of my favorite places for sup. The coast is very beautiful and full of places that you cannot access otherwise. I repeat whenever I have the opportunity, the availability and friendliness are incredible :)

Fantastic Experience!
Had a fantastic time stand up paddle boarding around beautiful praia do alemão and João de arens. We were complete beginners but our lovely guide Hugo was very patient and helpful and we got the hang of it by the end! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the area, safely navigating us around the rocks and through some caves and tunnels taking into account the sea conditions. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful SUP-experience visiting beaches and caves
Wonderful experience I would absolutely recommend. Seeing beaches and caves you cannot access on foot. Helpful and easy to communicate with personnel.
