About the tour

No experience needed! Our tours are designed for all levels. Before starting, our guides will provide all the necessary instructions and accompany you throughout the activity.
We recommend bringing swimwear, sunscreen, a hat or cap, fresh water, a towel, and a change of dry clothes, as you will get wet during the activity.
All necessary equipment: rigid kayak, paddles, life jacket, waterproof bag for your belongings, and a safe place to leave items you do not wish to take on the water.
Yes, you can enter the cave with the kayak and take photos inside. However, disembarking on the beach inside the cave is not allowed due to regulations imposed by the Port Authority of Portimão since August 14, 2024, for environmental preservation and visitor safety.
Our tours last between 1.5 and 2 hours, including the briefing, paddling, and photo stops.
Of course! Our guides will point out the best photo spots and help you take pictures. We recommend bringing a waterproof phone case. You can also purchase one at our meeting point.
Safety is our top priority. If conditions are not safe, we will offer you the option to reschedule the tour or receive a full refund without any penalty.
Yes, all our tours include personal accident and liability insurance.
You can book directly through our website. You can also contact us via WhatsApp, phone call, or email if you need help with your reservation.
Yes, we offer discounts for groups of 8 or more people. Contact us to receive a personalized offer.

Yes, children from 5 years old can join, always accompanied by an adult. We have double kayaks that are ideal for families.
There is no specific maximum age. However, if you are older and suffer from back pain or have reduced mobility, please contact us before booking.
Yes. All participants must wear life jackets, and our guides clearly explain all safety procedures. You will always be accompanied and assisted on the water.
You can participate up to the fourth month of pregnancy, provided sea conditions are favorable. From the fifth month onward, for safety reasons, we do not recommend the activity.
You don't need to be an athlete but should have basic mobility and be willing to paddle for about two hours. You won’t need to carry heavy equipment — our guides will help you with everything. If you have any specific health conditions, please contact us so we can assess together if the tour is suitable for you.
We work with small groups to offer a more personalized, safe, and enjoyable experience. This way, we can give individual attention, assist with photos, and ensure a relaxed atmosphere throughout the activity.
While we love animals, unfortunately, we do not allow pets on our tours. The open sea, with its waves and changing conditions, can be very stressful for them. We also believe in showing deep respect for the ocean: during the tour, our focus must remain on the safety of all participants, without distractions. Thank you for your understanding!
