Description

Explore the Algarve's beautiful coast and marvel at its unique limestone formations with this brilliant kayak tour in Albufeira!

Kayak Tour of Albufeira

At the time of your choice, we'll meet up at the Albufeira Marina and then board a catamaran that'll take us to Castelo beach in just 15 minutes. Then it'll be time to explore the beautiful Algarve coast in a kayak!

We'll start a route through caves, bays, natural arches, and steep cliffs – a stunning sight! Also, if the weather is good, we'll stop at an idyllic cove to relax on the sand and take a refreshing dip.

After this break, we'll head back to the catamaran to return. On the way, we'll stop so you can jump into the water and say goodbye to the Atlantic in the best way. If you're lucky, we may even see schools of tuna or mackerel!

After 2.5 hours of experience, the activity concludes back at the starting point.

La ruta fue muy bien, recorrimos cuevas y entornos muy bonitos y se hizo muy amena. Tuvimos la posibilidad de bañarnos en una cala y también saltar desde el barco y bañarnos en mitad del mar. La recomendamos si os gusta hacer kayak! Mención especial a los guías Victor , Miguel y el capitán Hugo, por su simpatía y disposición en todo momento. Translate this opinion into English.

The route was very good, we went through caves and very beautiful surroundings and it was very enjoyable. We had the chance to swim in a cove and also jump off the boat and swim in the middle of the sea. We recommend it if you like kayaking! Special mention to the guides Victor, Miguel and Captain Hugo, for their friendliness and willingness at all times. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy buena Los monitores muy apañados El grupo muy bien en número de personas Nos han dejado bañarnos varias veces Nos han explicado muy bien, íbamos con niños de 14 y 12 y les ha encantado Pese a la hora, de 13:30 a 16 no hemos pasado calor, el mar refresca Puedes llevar un bolso de playa con toallas, bocadillos y ropa seca para después, te dejan dejarlo en el barco Para el paseo en cayak vas en bañador con gorra y poco más. No olvidar darse crema solar antes de subir Translate this opinion into English.

Very good The instructors were very good The group was very good in terms of number of people They let us bathe several times They explained it to us very well, we went with children aged 14 and 12 and they loved it Despite the time, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. After the heat, the sea cools down. You can bring a beach bag with towels, snacks and dry clothes for later, they let you leave it on the boat. For the kayak ride you go in a swimsuit with a cap and little else. Don't forget to apply sunscreen before climbing Opinion translated. Show original.

Han contactado con nosotros para cambiar la fecha debido a las condiciones del mar. Nos avisaron por mensaje a través de la App un par de horas antes y ya estábamos en el sitio para comer, algo que podrían haber mejorado (al no tener respuesta el día anterior vía llamada, podrían mandar el mensaje por la App o mandar un whatsapp) Sin embargo, la experiencia fue muy buena! En el barco daban la posibilidad de que un fotógrafo te sacase fotos y después te las manda al e-mail por 10€ persona. Translate this opinion into English.

They have contacted us to change the date due to sea conditions. They notified us by message through the App a couple of hours before and we were already at the place to eat, something that could have been improved (since there was no response the day before via call, they could send the message through the App or send a WhatsApp ) However, the experience was very good! On the boat they gave the possibility for a photographer to take photos of you and then send them to your e-mail for €10 person. Opinion translated. Show original.

Dia agradable por el agua, conociendo la costa rocosa y sus cuevas. Algo corto, podria ser mas ameno por parte de los guias. Y como "pequeña reclamación" pero sin mucha importancia, en la rfeserva ponia que se nos llevaba en catamaran y no fue asi, fue una barca bein equipada y tambien que el guia sería de habla en español cosa que no fue, pero se entiende bien el portugues y mas cuando el guia se esforzabda y hablaba en un portuñol a los que eramos españoles y al resto en ingles. Translate this opinion into English.

Pleasant day by the water, knowing the rocky coast and its caves. Something short, could be more enjoyable by the guides. And as a "small claim" but without much importance, in the reserve I stated that we were taken by catamaran and it was not like that, it was a well-equipped boat and also that the guide would speak Spanish, which was not, but it is well understood the Portuguese and more when the guide made an effort and spoke in a portuñol to those of us who were Spanish and to the rest in English.

Si es tu primera vez haciendo Kayak, te recomiendo que te informes de los movimientos básicos antes de lanzarte en esta excursión. No explican nada, ni como utilizar el remo, ni que hacer en caso de que no te encuentres bien. La excursión como tal bien, pasas por dos cuevas, bonitas pero pequeñas. Y el resto de la excursión es por mar rodeando la costa. Hacéis una parada en una playa (En mi caso estuvo muy sucia y llena de barcos turistas) Jonathan, el monitor, fue muy amable! Translate this opinion into English.

If it is your first time doing Kayak, I recommend that you inform yourself of the basic movements before embarking on this excursion. They don't explain anything, neither how to use the oar, nor what to do in case you don't feel well. The excursion as such is fine, you go through two caves, beautiful but small. And the rest of the excursion is by sea surrounding the coast. You make a stop at a beach (in my case it was very dirty and full of tourist boats) Jonathan, the monitor, was very kind!
