Tour Description

We'll meet at the indicated time at the port of Alvor and, from there, we'll set sail aboard the Frontino. This vintage boat was built in 1957 by hand!

After a cruise along the Algarve coastline of approximately 50 minutes, we'll reach the area of Praia João de Arens and Praia do Va, two of the most beautiful beaches in the south of Portugal. Upon arrival at these beaches, we'll get out of the Frontino to hop into kayaks and explore these beaches.

Along this route, in which we'll paddle for an hour, we'll discover different coves, deserted beaches and sea caves located in the area. Many of the caves are only accessible by sea in small boats, so we'll enjoy a unique perspective from the kayaks.

Additionally, we'll make a brief stop of about 10 minutes in one of the coves along the route so that those who wish can enjoy a refreshing swim in the Atlantic Ocean. Do you fancy taking a dip in the waters of the Algarve?

Finally, we'll return to the original boat for a 50-minute trip back to the departure pier, where we'll conclude this 3-hour activity.
