Great experience - I had a great time kayaking along the river with Joao. I was the only one on the kayak tour, which I found really nice. Joao was great with his explanations, I had a really good time. I wouldn’t hesitate to do this again, great for beginners or intermediate :)

A wonderful way to spend a few hours & you get to see the Ria Formosa from a different perspective - The tour is the perfect length and takes you along different routes there & back so you see lots of the Ria Formosa. João had lots of interesting information about things along the Ria and we even saw flamingos! I would definitely recommend trying it out.

A wonderful salty experience - Wonderful experience! I did the kayak tour. The tour guide, João, very clearly explained (in English) the basics of operating a kayak, then many things about the lagoon, the tides and currents, local life tips and recommandations etc. The team and premises were on point. I booked from their booth on the port of Faro and I was very professionally received there as well. A wonderful salty experience from the beginning to the end ! Thank you again ❤️

Sup tour - Me and my husband just spent the most wonderful morning having Sup Tour with Instructor Melinho who gave us detailed lesson about using Sup, Portuguese culture and also provided us plenty of tips to enjoy our trip in Algarve. Can’t expect more!

SUP tour - Great teaching on how to use the SUP. Stop half way for a coffee and a swim- lovely! Definitely worth doing.

Good - Kids loved the trip. Guide was friendly and knowledgable. However, the group included stand up paddle boarders which slowed down my kids experience in kayaks. As a company I n future, do Kayaks or SUP - not both at the same time.

Top tip:- Find another provider - When we arrived we were sent up to a balcony to wait for the session to start at 3 even though we had been told to arrive 15 minutes early. The staff were brusque and unhelpful, there was nowhere to change and no secure storage offered for our things. The SUP was ok but did not have a lease. There was no safety briefing and the buoyancy aids were in a very poor state. The route of the tour was good but the 'instructor' made no effort to engage and make the session fun and informative. I enjoyed it anyway but had a much more enjoyable experience for the same price in Albuferia on kayaks the next day ( 3 staff, a safety boat, drinks for the guests and really interested and interesting guides - brilliant)
