Great Equipment Fabulous Service - What an awesome shop! The team helped me plan when was best to come for a self guided tour on the SUPs. Check in was smooth and easy. Great reco on where to go based on our experiance level. The equipment was in very good shape. I love the live chat feature too...recommended not to come on a specific day because the winds were going to make for a harder paddle. Will come back to rent bikes and scooters for the kids when we return.

SUP, first time and will be back. - We rented SUP and they gave us the best tour we could possible imagine. In a trip of 12 days, we did two trips. Hope to be back next summer do visit more things. They are two locals that know all the good places.

Amazing rentals - fast & friendly - Amazing company and service. We stumbled upon this shop when out walking and went in to enquire about tours. Unfortunately the tours had finished for the season as it was winter so we enquired about renting bikes instead to cycle to portimao the following day. Excellent service - we turned up the next morning, and were given everything we would need including phone holder, helmets and bike locks all we had to do was pay and that was it! super easy and super friendly girls that served us. They showed us the best routes too for cycling off road! We loved it so much that we returned another day to rent e-scooters (very fun) and again were given everything we needed. Ended up staying out later then planned so sent a simple whatsapp message and we confirmed a later return time within minutes- super handy. Would really recommend, next time we are back, we will make sure to try the tours too!

Amazing experience - One of the experiences that everyone should have during their summer holidays. A beautiful walk in the calm of the morning and with incredible landscapes and caves. Maísa and Daniela are locals and have a lot of sea experience. Thanks!

Amazing company, amazing service. - We found this company after visiting Ferragudo in Portugal. We requested 4 SUP’s to be delivered to a local beach. The company responded very quickly and arranged everything over WhatsApp . They messaged on the morning before delivery stating they were en route. The boards were delivered on time to our location, including wet bags, waterproof phone holder, and face mask and snorkel. Everything was explained to us, and even a map for places to visit . We called for collection of the boards and within 10 minutes the person arrived to collect the boards and sort everything out. Excellent service all round I will definitely recommend this company. 🌞
