Arrábida Kayak Tour — Sesimbra & Lisbon Options

Explore one of Portugal’s most spectacular coastlines by kayak in the Arrábida Natural Park and the protected Luiz Saldanha Marine Park. Our main kayak experience is a 4-hour guided tour on the water, departing from Sesimbra Harbour and following the coastline towards Ribeiro do Cavalo Beach.

 

Along the way, paddle beneath towering limestone cliffs and discover caves, rock passages, hidden coves and crystal-clear waters. Our local guides share their knowledge of the region’s nature, geology, history and local stories throughout the experience.

 

We operate in small groups, with a maximum of 5 double kayaks per guide, creating a more personal experience while allowing our guides to accompany the group closely.

 

You can meet us directly in Sesimbra, or choose our Lisbon option with round-trip transportation to Sesimbra. Both options join the same 4-hour guided kayak experience on the water.
