Our Exclusive Kayak Tours

Arrábida Kayak Tour from Sesimbra & Lisbon

Glide along one of Portugal’s most spectacular stretches of coast: the Arrábida Natural Park and the protected Luiz Saldanha Marine Park. From the comfort of a stable double kayak, you’ll reach hidden beaches and crystal-clear coves that no boat tour can access — places where the only way in is your own paddle.

 

Our flagship kayak experience departs from Sesimbra harbour, paddles along towering limestone cliffs and lands on Ribeiro do Cavalo, the most iconic hidden beach of the Arrábida coast. The pace is relaxed, the route is guided, and the views are simply unforgettable.

 

We keep groups small — maximum 5 double kayaks per guide — so the experience stays personal and the connection with nature stays real. Suitable for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike.
