Fantastic Experience Sea Kayaking From Praia de Sao Rafael - Brilliant trip out sea kayaking from Praia de Sao Rafael today with our guides Miguel and Nuno. Only our family of 4 went out due to the big waves and windy conditions. Miguel and Nuno took great care of us stopping for rest breaks and sharing their knowledge of the coastal area with us. They even gave us a tow back to the beach when we started to get tired. Would highly recommend this experience!

Kayaking experience - Have just done the kayaking from Raphael beach. It was an amazing experience. The tour guides were very helpful and made it fun. Weather was perfect. Sea was calm. Going through the caves was great fun. Also being able to have a swim in between was great fun too. Can highly recommend. Price was very reasonable. Have just purchased the photos too. Also very reasonably priced. Some great memories of a fun morning. Thank you. 😊

Kayaking into Caves near Alufeira - This was a great experience. You set off from a nice beach, There is a bar on the beach good for before or after the trip. This I would say is suitable for any level of kayaker. It is great fun canoeing through caves and in the sea. The guides are super friendly easy going knowledgeable. The two hours go quickly would recommend the 9:am session as this allows for plenty of time to do other things, Guides take photos, you can use your phone if you have a protective water proof case.

Highly recommend kayaking - This was definitely a highlight of our holiday. Albufeira is beautiful beyond words. With the kayak tour you get to go into the caves and experience the glowing water. That is not possible by boat. The tour guides are mindful of safety and very friendly. They are knowledgeable and tell short stories about the environment. They keep the whole group in mind and are relaxed. As they said themselves: quality before quantity and they kept their word.

Lovely kayaking experience - We had a lovely experience kayaking along the coast and seeing lots of caves and beaches. The guides were great, and we loved the stop on the beach that can only be accessed by water. We went in September and ended up in a tiny group which made the experience even better. Would recommend!

It was great to get out... - It was great to get out on the water and see the secret beaches. The guides had lots of interesting information to share along the way. Loved going through the caves !! Capsized in a big wave when we returned to our home beach, guides helped find our glasses in the surf, i really thought they were gone. Very thankful!!

Just do it - Great trip, great guides, only thing missing, was a stop on the beach where we came through a cave, to take our own pictures. They took some pictures of us, but they’re reasonably expensive. Especially when you go in two kayaks.

Memorable kayaking - but not quite the full experience - A wonderful family experience overall. Although the weather wasn’t ideal on our scheduled day, we appreciated being offered an alternative date for kayaking—just be sure to allow flexibility in your plans so you don’t miss out. On the day we did go, we weren’t able to explore all the caves, which was a real letdown as that was the highlight we were most looking forward to. I’d definitely suggest bringing a waterproof phone case so you can capture your own memories without relying on paid photo packages.
