Escape Lisbon for a guided kayak trip along Sesimbra’s cliffs, caves, and Ribeiro do Cavalo Beach, with transport and a homemade picnic.
“The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I was running late due to my Uber cancelling but he waited for me and I’m glad I didn’t miss the experience. Full details were provided in advance so I knew what to expect. Kayaking was enjoyable and it was the perfect amount of time for this experience. The beach we stopped at was beautiful and I managed to get lots of great photos.”
Kayak from Sesimbra to Ribeira do Cavalo, entering sea caves, swimming in clear water, and tasting a local sweet in Arrábida Natural Park.
“The ocean and the coastline of sesimbra on a kayak is an experience of its own. But that's not all you get. Enter Gabriel, a nature angel in disguise as a guide. From one second to the next you will be giggling and then transfixed by his utmost respect for the ocean. Wonderful company. (if you go on a 'less' beautiful day - you might get as lucky as we did and end up with an essentially private tour which felt like kayaking with a friend - ask him about the orcas and the netflix documentary 'My octopus teacher'!)”
Review of Lisbon’s Arrábida kayak tour, with coastal cliffs, caves, snorkeling, beach lunch, transport, value, and practical tips.
“We had an amazing day. Both Pedro and Jao were amazing in making sure our experience was one of a kind by giving us history of sites but also going the extra mile to make it unique by allowing my 10 year to touch a star fish. We first visited a cave, got to jump off the cliff to then have a lunch prepared by them on a beach with crystal blue waters and white sand. Definitely would recommend it.”
Paddle Sesimbra’s caves and cliffs in Arrábida Natural Park, with expert guides, a beach stop, pastry, and optional Lisbon transfer.
“Our transfer from Lisbon to Sesimbra and back was seamless. The driver was excellent, though I did not catch his name, he was only 20 but drove like he’d been doing so for many more years! Diogo our guide was fantastic, he was calm and patient with us even though we were slow and capsized at one point! His knowledge was great and the bits of information he gave us were really interesting! I would highly recommend this experience!”
