Amazing Experience!
This was an amazing experience! Our guide, Tomas, was fantastic--charming, expert, and fun. The kayaking was easy enough for a beginner, and GORGEOUS. Kayaking along cliffs with luminescent waters, caves, and private beaches. The meeting point is easy to find and has a shower and changing room. Everyone is given a waterproof bag that's big enough to fit water bottles, camera, snacks, water shoes--bring whatever you need. The kayaks are doubles, and since I was solo I was partnered with another solo traveller who was a fast friend. Wonderful experience and so affordable!

This was an exceptional trip, which I highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. The coastline is very beautiful. The caves, beaches and rocks are awesome. The guide was absolutely first class- what a brilliant guy. We have been inspired to do more sea kayaking in future at home.

This is a fantastic kayak tour with an excellent guide.
This tour by kayak was fantastic! We went as a family and we had a brilliant guide. We saw a stunning and beautiful coast with very interesting geology. We entered a very interesting cave and went through great rock arches. We had a great stop on the lovely beach and time for a swim. The tour is excellent value for money and the guide and equipment are first class. I would highly recommend this.

How many days do you need in Setubal District?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
