Excellent trip down the coast from Alvor. Enjoyed the kayaking and the hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience doing something out of our comfort zone. It’s a bit tricky knowing where to join the group so we headed down the pontoon at the marina and found Alec beside the old boat (the kayaks were a clue). Once everyone was on board we slowly sailed out to the breakwater in very calm water(low tide) with Alex giving us a history lesson along the way. I suspected we would face rougher water once we left the estuary but it was pretty calm and enjoyable. We sailed around to the caves, had a safety briefing from Alex, got our lifevests on and then into the 2 man Kayaks. This was great craic 😁 a bit daunting, not having kayaked before but really good fun. Alex led the way and we kayaked in and out of caves with waves bouncing us about just enough to keep it exciting. Back to the boat and the swimmers were able to spend a bit of time in the sea before all back on board for the 45 minute sail back to port. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and one perfectly suited to novice adventurers and seasoned kayakers alike.

Nice friendly staff who explained everything really well and made sure everyone was getting the best from this experience. Really looked after my partner who isn’t fully confident in the sea. (We are both “silver surfers !!”) Would recommend this trip

The trip was cancelled due to choppy sea. We really appreciated the truthfulness and the safety. Everyone was rescheduled or refunded, but the attitude and helpfulness were first class.

Alex and his crew made us feel very welcome on boat and gave us information about the boat and Alvor. The kayaking experience was really good fun and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Would definitely recommend this trip!

Excellent experience, we had a great time. The guys are brilliant and very knowledgeable having grown up in Alvor. We’d definitely do it or a different tour with them when we come back to the area.
