Multiday kayak tour
About the multi day sea kayak trip
This wonderful kayaking trip starts in our natural park " Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina" of the Algarve region of Portgual. We explore the highlights of the western Algarve from the mystical Cape St. Vincent in Sagres to the Ponta da Piedade in Lagos with its famous caves and rock formations.
Sagres is the perfect place for sea kayaking as it is the connection between the west and south coasts, each with very different sea conditions. Both intermediate and advanced paddlers will enjoy.
Above all, the versatility of the coast is exciting. In just one day it is possible to experience the most diverse impressions: areas with strong winds are interrupted by sheltered sections, where you can comfortably paddle the caves. Several headlands share the sea, often with strong swells on one side and calmer seas on the other. You are also invited to use possible conditions for rock hopping or kayak surf!
The respective weather conditions complete the adventure, because we can adapt spontaneously - with a guide who knows every meter of the coast by heart, with all its peculiarities!
For accommodation our groups can stay in a family-owned hostel in Sagres which offers all comfort that you need, including snack-bar, swimming pool and laundry room for washing and drying your kayak clothing. The hostel has private bedrooms with own bathroom or dorms with shared bathrooms.
Of course, you are also free to organise your own accommodation if you prefer.
We use the following kayaks: Valley Sirona, Valley Aquanaut, Venture Capella, Wilderness Zephyr and Wilderness Tsunami. On request we offer double kayaks like Prijon Poseidon and Rainbow Atlantis.
