Sesimbra: Arrabida Natural Park & Caves Guided Kayaking Tour

1.Sesimbra: Arrabida Natural Park & Caves Guided Kayaking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 775 reviews · 3 hours · from $41Our pick

Paddle from Sesimbra through Arrábida caves to Ribeiro do Cavalo Beach on a small-group tour with guides, snacks, swimming, and dry bags.

“Tomás was an excellent guide & kept us on the right path throughout the tour. He was very welcoming, and gave great explanations of the surrounding area & different interesting facts. He also made sure everyone stuck together and waited for different pairs to catch up - so no worries if you haven’t done kayaking before. I am 5ft tall, and fit perfectly fine in the front seat. My partner is 6ft4, and just about fit in the kayak. The route of the tour was very cool, and we got to see two different caves - the latter was so magical it was as if it was from a storybook.…”

“The experience was great! I had a lot of emotions from the tour, the views were stunning and sometimes it was a real struggle to move the kayak, but the guide Tomas was very helpful when we were stuck, and the general vibe was great. Also there were just 4 of us and the guide, so it was quite comfortable to be in a smaller group, Tomas also were telling us some stories about the beaches and the cliffs and had some nice snack prepared. Strongly recommended, but better take some sunglasses and a hat to protect you from the sun and the salty water getting into your eyes from…”

“This was an amazing experience!!! Me and my three other friends did this kayak tour while we were staying in Lisbon. First off, we met at Time Out Market, which is very centrally located and so was not a far walk from our Airbnb. The bus to the beach was not very far either, and once we got there Luis(/Luigi?) did a great job of showing us the ins and outs of kayaking. He was an amazing tour guide and so much fun (would highly recommend requesting him as your guide!!). The alcoves we got to explore we also beautiful, and it was so much fun getting to go through…”

“Once you’re in the kayak, this experience and the guide are awesome! Definitely do the morning trip, (they called us the day before suggesting we move from the afternoon time, so glad we did!) there was no parking left when we were leaving in the afternoon and people were parking miles from the beach, on the side of the road and walking down. Not bad on the way down but long, long walk back up a steep hill and busy road with no sidewalk. Beach is so beautiful and this company is great with great instructions on how & when to get there. Our guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable and…”

He showed us a hidden gem tucked away in a cave and had us kayak through a little island. Our guide was so patient with us as we fell off of our kayak & went at a slower pace. This was such a fantastic team to adventure with!”
