What to Expect
We meet in the morning at Mana Kai Paddle or a pre-arranged meeting point in Arrábida. On arrival, enjoy coffee, water, fresh fruit, and pastries while we go over the plan for the day and provide a short kayak lesson for beginners.
Once ready, we launch from a carefully selected beach — chosen daily based on weather and tide conditions — and begin paddling along Arrábida’s breathtaking coastline. Along the way, you’ll glide past sea caves, cliffs, and schools of fish clearly visible beneath your kayak thanks to the area’s exceptional water clarity.
Our route continues toward Anixa Island, where you’ll have the option to snorkel in calm, shallow waters. Keep an eye out for octopus, small seahorses, and other marine life.
We bring a GoPro along to capture the experience, and your photos and videos will be emailed to you after the tour.
After swimming, we relax and warm up on the soft white sand of one of Europe’s most celebrated beaches. Take time to enjoy the scenery before we gently wrap up the day.
If you choose the transport option, we’ll take care of pickup and drop-off from your hotel or location.
