Stand Up Paddle Board Tours Near Lisbon
Explore Arrábida Natural Park with Mana Kai Paddle
Looking for unforgettable things to do near Lisbon? A stand up paddle board (SUP) tour in Arrábida Natural Park is one of the most unique outdoor experiences in Portugal — and it’s just 30 minutes from Lisbon.
Leave the city behind and join Mana Kai Paddle as we explore the stunning, untouched coastline of Arrábida and the Luís Saldanha Marine Park. Paddle across crystal-clear waters, discover hidden sea caves, glide past dramatic cliffs, and relax on white sand beaches that can only be accessed from the water.
Why Paddle Boarding in Arrábida?
Unlike kayaking, stand up paddle boarding gives you a higher vantage point, allowing you to see deep into the ocean below. In ideal conditions, visibility can reach up to 30 meters, creating what we love to call “Stand Up Snorkeling.” It’s peaceful, immersive, and unlike anything else you’ll experience near Lisbon.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or have paddled before, our experienced, certified instructors will guide you every step of the way. We start each tour with a short lesson to make sure you feel confident, safe, and ready to enjoy the adventure.
A Top Outdoor Experience in Portugal
Paddle effortlessly along one of Portugal’s most protected marine areas, surrounded by turquoise water, marine life, and dramatic natural scenery. SUP is one of the fastest-growing board sports in the world, and Arrábida is one of the best places to experience it.
To make the day even better, we capture photos and videos during your tour, so you can take home not just memories — but epic content to relive the experience.
Perfect for:
-
Lisbon day trips
-
Couples & solo travelers
-
Small groups & private tours

Nature lovers & adventure seekers
