We recommend it! – If you’re sharing the adventure with experienced friends or family, it’s not a problem. If it’s your first time and you’re going alone, then it’s not recommended. Safety is something not to be overlooked. In any open water activity, the ‘distance’ between SAFE and unsafe is very thin, and something that is super fun can quickly turn into a nightmare. Respect all the recommendations in the briefing.
No !! We do not provide neoprene wetsuits or neoprene wet-shoes to keep you warm in winter. In sumer wetsuits and water-shoes are not required.
Not recommended! All participants receive a personal flotation aid to help keep them afloat if they fall into the water. But doing this experience without professional support increases the risk of an accident if you don’t know how to swim.
– In this case, we recommend that you go on this trip with a support team by your side, you can contact Lagos Adventure: https://lagosadventure.com/ they are the best at providing an unforgettable experience.
On the Ponta da Piedade kayak adventure, the waters are calm, we are very lucky that in Ponta da Piedade – Lagos – Algarve, the waters are very calm and clear. However, as with any water and transport activity, there are inherent and assumed risks.

The minimum age for Kayak tours is 5 years old. Any person under 17 years old most be accompanied by a responsible adult. We advise families with young children to choose our first kayak tour of the day, instead of the others Tours.
While greater levels of fitness generally help in all aspects of life, you do not need to be any kind of athlete to take part in our tours, kayaking on the Ponta da Piedade Coastline is generally a relaxing more leisure type activity.
To paddle the entire Ponta da Piedade coastline at a familiar pace and visit most of the caves, you’ll need 1 hour 15 or 1 hour 30 minutes. We reckon that’s the average time needed for this experience until you reach the last rock formation after the Lighthouse. However, we mustn’t forget that we have to return to the starting point and do the whole route back, so you’ll need another hour at a familiar pace. That’s why we recommend a 4-hour hire, so that you can enjoy stops at isolated and inaccessible beaches, and relax and enjoy magical moments. If you don’t go kayaking or paddleboarding, you don’t have that possibility.
– Our entire operation is designed for the benefit of our customers, so kayaks offer an unforgettable experience, with which you can visit narrow areas and shallow waters that would be inaccessible to larger or motorised boats.
– Silence is golden. Without a motor disturbing the natural environment, we are able to peacefully view wildlife and natural landscapes without interfering with the environment.
– Our Meeting Point is located near Lagos Marina and we start the Tour from an easily accessible ramp.
– We have provided the google maps link of the Meeting Point for GPS: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ACj6sgLzWVrDuyKb9
