Overview

Explore the famous caves and hidden corners of Ponta da Piedade by kayak, one of the most exciting and environmentally friendly ways to discover this stunning coastline. Led by friendly and experienced guides, you’ll paddle through natural arches, narrow grottoes, and secluded beaches only accessible from the water.

The adventure begins at Lagos Marina, where you board our support catamaran Freddie II and cruise comfortably to Ponta da Piedade. During the journey, our crew provides a safety briefing and helpful tips on how to handle your kayak smoothly through the rock formations.

Once at the kayaking area, you’ll enter the water easily from the catamaran’s rear platform with the assistance of our crew. Follow your guide as you explore the coastline and learn about the names, history, and geology of the rock formations and beaches while surrounded by the incredible colors and light that make it unique.

Please bring your swimsuit and towel for this unforgettable adventure.
