Full description

South of Lisbon, the Arrábida hills fall steeply into clear, sheltered water that is ideal for sea kayaking. With an instructor leading the way, you paddle along the coastline, exploring small caves and hidden coves that are hard to reach on foot.

After a picnic-style lunch, you switch to coasteering: moving along the shoreline by climbing over rocks, swimming through gullies and, if you wish, jumping from low ledges into the sea. The guide chooses routes to suit conditions and the group’s confidence, and all technical kit is provided.
