Where can you canoe in Portugal?
Where can you canoe in Portugal? If you want to canoe in Portugal you can take your pick of destinations! Sea kayaking is also a fantastic way to see the best of the coast and the spectacular sea caves.
Why canoe or kayak in Portugal?
We offer guided tours of this area as well as kayak hire if you prefer to go alone. Canoeing also gives you the option of exploring Portugal’s remoter regions. In the Peneda-Gerês National Park in the North of Portugal and the surrounding areas you will find rugged mountains, hidden waterfalls, wild moorland ponies and ancient granite villages where jangling cow bells announce the return of the herd for milking. For goups, we offer 4 and 5 day kayaking holidays on the rivers Minho, Douro and Tejo (see below for more details) as well as day trips.Further south in the Alentejo rivers wind through white washed villages nestling among perfectly rounded hills and gnarled olive and cork trees- perfect for nature spotting and a leisurely lunch or take to the lake at Alqueva, also in the Alentejo, – Europe’s largest man made dam and an up and coming water sports destination.
Portugal’s mild climate makes it ideal for sea kayaking which can be enjoyed many months of the year even by beginners. We currently offer sea kayaking tours in the Arrabida natural park, in the Algarve and Madeira.
