Nice - We changed from paddle board to kayak because waves were way too big. We ended up with another group of 11 - a family. It was fun and exciting. Worth the price.

Fantastic time and Ricardo is a legend! - We booked a 10am slot to paddle board. The sea seemed to be calmer at this time in the morning which made it much easier to explore. It ended up being just us as a couple and Ricardo our SUP instructor. The experience was amazing, my partner had paddled boarded before but it was my first time and we both loved it. Ricardo was brilliant and showed us some beautiful spots including secluded beaches which were accessible through caves. We seemed to be really lucky with timings and had the beaches to ourselves at this time in the morning. All in all an unforgettable and very enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend. Ricardo also recommended some fab local spots and eateries after. TIP: I would recommend taking a waterproof phone holder and your phone then you can take pics on the way and at the beaches!

5 star experience - It was a brilliant few hours on the water, expertly guided by the very knowledgeable and experienced Sebastien. We were able to get right into caves, see blowholes and access hidden beaches we'd never otherwise have seen. What a fabulous experience. A wonderful active way to spend a morning. 5 stars

BOA VIDA - Paddleboarding in Albuferia caves with Phillip as our Brazilian tour guide was an unforgettable experience! The stunning scenery inside the caves and on the beaches took our breath away. Phillip's expertise and enthusiasm made the journey even more enjoyable. Gliding through crystal-clear waters and marveling at the unique rock formations was pure magic. We highly recommend this adventure to anyone seeking an extraordinary and thrilling aquatic escapade. A must-try!
