Over three hours you’ll swap Lisbon’s cityscape for the turquoise water and white‑limestone cliffs of Arrábida: 1. Meet your guide on the waterfront, slip into a vest, and learn the easy strokes. 2. Paddle past colourful “saveiro” fishing boats and oyster beds, keeping an eye out for the bottlenose dolphins that often surface nearby. 3. Trace the limestone coast, drifting by pocket beaches, sea arches, and emerald grottoes while your guide shares stories of Roman salt‑works, pirate hideouts, and the protected nature reserve. 4. Swim in crystal‑clear shallows, refuel with fruit and an energy bar, lounge on a provided blanket, and let the guide snap photos of your group against the dramatic backdrop. 5. With the sun at your back, cruise home on glassy water, spotting seabirds that nest in the cliffs. 6. Rinse off, collect the link to your digital photo package, and get insider tips on where to grab Portugal’s best seafood lunch just a few steps away. No prior kayaking experience is needed. By the time you’re back on shore, you’ll have paddled through one of Portugal’s most stunning marine landscapes, relaxed on an unspoiled beach, and captured it all in pro‑level photos.
