Highlights

What shapes the experience just as much as the setting are the people guiding it. Tiago, from Setúbal, knows this coastline from the land side — its history, its changes, and the small details most people pass by. António, from Lisbon, brings years of experience in the ocean, reading conditions and guiding the time we spend in the water. Together, they keep things safe, but also personal and flexible. The day adjusts to the group, to the sea, and to the moment. We offer an experience aimed at relaxation and enjoyment of a unique Natural Park and its exclusive Marine reserve: the Professor Luiz Saldanha Marine Park. Fully insured and certified acitvity, with expert guidance.

Itinerary

  1. You will tour through this amazing Natural park until we reach one of its most unique beaches: Praia do Crier. Here you will be dropped at our base camp. There we have our private amenities such as a toilet, safe storage space for your belongings, a water dispenser. You will meet our guide/instructor who will handle you all the necessary equipment. After a security briefing he will lead you to the starting point of our incredible kayak and snorkeling tour.

  2. If the local currents are according to our expectations, this will be our first stop: a natural grout which us traces back to pre-historical times. It hosts a small christian hermitage altar built around the XVII century. After this stop, you will leap back to sea!

    45 min

  3. Here we will make our second stop: this small hidden beach is the perfect place for a pause in our journey. You will be served some tea or coffee, and take a moment to enjoy the surrounding. It is also our preferred spot for our snorkeling adventure: a unique place next to a fully protected marine reservation, the Professor Luiz Saldanha Marine Park.

    1 h

  4. This is the starting and ending point of our tour. But if the currents allow, and there's still enough time, we might still paddle until a tiny island just in front of the beach, locally called "Pedra da Anicha". Another picturesque location with vibrant

About Lisbon

Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.

The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.

Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
