Sesimbra: Ribeiro Cavalo Beach, Caves, & Arrábida Kayak Tour

3.Ribeiro Cavalo Beach, Caves, & Arrábida Kayak Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 384 reviews · 3 hours · from $44

Set out from Sesimbra Harbor in a double kayak with an English or Portuguese speaking guide. Paddle past Arrábida’s cliffs, tunnels, Frade’s Cave, and small sea caves before stopping at Ribeira do Cavalo for swimming, photos, juice, and a traditional Sesimbra sweet. Morning trips are calmer for beginners.

“The ocean and the coastline of sesimbra on a kayak is an experience of its own. But that's not all you get. Enter Gabriel, a nature angel in disguise as a guide. From one second to the next you will be giggling and then transfixed by his utmost respect for the ocean. Wonderful company. (if you go on a 'less' beautiful day - you might get as lucky as we did and end up with an essentially private tour which felt like kayaking with a friend - ask him about the orcas and the netflix documentary 'My octopus teacher'!)”
