Questions guests ask

Do I need kayaking experience?

No. The kayaks are stable and the lagoon is sheltered, so beginners are welcome. You get a short briefing before you set off. Being comfortable in water is essential.

What is the difference between the clear and regular kayak?

The clear kayak is a transparent double, so you see the seagrass and lagoon floor below you. It costs from €45 per person. The regular kayak is a sit-on-top single or double from €20 per person.

Can children come?

Yes, from age 8. Children must be with an adult and wear a life jacket at all times. Everyone on the kayak must be able to swim.

Is there a guide?

No, the rental is self-guided. You get a map of the area and tips on the best spots, then explore at your own pace.

How do I book 4 hours?

Online bookings are for 2 hours. Pick a date and a start time, then choose your kayak and the number of people. For a 4-hour rental, call +351 962 156 922.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If the weather is unsafe or would spoil the trip, the operator moves your booking to another day or refunds you in full. Weather cancellations are rare.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancel up to 24 hours before your start time for a full refund.
