Very enjoyable 3 hour tour from Alvor with kayaking as the highlight
Thoroughly enjoyable experience doing something out of our comfort zone. It’s a bit tricky knowing where to join the group so we headed down the pontoon at the marina and found Alec beside the old boat (the kayaks were a clue). Once everyone was on board we slowly sailed out to the breakwater in very calm water(low tide) with Alex giving us a history lesson along the way. I suspected we would face rougher water once we left the estuary but it was pretty calm and enjoyable. We sailed around to the caves, had a safety briefing from Alex, got our lifevests on and then into the 2 man Kayaks. This was great craic 😁 a bit daunting, not having kayaked before but really good fun. Alex led the way and we kayaked in and out of caves with waves bouncing us about just enough to keep it exciting. Back to the boat and the swimmers were able to spend a bit of time in the sea before all back on board for the 45 minute sail back to port. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and one perfectly suited to novice adventurers and seasoned kayakers alike.

Great option to kayak to explore caves and beaches without having to kayak so far because they take you on a boat :) while in the boat, the team shared local history about the fisherman of Alvor, the channel, the beaches. We saw a bunch of people clamming as we cruised through the channel to the ocean. All in all, great excursion and value.
