Ten women with varying levels of experience kayaking, from "never to regularly" all agreed that our trip with Fabio and Alex aboard the Frontino was an unforgettably wonderful experience. From meeting point to drop off, they were cheerful, professional, knowledgeable and helped us to feel secure and safe so that we could sit back and enjoy every minute. Seeing the caves and shoreline away from the crowds was what we most hoped for and it was perfect. Alex took time to explain so much history, of their boat, to local towns and shorelines. His instructions for getting in and out of the kayaks and how to move about the water, helped make the journey so much fun!! If you are in the Algarve, you are missing out if you don't experience its beauty with Alex and Fabio aboard the Frontino!
Amazing experience, learnt lots about the area. People working on the boat were really friendly. Sites were amazing!
Very good experience, i would recommend to anyone. Enjoyed the activity, very good instructor. The view was excellent
fantastic experience - we loved the small boat (about 16 people) and simplicity of the trip. Knowledgeable and friendly crew, great kayaking and time to jump and swim off the boat. Drinks if you want them but not a party boat as so many of them seem to be.
This is a great trip. The guys on the boat were so friendly, funny, helpful and informative. Good group of people, limited to 16 people so everyone got the attention they needed. Good balance of boat trip, kayaking and sea swim. Super cold beer on the way back.
This experience was so enjoyable and a great activity for people of all ages. Our family (with 3 teenagers ) really enjoyed it and we had no previous experience kayaking. The tour guides were funny and helpful and made the experience one to remember. Definitely a must do if you are staying in/around Alvor.
Fun afternoon Alex the Captain and Fabio were very knowledgable Good kayak and safety instructions Great combing a boat trip kayaking and swimming
We had such an amazing trip from start to finish. The three hour kayak trip is perfect to do with children and our 9 and 6 year old absolutely loved it. Would recommend to anyone!
Awesome experience! We expected it to be a great time, but it far exceeded our expectations. Gabriel was the best guide we’ve had in all our years of traveling. He genuinely loves what he does and enjoys connecting with people. He took his time, never made us feel rushed, and showed us so much more than many other tour companies that seemed to be just going through the motions. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and attention to detail made the tour both fun and memorable. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Algarve. If you’re lucky enough to have Gabriel as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable day!
FRANCO was an amazing tour guide and the tour was amazing … the rafting is a little difficult if your not in shape but the experience is worth the wait when you get to the caves
