Lisbon Arrábida UNESCO Biosphere Experience by Kayak with Snorkel
Description
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
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.
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!
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.
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
You will paddle through this amazing bay which has been a century's old safe haven for travellers and settlers from all around the world.

Incredible experience! Would 1000% recommend for anyone in Lisbon to see beautiful nature. From touching jellyfish to exploring caves to cliff jumping, this was hands down my favorite part of my time in Lisbon! António was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend!!
