Highlights
  • Restaurante Club Capítulo - Join our small group Kayak tour (5 kayaks) from Time Out Market (Mercado da Ribeira) to the coastline of Sesimbra where we will provide you with a home made pic nic during our stop at one of the most beautiful beaches in the Arrabida Natural Park called Ribeiro do Cavalo.

This is an all inclusive tour so we will have a transfer from Lisbon to the village of Sesimbra where our kayak equipment will be waiting for us which includes DOUBLE (tandem) sit-on-top kayaks, life vests, water resistant bags for any belongings you choose to take with you on the tour and inside a big beach towel and water bottles, and off course the paddles and very comfortable kayak seats.

We will paddle from the harbour of Sesimbra after you receive a briefing on the tour and paddling technics and in general it takes us 1h:30m to get to the beach where we will have our 1h break for lunch and for you to enjoy the scenery. The way back to the start point takes about another hour of paddling and in most days with the help of some wind pushing us.

By default we provide a chicken baguette sandwich (avocado, lettuce, mushrooms, tomato and chicken) or veggie option just let us know. Total duration is about 7h.

  • High-quality kayak gear, including a life vest, paddle, seat, and dry bag.
  • Cozy beach blanket for relaxation.
  • Experienced professional guide for your safety and assistance.
  • Complimentary bottled water to stay hydrated.
  • Delicious snacks to keep your energy up.
  • A savory lunch to refuel mid-adventure.
What's Not Included
  • Alcohol drinks
Additional Information

The term ‘California’ was coined in this region, which later became the name of a state in the USA. This stunning limestone scenery will serve as the backdrop for our kayak excursion.

Starting from Sesimbra’s marina, the tour will edge around the harbor’s jetty and set course west, beholding this splendid landscape. Prepare to explore Mula Cove and Pedra da Mula and learn their tales, leading up to the striking Ribeira do Cavalo and its azure waters.

Departing from the beach, we will venture towards the Lapa da Boca do Tamboril and Frade Cove. A beachside lunch awaits us.

We maintain a favorable ratio of one guide for every five kayaks to ensure an optimal experience. There is one guide dedicated to each group of 10 visitors.

An easy and beautiful kayak experience - The trip is not long and suitable for beginners. Even if you have never tried kayking before you should be fine. Afonso is a great guide. The views are amazing and the ocean is very refreshing.

Great time - Afonso was our guide and it was amazing. Views were spectacular and we felt safe the entire time. If you are looking for a great tour that’s not a strenuous paddle then this is the tour for you.

Breathtaking - Afonso was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. I was a solo traveler so he got stuck with me in the kayak and made me feel so comfortable. He gives you so much history of Portugal and recommendations to make your experience even better. The water was turquoise and the views were amazing. Enough time to enjoy the beach once you get there and the great lunch they provide.

Great Day on the Water - Had a great time on the water with our guide Afonso! I only had a short weekend in Lisbon and it was definitely a highlight - visiting from the UK I wanted to get some sun and beach time in. I was a bit unsure of what to expect as a solo traveler being stuck in a kayak with a stranger since there were no single kayaks. There’s a bit of a learning curve but it was a good time. Be sure to bring sunscreen and wear something that you’re comfortable getting wet. You will get wet.
