Brilliant Fun, amazing SUP tour! - Probably one of the best organised activities I have done, and I have done a few! Henrique and the team were excellent, we had such a great time on the river from start to finish. Can't recommend the activity and Henrique and his team enough, absolutely brilliant!

Awesome experience - Henrique was an amazing guide! Had a lot of fun and even though we had to reschedule for saftey reasons, we definitely appreciated that a lot because he thought about our saftey. Would definitely recommend going on this tour :) he was a great instructor!

Best paddleboarding experience! - We had such a fun trip, one of the highlights of our trip to Porto. Henrique was a great tour guide, not just teaching us how to paddleboard but also giving us some great recommendations for where to eat and what to do while in Porto. Even helping us out with some Portuguese vocal and pronunciation! We really appreciated it and he was just good fun to hang out with. Plus, the Paiva is a beautiful, gentle spot to paddleboard, the drive out showed us some more of the scenery and we got some girgeous photos from our trip. I highly recommend this to anyone going to Porto!

A must do experience in Northern Portugal - I’m really glad I found this tour during my stay in Porto. I ended up being the only one on the tour. Which was really great, as then the tour guide, Henrique, allowed me to set the pace for how fast or slow to go. The Paiva River is the perfect river for paddle boarding, it was calm and quiet in the morning. And the surrounding scenery was beautiful. If you want to get out of the busy city of Porto and get on the water this tour is the one to take.

Great day on the river! - Great relaxing day on the Paia river. Easy communication, pickup, and top notch equipment. I found myself commenting frequently how I have never been on a better inflatable SUP. It was perfect for the gentle river. My guide was very knowledgeable about the river and hosts other locations and I'll be back for sure on my next visit to Porto area. A+++

Chilled day on the water - Henrique's communication was excellent, he was quick to respond and also to understand what I wanted and what experience I had. As I didn't have a car we agreed a very reasonable price for him to pick me up and drop me off. I'd done paddleboarding before so we headed straight out off the Douro and up the Paiva river. II was swimming in it further upstream earlier on the holiday and it seemed very clean - here it was deeper and slower, so it wasn't too hard going upstream. there were a few obvious swimming spots including where we started from. Saw turtles & lovely birds, it was incredibly peaceful (only me, not a group) and very green & beautiful. (Paddling under a high arched bridge makes for a good photo too). Attention to safety was good, and wetsuits were on offer. Henrique worked a long time in tourism and he's not long set up this little business which he's building board by board! ... so he is making 100% effort to get it right with customers. He's got some interesting knowledge of the area and history and I found him very good company. If I go back, I would go to Henrique for a day out somewhere else.

Best experience ever - Absolutely MIND BLOWING! It was definitely the highlight of my stay in Porto 🤩 Henrique is super friendly, funny and experienced and it was a very nice experience from the start till the end. The river was amazingly beautiful, so many animals crossed our ways and we only meet people on the way back. You should never ever miss to live this amazing experience when visiting Porto and I am definitely going to do it again when I’ll visit again.
