Kayaking on the West Algarve

Day 1 – Arrival to Lagos

Whether you’re arriving from the untouched cliff coast at Vila Nova de Milfontes or the glampsite in Alentejo, reaching this part of the Algarve takes just about 1.5 hours. If today marks the beginning of your holiday, simply pick up your car at Faro airport, and within half an hour, you’ll be at your apartment. The western coast of the Algarve is renowned for its breath-taking beauty – from the rugged cliff coasts to the crystal-clear blue sea and delightful temperatures, it captivates tourists year after year.

We have selected several family friendly apartments, all situated in peaceful locations and equipped with kitchenettes and refreshing swimming pools. One of the perks of this side of the Algarve is the refreshing breeze from the Atlantic Ocean that always provides a pleasant cooling effect.

Day 3 – Free time to relax & explore

Aside from the kayaking trip, you will have plenty of time to explore the Algarve at your leisure. If kayaking is too active we can arrange a boat trip along the rugged coastline, stopping at caves and dolphin spotting along the way.

We would recommend a visit to Lagos. Strolling through its historic district, you’ll encounter charming cobblestone streets, delightful squares adorned with churches, all enclosed by impressive 16th-century walls. Venture south of the city, and you’ll discover sheltered beaches like Batata and Pinhão, boasting caves, cliffs, and tranquil waters.

For that ultimate ‘end of the world’ sensation, head to Sagres, located at the almost southwestern most point of Europe. Here, high cliffs sculpted by the sea set the dramatic scene. Originally a fishing village, Sagres maintains its maritime heritage with lobster fishing still thriving.
