The Algarve · PONTA DA PIEDADE GROTTOES
39 reviewed
Ponta da Piedade is where the Algarve’s cliffs fold into arches, tunnels and sea-carved pillars the colour of honey. These are the best ways to slip in among them: low kayaks that duck under the arches, small boats that idle through the grottoes, sunset cruises past the lighthouse. Each one is priced, timed, and matched to how close to the rock you actually want to get.

“We really enjoyed our tour with Alfonso and his other team members (sorry I cannot remember our captains name). He took time to explain the rock formations. The weather turned out great, and there wasn’t as many kayak tour boats out as I expected so not too crowded. The coastline was beautiful but having some experience with kayaking is helpful to minimise running into the rocks/stone to keep them preserved. Overall would recommend this tour! Lagos is beautiful”
