Overview

Alvor is known for its coastal nature and quiet beaches along the Algarve. This boat and kayak tour takes about three hours exploring the area between Alvor and Praia do Vau. Guests board the Frontino, a handcrafted boat built in 1957, which offers space, stability, a bar, music, snacks, restroom facilities, and all necessary safety equipment. The tour starts at the Alvor estuary in the Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve. The boat sails through this protected area while guides share stories about the local fishing village. The route passes by Praia de Alvor and Praia dos Tres Irmaos (3 Irmãos Beach) before reaching João de Arens Beach. Here, participants spend about one hour on a guided kayak tour exploring secret caves and beaches within the João de Arens Natural Reserve, with an opportunity to swim. The return trip follows the estuary back to Alvor, taking about one hour. Life jackets are provided, and all fees and taxes are included. Drinks and food are not included. The tour is led by experienced skippers who provide guidance throughout.
