Kayak & canoe · KAYAK RENTALS IN PORTUGAL
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 5 kayak rentals in Portugal worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Rent a double-seat kayak on Sete Cidades’ Blue Lake for one hour, with canoe, vest, flippers, and insurance included. Paddle toward the Green Lake, enjoy São Miguel’s volcanic scenery, and get help from the friendly English and Portuguese-speaking team, including Luis and Alessandro.
“Very friendly owner and great way to see all of the lake! Definitely recommend.”
Meet the André Matos Boat Trips team at Benagil Beach for a two-hour guided double-kayak rental. You’ll paddle to Benagil Cave, coastal caves, and Marinha Beach with multilingual guides such as José, Ibra, Leo, and David, plus gear, photos, and safety help.
“Really great kayaking trip! Our guide Ibra was friendly and enthusiastic. He showed some beautiful spots to enter caves, took group shots, and overall made sure everyone had a good time. Highly recommended!”
Meet OceanEye Azores at Vila Franca do Campo Marina, choose a single, double, or family kayak, and paddle independently along the coast for 2, 4, or 6 hours. You receive a paddle, PFD, insurance, and host support, but islet entry requires a separate approved package.
“The kayaking around the islet was a great experience! I was contacted by the provider and the booking website to change the date, due to the weather conditons, and it all went very smoothly. Highly recommended.”
You’ll collect a sit-on-top kayak at Faro Marina, receive a map, route plan, and safety briefing, then paddle independently through the Ria Formosa. Choose a solo, double, or family kayak. No experience is needed, but you must wear the provided vest and handle your own navigation.
“Really lovely time! Hard work with the wind but not too many big boats going past to put us off. Lots of hermit crabs and wildlife to see! Do the longer route to the beach!”
You’ll park privately near Benagil, walk about 7 to 10 minutes to a quiet beach, then receive kayak instruction before paddling to Benagil Cave and Marinha’s Arches. Marcio and Paolo are among the staff associated with the experience. A swim stop, waterproof bag, and small groups are included.
“We had a great trip to Benagil cave today! The owner and guides were excellent. We were nervous about the gps directions, but it did work out and a private parking lot was great. There is a 10 minute hike to the beach, but you may use the beach to enjoy after your excursion as well.”
Pick the water, the hull or the hour.
