Five stars, so you know we're recommending this…read more The details? Just finished one of their kayak trips. 18 km. There's also one that's 25. Km. Most people do the shorter one. Had a great time. The rowing was a bit harder than I thought it would be. The wind was against us. But everyone who signed up made it through fine. The scenery is fantastic. At one point we saw a herd of goats walking themselves along the river. Wildflowers in bloom. Gorgeous day. I'd read about them on Trip Advisor. Called a number we found for them here yesterday but didn't get through to anyone. So I sent them a message through Yelp. They tried calling back but couldn't get through to me and sent a message back. Before we got it we'd called them again this morning. They were already at the meeting point on the river, below the university. So they were nice enough to pick us up. And at the end they'll bring you back to the starting point if you need it. Then, Nancy left her phone in Jonas's jeep on the way back to the beginning. We called, got his mom, told her about the phone, and pretty quickly got it back. Anyway, we had a great time.

The descent in canoe or kayak takes 3-4 hours; possibility to swim and picknick on the river beaches. For all ages - enjoy sun, water, nature! The meeting point is at 10.00 in Coimbra from where we organize transport to Penacova. The trip (18/25 km) ends around 16.00 near Coimbra. Bring dry clothes and sun-protection.

Amazing family owned surf school. They offer so many different activities, we ended up trying so…read moremany! The staff are from all over the world & very good teachers & very very kind! CASH ONLY! But super affordable prices. They have nice advanced windsurfing equipment, but beginner is a bit older (still worked fine for me though). There's all sorts of sizes for different conditions and levels. It's a beautiful location right on the lagoon with beach volley ball, sand and grass! They offer surfing, wind surfing, kite surfing, kayak, SUP/ stand up paddle, catamaran & bikes. AND you can host events here. So I'm thinking about brining a big group here & everyone would have a blast trying everything! Really happy I stumbled upon this place :)

Me and my husband went to this place as we had understood the place to me a miniature city of the…read moremost important places in Portugal and it's previous colonies. However the disappointment was enormous when we found out, that the quite expensive entrance fee was more or less for a playground. The miniature buildings from around Portugal and it's colonies was nicely executed, but the explanations are ONLY in Portuguese - even the cinemas - and kids was all over the place. Finding a nice restaurant or bar for a refreshments is non existent. The place has so much potential, but doesn't succeed with it. The recommendations for couples without kids are to stay away. For the rest you can get amazing pictures of your young ones on buildings you might have seen during your vacation in Portugal.
