Overview
Stand Up Paddling is an ancient method of surfing that became famous in the 60’s in Hawaii. Recently, it upgrades its status as a sport on its own and it has become ever more popular, showing a big growth rate around the world nowadays. It’s a sport developed with a large board and a paddle, usually in spots with calm waters. Near Porto there are ideal conditions for going through with this activity, combining wonderful scenery with quiet water spots. SUP is also considered an activity with very low environmental impact, allowing its practitioners relaxation, leisure and fun, as well as moments of introspection and contemplation.

We will pick you up at your accommodation and take you straight to spot where the activity is held (it may change considering tidal and wind factors). Once there, a small security briefing takes place and a demonstration of the paddling technique is done.
After this small introduction, a nice Stand Up Paddle ride takes place, lasting between one hour and two hours depending on
the weather and the guest’s fitness level. We will then bring you back to your accommodation!
