• If you like the outdoors, being surrounded by Nature and watersports then come to try Stand-up Paddle Boarding in western Algarve.
• This tour is ideal for all ages and will take you, your family or friends down the Ribeira de Aljezur River until the Ocean beach of Praia da Amoreira.

• Then its time to begin our river trip starting on a narrow stream deep in the valley surrounded by trees and bushes, moving towards a wider area with fields where cattle come to feed.
• The surrounding is constantly changing as we paddle towards the Ocean: there are areas with wild berry bushes and then salt marshes with mud banks where loads of shellfish grow and birds come to feed and rest.
• The entire river is full of fish, that will jump out of the water as we paddleboard forward silently.
• The area then changes one more time when we approach the river beach surrounded by tall dunes 500m behind Amoreira beach.
