Bailey was laid-back, friendly and made me feel welcome straight away. As an experienced paddler I didn't need much instruction, so I was set up with a board that suited my level of ability. We kept a pace that was comfortable for myself and the other guest, and paddled out towards the bird sanctuary and then back, making a slight detour to take pictures in front of the Ponte de Arrábida. We were on the river Douro for about an hour and for the price it was a nice way to get on the water for a bit, and to check out Porto from a slightly different perspective.

We had an excellent time and totally recommend this experience. We got to get out of the touristy grind and do something peaceful and outdoorsy. They provided everything we needed to paddleboard and led us out on a beautiful estuary. We could see schools of sardines swimming under us! Certainly a highlight of our trip. One note though, they didn't provide a "drink" as advertised, and though some reviews note that they take pictures to share, they did take the pictures, but didn't talk to us about sharing them at all. It's OK though, because they did give us a dry bag for a phone, so we got some pics anyway! They have locker rooms for your stuff, though not a lock, but it felt pretty safe, since it was inside the shop and there was someone there who would notice if a random person went back there. There's a shower too. The marina where the shop is located is very modern and nice, with restaurants out on the water. We were bummed that we had other plans back in Porto. It would have been fun to linger a bit more.

What an absolutely brilliant time we had. It was my birthday and this just made it the most perfect day. Really good clear guidance by Pedro who was extremely patient and lovely. He took some great pics so we could capture the whole experience. Stunning nature reserve and so peaceful. Go, you will absolutely love it.

This was an unforgettable experience! Having never pedal boarded before, I didn't know what to expect out of a one hour session, but by the end I felt like a seasoned pro! Pedro who took us out kindly at sunset, was fantastic and took some brilliant photos to remember the experience by. Highly recommended!!
