In the Algarve the spring time starts already in January with warm, sunny and gentle days.
Nevertheless we reckon the time from November untill half April as the season for Winter kayaking. The Ocean rarely warms up above 16° C, and the sun isn´t that strong, so air temperatures mostly stay under 18-20° C.
During the winter you will stay comfortably warm with our neopreen/shorty wetsuits of 2 mm. We recommend you to wear a long sleeve t-shirt or fleece over the wetsuit, and under the swimvest
On the first part there will be a short break on a deserted beach. On the second part a longer stop on another beach is planned. Enjoy here your packed lunch or a snack/lunch at the beach bar. From this beach you can experience the underwater world with our snorkeling equipment.
We run the winter trips every day, depending on bookings and availability. The kayak trip will start at 12h00 and finish at 16h00, to enjoy the warmest part of the day.
In the winter months the weather conditions are not every week perfect for kayaking. We recommend you to give us a quick call or email to see when we have planned our next Winter Kayaking trip. In case we think it´s not safe to go out, we will suggest you another day.
Fitness level required nº 3, difficulty C.
