- sarahlouisecampbell00 contributionsFun, safe and a good workoutWe are a family of 4 with two teens (13 & 17) we wanted a bit of an adventure and something a bit more active than a boat tour. This ticked all the boxes, it was exciting, fun and the scenery was beautiful, the guides were very experienced and very helpful, we felt very safe despite there being some wind and waves. Thank you to the whole team. It was a good workout so you need a good level of fitness. Some people got a tow back if you did happen to struggle, but we welcomed the exercise. Please leave them a tip, very nice lads. Thank youWritten July 29, 2024

Amazing, super helpful SUP guides. Beautiful views! Our group was a mix of first timers and more experienced paddlers and everyone enjoyed the experience.
There is an option for a pick up from your hotel and drop off, which is only €5, so make sure to book it as well.
Bring some extra cash with you, because you would want to leave a tip!

I was to Praia da Coelha with my friends. We booked a 2 hours SUP lesson with Diana. She was very patient and kind with us! She showed us a part of the cost and a little "secret" beach where we had the possibility to dive and take some pictures. It was amazing! Strongly reccomended.

In all seriousness, this was the highlight of our holiday and we would thoroughly recommend SUP to any age group at any level, they were extremely accommodating and excellent instructors.

Amazing morning paddle boarding or just sitting on the board looking at the amazing scenery. Suitable for all - there were beginners, kids & experienced SUP’s in the crop & no pressure if people didn’t want to stand etc.
Excellent value for money & the guys very clearly know what they are doing and put safety first at all times. They also run kayaking & surfing tours & we will definitely book again when back in Portugal. Pick up & drop off too was great. Thank you 🙏

After picking us up at our apartment we drove to the wonderful Praia da Coelha, a beautiful and more private beach about 15mins from Albufeira Old Town. At 10am there was basically nobody else around so we could start the SUP session with Diogo, our coach, in a very relaxed manner. Quickly reviewing the techniques and tips we could start the trip on unknown waters soon. We paddled all the way to Albufeira Marina and on our way there, Diogo told us some facts about the landscape. He also took pictures and sent them to us later on, which was extremely nice because we didn’t take our phones since we involuntarily took a swim after losing balance on the board. On our way back we paddled through a natural stone arch of the cliff which was extremely beautiful! Then we took a break on one of the beaches only accessible by water and could soak up some sun. Arriving back at our starting point, Diogo generously handled all the equipment and was overall very friendly and helpful, recommending some other activities and restaurants to us, too.
Thank you so much for the experience, we’ll come back anytime!

Brilliant. 2 adults and a teen. Had Shiko as our guide, very clear and kept everyone relax with great simple instructions. Went out at 10am the sea was lovely and smooth. Great couple of hours, can’t recommend enough, and thanks to Shiko who instilled confidence and made it feel easy

Highlight of my trip to the Algarve. Was lucky enough to be the only one that booked that day, so many thanks to Antonio and Albufeira SUP Tours for not canceling.
Have had a SUP for years but this by far beats anything I have ever done on a SUP. Breathtaking scenery, amazing stories, and overall just one of those once in a lifetime experiences that you look back on later and say - I am so glad I did that.

This is a must do if you're visiting Albufeira. Hugo was a great instructor and really supportive throughout the whole experience. The views as you paddle round the bay are stunning. Best part of my holiday by far

Hi there I did this back in June and booked through TripAdvsior. My friend and I had a great time and they said they'd email us photos but we have never received them. Would you be able to ask them to send them? I don't have the company's details as we booked through TripAdvsior. Many thanks, Steph Devoy

Hello, my friends and I would really like to come out tomorrow for the tour but think the water might be too cold. Do you provide wetsuits?
