The kayak rental company covers personal accident and civil liability insurance at no extra cost. Safety is taken very seriously and there will be certified monitors guiding us along the descent.
How to get there:
🚙 : Arrive by 09:30 by car(pool) to the restaurant D'Uportinho.
* The main road to Arrábida is closed. There is a small (!) parking lot just before the road blocks here, as well as limited parking on the road. From there, walk 15-20 minutes downhill to the restaurant.
** Public transportation to this location is extremely difficult. Our best bet is to carpool everyone with personal vehicles, worst case shared Uber rides (approx. €25 one-way). If you have space in your car, make sure to share your departure point and time in the group chat so others can join and split costs for gas.
See you on the water!
