Boat Rides and other nautical activities, such as water skiing and several pull buoys, are some of the experiences that allow us to explore the Alqueva. More slowly and in perfect communion with nature, Canoeing and Paddle SUP bring us even closer to these calm waters.

There are many activities available for those who want to have fun on the water as well as explore the shores and islands.
