This was such a great excursion. Nelson was so patient, kind, friendly, helpful, and professional. He was an excellent teacher and helped my kiddos to feel comfortable and confident on the paddleboards. We went to some really cool caves along the coast, got to do some cliff jumping, snorkeling, and the overall experience of paddling out in the ocean was just all around great. I'm so glad we did this; it was a wonderful family memory!

We had a great sunrise SUP experience. Our instructor/guide Nelson went to great length to make pictures (100+ !!!) of the whole trip and to tell a lot about the caves, wildlife. We highly recommend it!
We did the 3h SUP tour with Nelson and we highly recommend it!! Nelson had a lot of background information on the caves and has a lot of patience with beginners :) it was definitely one of our highlights being in Portugal!!
We really enjoyed our morning paddle boarding and exploring a peaceful and beautiful part of the coastline. Our guide made sure we knew all the safety aspects for paddle boarding and paced our tour so that although we fitted in a lot we also had time to soak up the experience of being in the caves and to look around and appreciate our surroundings. Our teens really enjoyed jumping off a rock into the sea and we all swam into a smaller cave without the paddleboards too. As a group with mixed paddle boarding experience it suited us all. Thank you for a fun outing!
Tour was incredible. Nelson and Clara were super helpful and took us to the best spots!! 100% recommended.
This was me and my teen sons' first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (which was 99% sit-down paddleboarding in my case). Our guide, Nelson, was incredibly patient with us and a great instructor for the boys. The experience itself is something you can't get any other way except with small conveyances like paddleboards and kayaks--a journey into and through some of the smaller limestone sea cliffs around Raposeira. Nelson took great pictures with his camera and e-mailed them to me within 48 hours. Please be aware that the business does not have a bathroom or shop, so you'll need to take care of business before you go and carry your own water. Coastline provided the wetsuits, which were needed in the frigid May waters. This was a highlight of our trip and I would recommend it to anyone. Obrigado, Nelson!
Fullday tour with in the morning the Sup tour and in the afternoon the Coasteering was perfect. The Kids(14,16 and 18) enjoyed it enormously. Thanks for the great experience.
This was a brilliant, well organised, safe tour with Nelson & Clara . We had near perfect conditions and the views, caves and water were spectacular . Have SUP'd before in Portugal but this was a thousand times better . Our 9 year old came too and shared a board with his Dad . We had a brilliant day and will come again next year . Thank you
Our first sup standing experience could not be better! Thanksa lot to Nélson and Clara, you have been so nice and kind...good vibes and relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed a lot, we discovered the coast from another point of view!
The whole tour was amazing.The views are breathtaking,the paddling is fun and the coaches are absolutely pleasant and likable.
I would 100% recommend stand up paddle boarding with Nelson, he's friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The Coastline at Lagos is honestly stunning and I'm sure we saw more on a SUP than you would have done by boat. We were lucky that we didn't come across anyone else for the full tour meaning that it was just us, Nelson and the caves, magical. I was a holiday rep for quite a few years and have been lucky enough to do MANY excursions and I would say this is one of the best I've ever done. Thanks for giving us the best day of our holiday.
We had an amazing time paddle-boarding and exploring the caves. Nelson, did a fantastic job of guiding our group and making our experience the best possible. Would highly recommend!!
We went for the Sunrise SUP tour and it was awesome. Probably the most special sunrise I have ever experienced. Highly recommend! The guidance was professional and thorough. And we love the landscape throughout the route. The videos and photos that came after are definitely the cherries on the cake! We love them! Thank you for this wonderful experience!
Nelson was fantastic. So friendly and knowledgeable. We are a family of five — a seventeen, thirteen and twelve year old — and it was our first time trying SUP but he put us all at ease straight away and we had such a fabulous time. The scenery is amazing, the inner cave cliff jumping an absolute bonus and we will definitely go again. Highly recommend!
This was THE most amazing experience and a must if you are in the area. We did a two hour SUP tour which took us along the stunning coastline with huge cliffs, visiting caves, grottos and hidden beaches with very clam water and crystal clear blue/green sea. We opted for the first tour at sunrise which is the best time to go as the area can get really busy with tour boats after 9am. Our group consisted of 5 which was the perfect size. Our guide, Nelson, was excellent and provided us with a helpful briefing before heading out to sea. He was really engaging, super chilled and laid back and provided an interesting commentary throughout the tour. Nelson also took some great photos and footage which was shared via a link the same day.
After living here 5 years and visiting the beaches several times, we finally could see the Ingrina-area coastline from a different perspective! And so glad we booked this trip - Nelson knows every nook and cranny, guiding us through several beautiful areas with caves, grottos, sea-life and even a small area where the brave could jump from the rocks in to the sea! My girls and I are hooked and we will be back for more soon! Thank you for this wonderful experience!
Great morning out stand-up paddleboarding with Nelson and Billy. My three teens said it was hands down the best thing they did during our holiday (and given that they'd already done a waterpark, surfing and speedboat ride, that's a big call). SUPing in calm, undisturbed waters, swimming in the most crystal clear, blue-green sea through incredible cave sytems, cliff jumping and tricks (both my boys finally nailed the 360 turn - thanks Billy!). Photos and videos were forwarded to us within 48 hours. Fantastic experience!
The visit to the caves at 7 am was spectacular. Nelson was super careful and attentive and everyone, teens and adults, loved it!
Nelson is very knowledgeable about the areas where we went. I am a first timer and felt safe with him around.He gave a good prepping.
Nelson and Billy were absolutely great. Such good knowledge of the coast line and an added extra of some SUP surfing! Loved it. The Bunker Cafe next door also did amazing food for post SUPing - a day well spent!
It was great! So worth the money. Nelson our instructor was really a great teacher and took us to the most beautiful caves and secluded beach. Would definitely do it again.
Nelson was amazing! This activity is very easy and only takes about 5 mins to get the hang of it. It’s a must to do when in Lagos! It’s super peaceful and the sunrise is just stunning
Simply a stunning experience! I first went out with Nelson when he opened nearly 10 years ago. This recent SUP session was just as exceptional. He has the experience, the knowledge and the know how to be a great instructor. I always recommend this to all of my friends visiting the Algarve.
Nelson was great! I was a bit worried about the wind, but he gave great instructions, and I felt completely safe out there with Nelson as our guide. It was a beautiful spot of coastline, and we only ran into one kayaking group the entire time we were on the water!
Cliff jumping and the different caves we could swim in. Nelson is also very knowledgeable about nature and the spots we visited.
Such a beautiful experience. It lets you experience the Coast from totally different perspective, gets you closer to the unspoild nature and beauty of the ocean. Never did the paddling before but with the comprehensive training and careful guidance while on the board you, I really enjoyed it more than I could have expected. Go for it!
Nelson is an excellent guide. Very interesting local knowledge. We had hard SUPs so could be a little more adventurous than another group on inflatables. We saw tonnes of fish and other creatures and had a pod of dolphins for most of the tour. 10 out of 10.
Really amazing!! Nelson was fabulous and took loads of photos which were incredible to look back on. The whole experience, even the the pick up and drive to the beach, was so much fun and made the whole family feel like they were living there SUP dreams!!
Fantastic morning exploring a beautiful part of the Algarve off the beaten track. We are a family of four (two teenage girls). Nelson was a great teacher and a fantastic guide. He was very easy company ( speaks perfect English) and we all felt safe the whole time. Visiting caves and grottos in the crystal clear water was stunning. Plus a great sense of physical achievement. We also had a little swim into a small cave - a total bonus. Nelson picked us up and dropped us off in Burgau - great as we couldn’t hire a car (all booked!). All Covid safe (masks etc). Really recommend. Genuine review. Can’t wait to see the photos which are all part of the service. Our trip was 29.07.2021. Enjoy!!!
We really enjoyed the SUP tour with the beautiful scenery and the enthusiasm of Nelson! Definitely recommend to do the tour with Nelson!
Nelson is great! A true man of the water and knows his stuff. We had a great chilled SUP cave tour where he had knowledge of the wildlife, surroundings and always had an interesting bit of info to share on route. We had to change dates a couple of times and this was no problem and very flexible. The kit was in good condition and he took loads of photos and videos for us. Would highly recommend and do again. A real highlight!
We had a fantastic beginner sup session .Nelson was great- he gave us a safety briefing and lesson on the beach and then we were off! We then went from Praia Ingrina toPraiaBarrancos , and went inside several caves and grottoes on the way. It was amazing and Nelsons knowledge of geology and wildlife was superb. On the trip, he drip fed us several tips to improve our technique and was also great fun. We would thoroughly recommend Coastline Algarve Rory and Ele
We had a really good time doing SUP on Aljezur river and Amoreira beach together with Nelson. Everything worked perfectly, we were picked up on time and started out with a very good introduction into SUP. Nature is beautiful and Nelson can tell a lot of stories about it. A perfect experience!
We had a really great day and a great experience with a super nice guide, best pictures and cliff jumps
We spent a perfect afternoon with paddleboarding and cliffjumping with with my kids. The programme was perfectly tailored for everyone, and Nelson knew every detail of the coast. An absolutely recomendable experience.
It was an amazing experience. We had a great time!!!. The monitor gave us the necessary instructions to manage at sea and everything went perfectly. 100% recommended.
Wir haben uns spontan am Morgen für die SUP Tour entschlossen. Die Organisation hat gut funktioniert und wir können die Tour mit Nelson nur empfehlen. Unsere Sorge, dass es sehr touristisch ist und wir nur so durchgeschleust werden, war absolut unbegründet. Der Küstenabschnitt war abgelegen und fern von vielen Menschen. Nelson hat bei seinen Touren alle im Blick nimmt sich Zeit und ein großes Verständnis für die Natur. Vielen Dank für den schönen letzten Urlaubstag Nelson :)
It was mega nice, great impressions. Nelson is attentive at all times giving tips and tricks and showing you the most beautiful corners beyond the tourism hustle and bustle. We are very excited about the pictures!
Great experience. Nelson guided us well, explained the peculiarities of the sea, caves, he is attentive and really took the time with us. It was an unforgettable experience.
We were allowed to enjoy the morning tour (south coast) with Nelson to the fullest. There was a lot of great information about the country and people, the caves and the spots were really great and the equipment was excellent. Nelson himself was super open-minded and a great person. CLEAR recommendation!!!!
I have had the opportunity to experience different tours with Nelson - all of them were fantastic. Nelson is super likeable and professional, he loves what he does and you can tell. It's just fun and the nature he showed us is spectacular. Which is why we did a total of 4 tours within a week. Great experience!!!
It was a wonderful experience! Very friendly, we were given a very affordable pre-class for anyone who hasn't done padelsurfing before. We visited some caves and cliffs with spectacular views, we could even bathe and jump in some of them! Recommended 100%, we loved it!
A highly recommended experience both for trying paddle surfing and for the beautiful views. In addition, our guide Nelson was very friendly and very professional demonstrating his high knowledge about the sea, and recommended several places to eat delicious.
It is the second time I have contracted with my daughter with Coastline and I have been as satisfied as the first, when we did the coasteering activity. Nelson is an attentive and experienced guide and touring the caves in SUP is something that everyone should do at least once in their lives. One is speechless with the beauties of this coast, inaccessible if not in plank. I would definitely recommend it.
