We had a very good experience with Ludyesfera. There were complications with weather and a train strike in the run up to our trip, and they were very flexible in helping us to find a new time to have the guided kayak tour (with our guide Ana). The tour was great. With no previous sea canoe/kayak experience, I wanted to go out with a guide - and it really is pretty safe, but having such a good guide adds peace of mind, as well as practical tips and information on the beach and caves etc. We had a great trip, and I think this guided tour would make a fantastic addition to a holiday in Portugal.

We hired the Kayaks on the Sunday and Ana was absolutely amazing at showing us what to do and where to go, she was there at the harbour with our kayaks at the time we had suggested. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and spoke amazing English, I couldn't recommend Ludyesfera more to anyone visiting there.

Ana is one of the best guides my husband and I ever had. It was a very sunny nice day . We went to see the royal family of dolphins near Troia peninsula . Was absolutely amazing . Ana was very kind she took a lot of pictures with us and at the end she had a surprise treat ( it was delicious ). I recommend Ludyesfera for tours, they are very friendly, good English speakers and very professional!

We booked a coastal kayak trip from the harbour at Sesimbra with Ludyesfera. Everything went as planned, the staff and kayaks were ready when we arrived and we departed promptly. The paddle along the coast was spectacular and the guide was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke very good English.

All communication with this company was very quick and efficient and they answered all email very quickly.

I would highly recommend using Ludyesfera to anyone travelling to the area.

We did the kayak trip which took us into caves through crystal clear waters, and visited a remote beach. Sea kayaking was quite hard work for us as inexperienced kayakers however it was well worth the effort to be able to get a unique perspective of the sea and cliffs. Our guide told us about the Dolphin tour which we did 2 days later. Had a fantastic morning watching dolphins and later swimming off the boat. Well organised, friendly guides, great experience!

Thanks to Rita and Claudia for a fantastic morning. As a family of 2 parents, a 16 and 18 year old we had a great time. Going to an amazing beach and enjoying a private tour for 4 hours. If you're looking for something to do that will make your holiday memorable then this is it. Get it booked, you won't be disappointed.

I've already done the kayak trip in Sesimbra and also the dolphin watch by boat. About the kayak trip, the views are amazing and the staff made us feel safe since the beginning throw out the all trip. There are small passages and caves that we explore. We've stop for half an hour on a beautiful beach called Ribeira do Cavalo where the guides kindly offered a traditional sweet and a juice.
About the boat trip, we departed from Sesimbra Marina in direction to Setúbal, where the dolphins are normally. Throw out the passage we had the opportunity to enjoy the views, and get a different perspective from Serra da Arrábida, a natural reserve, and the highly appreciated beach from Arrábida. Knowing Portinho da Arrábida, Galápagos, Galapinhos... Just when we were arriving to the entrance of the river. The guide pointed out to the dolphins , they were jumping and playing with each other's. On the way back, the guide offered a traditional wine of Setúbal.
I recommend to everyone.

Høng Privatskole, Denmark had 21 students and 2 teacher going to Lisbon for a 5 day school trip - also visiting our Erasmus partnership school Marinhos do Sal, Rio Maior.
We decided to spend one of these fantastic days in Portugal in Arrábida and Sesimbra.

We have a very strict policy, when it comes to students security doing activities in or on water, but we felt very safe during our trip. The large speedboat on close range and a guide in front and one in the back of the group, made us relax and fully enjoy the amazing scenery and unique experience.

The guides were both skilled paddlers as well as enthusiastic in telling about the life under the surface, the volcanic activity that has made the coastline so unique. Very nice, helpful and smiling guides. The remote beach they took too was a paradise for us.

This trip was not just a thing on the checklist - It was an experience for life, and I would gladly recommend Lydyesfera for a canoeing adventure - anytime!

I hope to be able to come back some time in the future.
Best wishes
