Exciting SUP Ria Formosa Experiences Await
The Ria Formosa Natural Park spreads out through 60km of coast line in the beautiful Algarvian Eastern Coast from Cacela Velha to Faro in the Algarve – Portugal. Full of enigmatic little places it is well worth exploring over the waters.
You will join us in a private Paddleboard Tour that will bring you peace, calm and well-being while experiencing paddleboarding in a fun and safe way. You will get all the information related to the lagoon’s sailling rules and the technical issues of the sport aswell so that you can go on your own in a following tour. On top of it you will get to see Cabanas and Ria Formosa from the water.
You will enjoy a beautiful tour away from the crowd even in August, in the Algarve.
It will be mostly you and Nature.
Why explore the Ria Formosa in a SUP?
The stand up paddle in the Ria Formosa is thrilling because it combines the simplicity of the sport with a direct connection to nature. Every paddle stroke allows you to explore calm channels, deserted islands, and salt flats that mirror the sky, creating an almost magical setting. The still water gives a sense of lightness and freedom, while the proximity to birds, crabs, and the typical flora of the natural park turns each trip into an immersive and sensory experience. Moreover, the contrast between the smooth movement of the board and the vastness of the lagoon creates a unique feeling of balance and control, where every moment is both relaxing and stimulating. Paddling here is more than just exercise: it’s a way to connect body, mind, and nature, to feel the wind and the sun, and to discover the beauty of the Algarve from a perspective that few have the chance to experience.
We can also organize a challenge/teambuilding tour so that you and your family/friends or colleagues will have even more fun!
If you are interested in this ” SUP Challlenge/Teambuilding event” we promisse you that you will have great fun and a lot of laughs.
If you are visiting with your parents and kids, we offer you a 1h tour for 4 people of 3 different generations for only 100€.
We want to be part of your family album these holidays.
We advise you to bring water, a snack/fruit, hat, shorts, tshirt or lycra and sunscreen. All insurances are included.
The meeting point will always be Eolis shop/office in Cabanas de Tavira village in the Eastern Algarve.

Stefan
We have been out on the water with Sandra as a couple for two hours. It was simply amazing!
She taught us how to paddle with the SUP in the most efficient and safe way. It is easier than you might think!
We explored the Ria Formosa and learned a lot about the wind, the tide, the fish, and the plants. Sandra was very happy to answer questions about Portugal, Tavira, Cabanas, and offered some good tips on what to explore or where to eat the best fish.
She always made sure that we had a nice time and took some nice pictures of us so we can remember the tour.
We had a very nice time and felt welcome. If you like being out in the water, you should definitely check out their tours.
