Take into consideration that the Land Rover is a vintage car, built for the mountains but not for comfort- some parts of the ride can be uncomfortable.
Some of the seats of the 4x4 vehicle are not forward-facing, and taller travellers may feel cramped.
Being a vintage car the seatbelts are different from modern cars, some seats just have the waist belt.
If you suffer from car sickness you should take medication before the tour or bring it with you on the tour.
Infant seats are available - children must be accompanied by an adult.
Age restriction: 5 to 75 years old.
The kayak activity is approx. 1h30min.
The paths are downhill and uphill. Terrain can be slippery and you might need to scramble over some rocks.
This activity is available from April to October.
The itinerary can be altered to make the most of what the National Park has to offer.
The tour may be cancelled/rescheduled: due to bad weather conditions.

The entire day was amazing - Cata was super friendly, knowledgeable, and had an exquisite music playlist that we loved in the car! We will definitely recommend this to our friends for the stunning views and fun day out. Thank you so much!

I had an amazing day at Peneda-Gerês National Park! Our guide Diogo was so friendly and shared tons of interesting facts about nature and the region. The kayaking was so peaceful and the scenery in the park was stunning. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Mags – United Kingdom
My friend and I had a great day out visiting the national park. I thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking and the lunch was the best we had in our Porto holiday. We then had a short hike to see the waterfall and have a lovely swim. Nice to get away from Porto itself and see other parts of Portugal you wouldn't normally see. Ines our guide was excellent. Punctual, informative and she spoke English perfectly. Definitely would highly recommend it
Lucas – Germany
We had a great time on the tour! Kayaking and swimming at the waterfall were amazing. Lunch was lowkey but really tasty. Our guide Mikas was super friendly and had an excellent playlist for the drive. She also gave us some great tips for places to check out in Porto and nearby. We’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to escape the city buzz for a bit.
