Rent a Sup is a kayak tour operator based in Lagoa, Faro District, offering guided sea-kayak experiences along Portugal’s southern coastline. The company runs five distinct trips: Kayak Experience, Private Tour, Sunrise, Sunset Tour, and Benagil Express. Each trip focuses on exploring the Benagil coastline, with opportunities to visit Benagil Cave and other hidden sea caves and beaches.
Guided trips are led by experienced multilingual guides who provide local knowledge, safety instruction, and support throughout each tour. Small group sizes are used on selected tours to enhance safety, improve access to hidden spots, and create a more intimate experience. The Private Tour option allows guests to customize route, stops, and activities for groups seeking a tailored adventure.
Morning and evening departures include Sunrise and Sunset Tour options that emphasize calm water conditions, optimal lighting for photography, and reduced crowds.
