About
On our Solar Powered Cruiser, we set off to the atlantic ocean, to explore some of the coastline between Lagos, Portimao and beyond. We visit isolated, quiet secluded coves away from the crowded beaches where you will have plenty opportunities to enjoy the local wildlife, seeing bird nesting in the spectacular cathedral-like rock formations along the rugged cliffs. We anchor by one of the coves to swim & snorkel in the clear blue waters amongst the fish. (subject to favourable conditions). All equipment is supplied free of charge along with drinks & snacks. We also add in 3 paddle boards for you to use!
