    We had an absolutely fantastic experience kayaking with Naiara as our guide! From start to finish, she made our adventure truly memorable.

    We arrived at 1 pm on a Sunday afternoon without an appointment. No one was at the Sesimbra store initially. When we called the number listed online, John was on his way back to the store. He was very friendly and provided all relevant information and instructions. We rented double kayaks. Although we were only beginners for kayaking, it was still a really pleasant experience. It was a nice trip to the nearby beach, Praia do Ribeiro do Cavalo. The views at the beach were amazing. We even saw dolphins during kayaking, which was a fantastic bonus. We got back later than the store’s closing time because of our inexperience in kayaking. However, John and his colleagues waited patiently for us at the dock and welcomed us back. We highly recommend this place!

    We bought a guided kayaking tour with a double kayak for a four hours. Weather was just good - not too hot and still sunny and enough warm. A guide was a very lovely young woman and she really let us to enjoy of our tour. It was very nice experience and good exercise. Borks service was really friendly and good. We will go back for sure when weather is again nice and good for kayaking. Guided tour for 2 person cost 70€.

    We came in the morning to Sesimbra, and had not booked in advance. Luckily Carlos was in the Bork office and arranged a private kayak trip for us right away. We had very little experience, but he gave us a crash course at the start of the trip. We had a great time kayaking around the west coast by Sesimbra. Carlos was super helpful and easy to get along with. And he didn't seem to mind when I accidentally turned the kayak over. With me and him in it. We felt safe and in good hands for this entire trip. We give Bork and Carlos our best recommendations.

    Best kayaking trip ever!!!!!! The employees are incredibly helpful and friendly! My mom and I took a kayak out to go climbing and the owner helped us by directing us to the beautiful beaches and coves and took great photos of us! Great equipment, low prices, and overall fantastic experience! I might have to come back to Portugal just to kayak here again!!!!

    We loved this kayaking. The views of the cliffs, caves and beach were amazing. Annabelle was very informative on the types of paddle/strokes that we needed to make and this gave us confidence. She took pics and also lent me a wetsuit before starting the journey. Just one thing, make sure you give yourself time to get there, specially getting out of the city of Lisboa with morning traffic. We took an uber who decided to get gas before driving us to Sesimbra. Nonetheless, a great experience - Thank you!

    We had a great tour for our group of 9. Annabelle was extremely helpful in organising a time for us and our guide Rodrigo was great. He took us to the best stops and was a good laugh for the whole tour. Would highly recommend as it made all of our holidays!

    Had an amazing morning in the kayak tour with Bork. The staff was super nice, informative and attentive to the group questions. The tour covered some of the most amazing sights at the national park "Parque Natural Serra Arrábida". I would recommend the tour to anyone looking enjoy the views from a different/more refreshing perspective. Thanks to Bork and it's staff for the great adventure.

    Brilliant experience kayaking. We had Rodrigo as a guide and he was excellent, we really enjoyed a fairly leisurely trip out and were incredibly lucky to spot some dolphins just off the coast.

    5 stars would not be enough for what the whole team did for us. We organised together the activity for 25 people and the BORK Team was fantastic! They were better than expected. The cherry on the top is that I lost my GoPro Camera and they scuba dived, recovered it and brought it back to me in Lisbon. I don't have words of gratitude for the gesture! Thank you so much guys!

    The best kayaking experience we’ve been to. We enjoyed it so much! The guide was awesome! Super fun and informative!

    We made a wonderful kayak tour! Michael was a very friendly and enthusiastic guide, knew a lot to tell and was caring towards the group members. Helped a tired child by dragging him on a rope on the way back. Please bring your own drinking water, which is not included. The snack is a cookie, feel free to bring something to eat. And pack your things in a waterproof (plastic bag). Nice that Michael took pictures and videos.
