★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 56 reviews · from $85

Review of the Paiva River SUP tour from Porto, with small groups, hotel transfers, beginner coaching, river scenery, photos, and practical tips.

“Honestly one of the favorite tours I've ever done. I'm experienced with SUP and own my own board, but Henrique gave me a lot of tips for how I can improve. I'm sure this would be a great first SUP for beginners. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable about anything I wanted to ask him about Portugal. The river and town were quite idyllic and peaceful. Henrique took wonderful photos and videos, so great for Instagram I guess.”
