Flip flops tend to slip when wet and we can't risk slipping. There are more accidents getting into and out of kayaks than at any other kayaking moment. We will start everyday from Sagres so we expect everyone will stay in Sagres.įootwear: one pair of lightweight walking shoes and a pair of sandals and whatever you wear in the kayak which could be the same sandals.Flip flops are not acceptable as kayak footwear. Our kayaks are very stable, seaworthy expedition single models. The guides appreciate help getting boats and equipment on and off the water. Early starts also get us to our daily destination early enough to stretch our legs and visit the area. If it gets very rough we will go to some more protected areas. The water is often flat but since this is the Atlantic Ocean we can have a week of moving waters. We paddle together as a group and our speed is determined by the slowest paddler. Our groups nearly always include paddlers in their late sixties. Some days we will be covering rather long distances on the water so we expect all participants to be reasonably fit.Īge should not be a factor. We would like you to have done wet exits and bracing in rough waters. Our Algarve expeditions are vigorous but not excessively rugged.
