Top Active Leisure Sport in Algarve

Pack a light lunch and some water. There aren't many shops nearby, so it's nice to have your snacks while enjoying those stunning views without feeling rushed.

Bring your camera but also a good phone charger. You’ll be snapping photos non-stop, and the battery drain is real. A portable charger works wonders!

Check the tide times before you go. Exploring the caves and grottos is way more fun when the water is low. I ended up missing some because I didn't plan ahead.

Try to visit around 5 PM, just before sunset. The golden hour makes the rocks glow, and it’s less crowded then. It was the best part of my trip!

Arrive by 10:00 AM for less crowds! I got in line for one of the big slides and waited way less than I would’ve in the afternoon.

I suggest looking for discount tickets online before you go. I found a deal that saved me a pretty penny and it’s way easier than buying at the gate.

My advice is to prioritize the wave pool and lazy river early on... They get super busy as the day goes on and it’s way more relaxing when there’s less people!

If you wanna save some cash, pack a cooler with snacks. They let you bring your own food, which was a lifesaver and way cheaper than on-site eats.

Definitely check the surf conditions before you go. I found out the hard way that it’s not always great for beginners, so be prepared!

If you're looking to rent a paddleboard or kayak, look for places on the mainland instead of beachside rentals. Prices are generally better and you can avoid the crowds.

I think you should wear long pants and closed shoes... I wore shorts and sandals, thinking it’d be cooler, but the horses kick up a lot of dust and it was kinda uncomfortable

My advice is to book your ride in the morning around 9 AM. It gets super hot later and the trails are quieter then too. Trust me you’ll enjoy the ride way more!

I suggest bringing your own water and snacks. The center can be a bit off the beaten path, and I found myself thirsty and hungry after riding. It’s nice to have something on hand!

I suggest booking your parasailing session in the morning around 9 AM. It's way less crowded then, plus the views of the sunrise are just stunning. We went a bit later, and it felt rushed, not as relaxing as it could've been

My advice is to bring your own GoPro or waterproof camera. They'll offer you a pricey photo package, but I captured some awesome pics myself. Just make sure it has a strap so you don’t lose it during the flight.
