Description of Canoeing on the Paiva River, Arouca 3 hours
There are different ways to face the current of a river, all of them quite enjoyable. But if what you want is to enjoy the landscape that surrounds you at the time of the tour, then your thing is to take a two-seater canoe, with capacity for two people, and begin the descent with a friend, partner or family member.
It is indescribable what visitors feel when they approach the vicinity of the Paiva River. The same thing that happens to them when they delve deeper into the Arouca Geopark and discover, surprised, the sounds, tones and shapes that nature has engendered here.
Native species of wild flora and fauna inhabit its space for your pleasure. We will repeat it as many times as necessary, exploring this place aboard a canoe with two seats has to be unspeakable. The testimonies of all the clients who have already tried it attest to this. Everyone has left ecstatic.
Free your mind and let yourself be seduced by the charms that this canyon has in store for you, you have three hours of travel time to achieve it. I'm sure you'll be amazed from minute one.
We mix fun with moments of peace and tranquility and other purely educational moments in which the history of the place will be explained to us. All of this is led by a qualified instructor who acts as the leader of the boat and as a school teacher at the same time. If entertainment is guaranteed, safety is an even greater priority.
This is an ideal activity to share as a family, so we have thought that anyone from 4 years of age can participate.Also remember that children under 12 years old have an additional discount. Also that it is a flexible adventure that adjusts to people with special needs.

Safe, fun, nature, have to come back for more. That's the thought that persists after an incredible time with the company's team.
As a Porto native who has lived abroad for some time, I was delighted to win a rafting experience as a birthday present where I could just let myself go (because these guys really know what they are doing), be off the beaten path (not all know that this 1.5h detour is worth including in your weekend trip to Porto), enjoy the stunning scenery (Seriously. Breathe it in…) and have fun (Did I mention the amazing sense of humor the guides have? ).
How could I better connect myself to the north of Portugal? I went rafting with my dad and a friend. It was a mild day with some more intense moments. We had kids, young adults and experienced seniors on the boats. I'll be back for more as soon as I can, mainly because there are tracks and modalities for higher intensities too.
Gonçalo was the perfect guide. Possibly all these guys would exude this vibe of having everything “under control” and being thoughtful, easygoing, funny and able to adjust to both wild spirits and quiet souls. I'll find out next time.Review useful for 0 people Did you find this helpful? Yes
