Enjoy a scenic canoeing adventure along the beautiful Mondego River, Portugal’s longest river, flowing through a stunning natural landscape between Penacova and Coimbra. This peaceful descent offers the perfect introduction to canoeing, surrounded by lush greenery and diverse birdlife. As you paddle through calm waters, you’ll pass areas of rich vegetation, rocky banks, and wide stretches of river that showcase the beauty of central Portugal. The gentle pace makes it ideal for beginners, families, or anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing outdoor experience in nature.
During the summer, the river features a few small rapids that add just the right touch of excitement without losing its easygoing rhythm. About midway through the journey, participants can stop on the riverbank for a relaxing break and enjoy a picnic lunch they bring along. It’s a perfect blend of adventure, tranquility, and the pure joy of spending a day surrounded by nature’s beauty.

Very nice kajak trip. Sun cream is a must. Good for people that like the calm rivers, not the cascades and strong stream of water, but smoothly floating on undeep water. Good service. Snack possible, but planning to bring a sandwich with you is better
"They thought about everything. Every step of the day was very precise, and everyone enjoyed the travel. The Mondego River is beautiful, calm, and perfect for anyone who wants to spend a lovely day immersed in nature. It's advisable to wear comfortable shoes that can withstand moisture, and it's also beneficial to have a minimum level of physical preparation and coordination."
So fun! We did the shorter tour and next time we will do the longer one. Pretty views, nice Staff, and good opportunities to rest and take a swim in the river. 10/10
The river is lovely and the team pleasant but need to be a little better organised. One of them told us it would be chaos as it was busy but it was always busy at a weekend at that time of year...... so surely it shouldn’t be chaos. It wasn’t as bad as he suggested but we did hang around a bit at the start and we did have to spend an hour on the beach with a bar towards then end. All tours start at the same time so it’s human soup to start with (about 200 people the day we went) but it thins out after about an hour and at times we felt like we were on our own. I recommend going on a week day.
I had a wonderful trip! A bit long, so be prepared. I really enjoyed this trip because of the beautiful nature!
