I recently had the pleasure of taking scuba diving lessons with Lucas, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As someone who struggled with anxiety, I was particularly nervous about my first dive. Lucas went above and beyond to ensure I felt safe and comfortable. His expertise and calm demeanor immediately put me at ease. If you are considering learning to scuba dive, especially if you have any reservations or anxieties, I wholeheartedly recommend Lucas. He has truly made a significant impact on my diving journey, and I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and support!

Top notch beginner's session on SUP with fishes jumping around us. Inez (sorry I am sure I spelled that wrong) made us feel safe while keeping it playful and fun. Hope to come back again soon!

This experience was amazing! We were a bit nervous because we'd never tried kayaking before but Ines made sure that we were safe/ comfortable and we were chatting the whole time. We were on the water for about two hours so it's a good arm workout, but I would 100% recommend! Thank you!!

This kayak tour was amazing and honestly the highlight of our trip to Portugal! Joao and his wife Annabelle were so nice and made setting up the trip incredibly easy. We did the half day paddle in Sesimbra and it could not have been more perfect...great weather, excellent equipment, spectacular views, and of course, our awesome guide Joao! It was obvious that Joao has a real love and genuine passion for doing this and spending time with him was such a pleasure. I highly recommend this experience! Thank you Joao, Annabelle, and BORK You for such a wonderful day.

We joined Joao for a half day sea kayak tour in Sesimbra and it was the highlight of my time in Portugal! Paddling along the cliffs and caves was breathtaking and we even saw dolphins leaping out of the water on the way back. What really made the trip special was our guide and owner Joao. His wife Annabelle was great helping us set up the tour and even helped arrange transport from Lisbon. It is easy to see that they are passionate about what they do and truly care about your experience with them. They provided quality equipment and were very professional yet personalble making the whole experience wonderful from start to finish. Thanks again and best of luck! Ross & Doug.

We had a lovely time on our Kayak tour with Raquel! She was very informative and helpful, as we are not very experienced hah, and she is clearly very knowledgeable about the coast and the area - she successfully convinced us that we have to visit Sintra at some point. We had a fantastic time and the 2 hour session made for a great holiday activity!

We need to carry the kayaks and the papagaias into the water and it s not very pleasing. Besides, we got lost for about like 30 minutes looking for the starting point, which is very confusing, so we just wanted a notice about that at the start and we didn t have mobile to contact for help. About prices, a single kayak is worth a doubles kayak, which is not very logical, and a more stable kayak (with more area) is worth a more unstable kayak. Apart from that, I loved this experience and I am looking back to coming again!

Thank you to Carla and Lucas for managing to combine the rigor necessary in this type of activity and the relaxation that makes the whole process fun at the same time.

Enjoyed some fabulous surf ski solo sessions exploring the Lisbon area and also spectacular Sessimbra. As I was an experienced paddler from Australia, Raquel was super helpful and able to craft the sessions to suit abilities and even included an intervals training session with the local club members. However would also be a great place to learn. Next time I ll be sure to include a downwind!

Lisbon is a great city to visit but one of the highlights for me was getting away from the city one evening for a couple of hours to paddle a surfski around Oeiras with BORK. Theyve a very impressive set-up with top class equipment and facilities. Raquel is one of the best guides Ive ever paddled with, so full of enthusiasm for paddling. I hope to visit Lisbon again and will try to work the trip around a paddle with BORK.
