Water sports and leisure activities Porto And North

Beginner, intermediate or advanced, Porto Surf School, offers you surfing group lessons, or private lessons. From the centre of Porto, the professional team will take you to the best spots of the day, and will accompany you to progress in the practice of this attractive surfing sport. The Douro Stand Up Paddling (SUP) Tour offers you to spend the day paddling on the Douro (1 hour from Porto). A great way to discover the beauty of the landscapes of the Douro Valley in an original and sporty way.

This water park, located in Rio Caldo, in front of the marina, will make you spend good moments with friends and family. It is the opportunity to swim (without paying), to have fun in the course of inflatable structures installed in water (slides in full safety assured!). You will also have the opportunity to try or improve your stand-up paddle, from 30 minutes to several hours. In summer, when the park is open, the water is about 24°C, an excellent temperature for swimming. An address to remember and experience.

This water park, located a little less than twenty minutes by car from Guimarães, is entirely outdoor. This is why it is open from July to mid-September every year. Young and old alike will have fun (and swim, of course) in the various pools, and will happily slide down the slides. You will find changing rooms, a bar-restaurant, relaxation areas and sunbathing on the lawn... We advise you to plan at least half a day to enjoy the water park, even if it is not extremely large.

Located on the Picoto mountain, with a breathtaking view of Braga and its surroundings, Picoto Park is an adventure park for young and old, depending on the type of activity. Within the park, children will enjoy climbing the artificial wall, playing paintball or climbing the tree. Outside the park, older children can go on a canyoning expedition in the Peneda-Gerês park or go kayaking. So many possibilities for fun, exercise or simply relaxation.
