Activities

Grotto Trips

The rugged Algarve coastline consists of a series of beautiful cliffs, sea caves, and enchanting coves. While exploring the coastline on foot has its perks, there’s nothing like seeing these natural wonders form the water. For our guests at our Portugal surf hostel, there are a few different activities that provide just that experience.

By Kayak

The most popular way to explore the vast Algarve coastline is by kayak. Enjoy a leisurely paddle along the towering coastline and venture into sea caves, coves, and beaches along the way.

Guided Boat Tour

Ideal for small groups, a guided boat tour leaves the marina, traces the iconic coastline, and then anchors near the famous Ponta de Piedade for a breathtaking view. Book with friends or fellow guests staying at our Portugal surf hostel.

SNORKELLING

Only recommended for those with experience, on a clear day this can be the most intimate way to see the best of the caves and grottos.

STAND UP PADDLEBOARD

A more challenging version of the kayak tour and by far our favourite way to see the grottos.  Stand up paddling can be a challenging yet rewarding mode of exploration for the guests at our Portugal surf hostel.

Surf Lessons

Our Portugal surf hostel, Bura Surfhouse, was founded by surfers to spread the love of surfing to each and every guest. If you’ve never surfed before, had a bit of experience but need to work on that pop-up, or can’t stop nosediving and need a refresher course, surf lessons are for you!! We offer lessons for all levels, which include transport, equipment hire, instructor, and even a picnic on the beach.

Surf Guiding

If you’re an experienced surfer staying with us at our Portugal surf hostel, and you’re looking to make the most out of your time in the Algarve, surf guiding is the best option for you. Skip the guessing games that come with surfing a new area, and travel with our experienced guides to ensure you’re surfing the best waves for your skill level and the conditions.

Roof Top Yoga

Unwind at the end of the day with a yoga class on the roof of our Portugal surf hostel. Whether you’ve never tried it and are curious to see what the fuss is about, or a seasoned yogi, we welcome all levels to our classes.

cliff walk

The famous Lagos cliff walk is a can’t miss experience for guests at our Portugal surf hostel.  Meander along the stunning coastline and take in the best views in all of Portugal. Oh, and it’s free of charge!

MASSAGE SERVICE

If the abundant adventure activities available to our guests at our Portugal surf hostel begin to take their toll on your body, book a massage! Relax and repair your muscles after surfing, or add some extra relaxation to your holiday. All massages tailored to your needs and preferences.

COASTEERING

Coasteering is not for the faint of heart, but there’s truly nothing quite like it. Adventure along the Algarvian coastline swimming, climbing and cliff jumping to push yourself and get your adrenaline pumping.

ROCKCLIMBING

Portugal, and the Algarve especially, is full of towering cliffs and climbing crags for climbers of all levels. A fun day out, with options for beginners or experienced climbers. Take in the gorgeous scenery as you push yourself to new heights!

Mountain Biking

Mountain Biking is a great way to explore the hilly countryside in the Algarve. Get out of town and pumping those pedals on this half-day cross-country route in the Algarve countryside (routes vary depending on level).
