Canoeing: find your river
Mondego, Alva, Tagus or Zêzere: each river brings a different landscape and route.
Find your experience
How to choose
Start with the area, then compare the duration and route of each descent. The Zêzere sections are separate experiences, not stages of one booking. Each activity explains return logistics and transport for drivers.
Check the included equipment, footwear and change of clothes before organising your group. River conditions can affect the choice of route.
