ACTIVITIES

Dive into a world of adventures and discover everything we have to offer. Here, we create the perfect setting to live memorable moments, whether you're seeking the tranquility of a solo journey or the joy of a day with a group.

Let yourself be surrounded by the stunning landscape of Gerês and find the ideal activity for you.

Kayaks

Single or Double Kayak

The kayaks are a great way to discover the hidden corners of the lake. Very easy to use — suitable for beginners or experienced paddlers — they allow you to quietly explore the 4 "arms" of the lake. With family or friends or even alone with nature, a kayak trip is always a good and healthy option.

We have a range of kayaks: single and double seaters. The double kayaks can accommodate a small child seated in the middle (up to 90 centimetres high).

"Sit on top" kayaks are the easiest for general use as they offer the possibility to jump in and out of the water — being possible to climb back on board in deep water and if you capsize you can right the kayak and continue without having to return to the shore.

"Sit in" kayaks are slightly more comfortable, offer a drier ride and are good if you wish to take a tour. However, they are difficult to jump in and out of and, if you capsize they fill with water and it is not possible to right them until you are back on dry land.

Katakanu

Katakanu - up to 6 people

These are a catamaran type canoe – very stable (almost impossible to capsize) which have up to six places and also space to carry equipment or a picnic!

A great option for a family or group of friends wanting to explore the lake together.

Pedalo "Swan"

Pedalo - "Cisnes"

We have pioneer pedalos (as used in Hyde Park) available to rent. These are solid, uncapsizable pedalos with two pedalling places and room for four adults and a child.

(A tip: start your trip against the wind so the return journey is easier!)

Motor Boats

Self Drive - Motor Boats

To discover the landscape at a different pace (and without any physical effort), we have some boats that can be piloted by you! After a brief explanation and demonstration of how to drive the boat, you can set off to explore the Reservoir.

These boats can carry up to five adults or a combination of adults and children up to 440 kg. Depending on your choice, we have some boats equipped with a shade structure.

Prices include fuel and life jackets.


For those who prefer to have a driver/guide, there is no additional cost.

Speed Boats

Boat Tours

We have powerful boats that are used for tours, teaching skiing, wakeboarding and kneeboarding amongst other disciplines and also for our very popular high speed tube rides.

Tubing

Tubing - Full Fun

If you would like to fly across the surface of the water, this is your chance! In inflatable tubes towed by our powerful boats, you can experience the thrill of a flight over water.

We always have a range of inflatables to try and the main differences are the follows:

  • Sitting on a multiperson inflatable tube offers the least likelihood of falling in the water and is a comfortable position to experience the ride. You can bring your friends and all have fun together!
  • Lying face down on an inflatable increases the sensation of speed, as your face is closer to the water. You will need to hang on tight if you don´t want to slide off in the turns!
  • Individual tubes also known as rings or donuts are generally our most popular choice. Here, each person is sitting in their own tube—with up to four tubes being towed each time. It is quite likely that you are tipped into the water on this ride. When this happens the driver will return for you and after you have remounted you are ready to go again.
