Praia do Cação boat tour with beach bath and trampoline

A boat ride to a sand beach with a trampoline stop, oyster farms and a chance to see sea lions

This is a two-hour boat tour from Praia do Cação that sails past Baía de Zimbros, Tainha, Aguada, Porto da Vó and Canto Grande before stopping at the main beach for swimming, photos on the trampoline and a visit to local oyster and shellfish farms. The boat holds small groups without music or crowding, and lands directly on the sand so families, elderly travellers, pregnant women and people with reduced mobility can board and swim without walking or climbing. A live guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese or French.

• Pass beaches Tainha, Aguada, Porto Da Vó, Canto Grande

The experience

The boat departs with a minimum of four people and takes a route along the coast that passes five named beaches before reaching Praia do Cação. Along the way you'll see the fisherman's village and the top of the hill overlooking the water. The guide points out the marine fauna of the area and explains the local environment as you travel.

At Praia do Cação the boat pulls directly onto the sand, which is the reason families with young children, pregnant women and people who cannot walk or swim can still join. You stop for a sea bath and photos on the trampoline, and in winter months there is a possible sighting of sea lions. The guide then takes you to visit the oyster and shellfish farms that operate in the water nearby, showing how the local seafood is cultivated.

The boat itself is designed to avoid crowding and runs without recorded music, so the focus stays on the water, the stops and conversation with the guide. Bad weather can require a change to the bathing stop location, and the operator will adjust the plan if conditions demand it. Photos taken during the tour may be shared on the operator's social networks.
