What it Feels Like to Paddle Here

The experience is deliberately unhurried: launching from Fuseta, you slip into calm water and move along sheltered channels, the shoreline opening occasionally to reveal broad lagoon flats and concentrations of birdlife. The two- and four-hour lengths let you decide whether to sample the park’s quieter corners or stay out longer and deepen the exploration.
