From the sky you see the Algarve coast stretching beneath you with golden sands, cliffs, rock formations and the clear blue lagoon waters that make this region one of the most unforgettable places to visit. You do not need previous experience since a professional instructor handles every step. It feels intense, energetic and surprisingly peaceful at the same time which makes it one of the best things to do in Algarve for first timers who want pure adventure.
