Good to know before you book

Where we meet, the best months to go, and how a booking with Jah Shaka works.

Where do we meet?

Where you meet us depends on the activity.

  • Kayak tours of Ponta da Piedade meet at Praia da Batata
  • Surf lessons and surf guiding meet at Meia Praia or Porto de Mós

When is the best time for SUP & CAVES — Family Private Tours?

Water activities in Lagos run from April to October, with the calmest Atlantic and the least wind in May and September. The sea sits around 20 to 23 °C through summer and is at its warmest in September, after the long summer. In July and August the wind usually picks up after lunch, so a morning slot is the calmer option.

How booking works

Pick your date, then pay securely with Stripe at checkout. We then confirm your place with the operator. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Once we have the booking confirmed with the operator, we email you everything you need for the day. Meeting points move now and then, so the email is always the version to trust.

Booked through the shop, run by locals

We are a booking hub, not the operator: every activity is run by a certified local partner, and we tell you who you are meeting and where before you go. One message reaches a real person here for the whole trip, whether that is an activity, a surf lesson or a board rental for the days in between.

Booking with us also unlocks 10% off products in the shop that week. Retail products only: it excludes selected technical products, and does not apply to lessons, rentals or other activities.
