If you’ve made your way to Lagos, you’re already winning. This little town on Portugal’s Algarve coast has it all: sunshine almost every day, dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and that laid-back vibe that makes you want to stay just a little longer. It’s a paradise for surfers, adventurers, and anyone looking to soak up the beauty of nature with some adrenaline on the side.
At Jah Shaka Surf Shop, we’re here to help you get the most out of your stay with a lineup of unforgettable outdoor activities. Whether you’re chasing waves, exploring caves, or just partying on a boat. Let’s dive into all the experiences you can book with us to make your trip to Lagos even more epic.
Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been chasing waves for years, our surf lessons are designed to match your level. We offer both group and private sessions, and our experienced instructors will have you up and riding in no time. Lessons take place on some of the Algarve’s most beautiful beaches, where the surf is consistent and the vibe is pure joy.
Looking to go solo? We’ve got surfboard rentals for every style and size: shortboards, longboards, soft-tops, stand-up paddleboards. Just pop into our shop or book in advance to secure your perfect board for the day.
Kayaking in Lagos is one of those bucket-list experiences you don’t want to miss. You’ll paddle along the stunning coastline, gliding over crystal-clear waters and weaving through the famous grotto caves. With experienced local guides, you’ll discover hidden beaches and quiet coves that you simply can’t reach on foot. It’s calm, beautiful, and suitable for all experience levels, even complete beginners.
Only €35 per person (with a €10 deposit online and €25 paid in cash on the beach). Start your kayak adventure from right here in town.
Want something a little more chill than surfing? SUP tours are a perfect choice. Easier to pick up than surfing, paddleboarding offers a peaceful way to cruise over the ocean and into sea caves. Our Sunrise SUP Tour is a favorite. Catch the golden morning light while paddling through the iconic grotto caves before the crowds arrive. It’s like having the whole coastline to yourself.
Prefer to explore on your own? We also offer SUP rentals at great prices so you can take your time discovering Lagos from the water.
Ditch the car and explore the Algarve’s beauty on two wheels with our E-Bike Tours. We ride full-suspension Scott Strike eRide 930 bikes, super comfy and perfect for all terrain types. You can choose between a 2.5-hour (25 km) or 4-hour (40 km) tour, and routes typically follow the breathtaking coastline from Lagos to Burgau or Cabanas Velhas.
If the group’s feeling adventurous, we might head inland to charming villages like Barão de São João or Pedralva. These tours are designed to match your pace—relaxed or speedy, it’s up to you.
No trip to Lagos is complete without a grotto boat tour. Cruise past sandstone cliffs, marvel at Ponta da Piedade, and weave through sea-carved caves and tunnels. Our Bom Dia Trip on a traditional Portuguese sailing boat includes time for a swim, sunbathing, and even a BBQ on board. These small group tours (max 11 people) are perfect for families, couples, or anyone wanting a laid-back way to take in the Algarve’s stunning coast.
Time to switch gears. Joyride Surron Tours give you the chance to explore off-the-beaten-path Algarve on powerful electric dirtbikes. They’re easy to handle and eco-friendly, letting you ride deep into the forests and hills with zero emissions.
We offer three tour types:
Looking to kick back and have some fun? Our Booze Cruise is a 3-hour party boat with a live DJ, swimming stops, and unlimited drinks (yes—vodka, gin, rum, sangria, beer, and more). Cruise along the coastline, dance on deck, and meet fellow travelers for an unforgettable afternoon at sea.
Perfect for solo travelers, groups, or anyone in party mode.
Coasteering is hands down one of the most thrilling ways to explore the rugged coastline between Lagos and Sagres. You’ll swim through sea caves, climb rocky cliffs, and jump into the clear blue Atlantic—all under the supervision of certified guides. Starting from Raposeira in the Costa Vicentina Natural Park, this 3-hour adventure brings you face-to-face with nature and adrenaline. We have options for both adults and kids.

Imagine surfing, but with a motor—E-Jetboarding on the Alvor Lagoon is one of the most exciting water sports around. No previous experience needed. After a short intro and boat transfer, you’ll be riding across flat, calm waters at up to 44 km/h (or up to 60 km/h with the pro model). It’s fast, fun, and incredibly unique.
Perfect for thrill-seekers or first-timers who want to try something truly different.
Take your adventure to new heights—literally. Skydive from 15,000 feet (the highest jump in Portugal) and enjoy jaw-dropping views of the Algarve coast during your freefall. Tandem jumps are available for first-timers, and experienced skydivers are also welcome. Sun, sea, and sky: this is the ultimate adrenaline rush.
