At Monte Rosa we can organise all kinds of excursions and activities for you. Breakfast time is perfect for telling us your wishes, we can give you information, do bookings and maybe help you with transfer.

• Kayak adventures: Come and explore the stunning Lagos coastline. Leaving from Batata Beach you travel south following the coast line. You visit some of the smaller less accessible grottos and caves and get a chance to see the unspoilt areas where boats can not come. On the way back you will stop at one of the smaller beaches, snorkel for a while and then return to the base up to 3 hours later. Join in for some fun packed hours of adventure, exploration and excitement!
• River trip at the river of Alvor in family friendly 3-seater canoes.
• BBQ cruise: You sail in the bay of Lagos and continue along the most impressive caves and rock formatons. After experiencing this beauty of nature you anchor in a sheltered bay. Here the crew will prepare and serve grilled chicken, salad with a secret dressing, potatoes, bread and wine. Don't forget to bring your swimming/snorkel gear because the ocean will invite you for a dip. The famous caves of "Ponta da Piedade" will be shown by a smaller boat. You will experience the magic of sailing, relaxing, sippping a cocktail and enjoy the sun, sea and view...
• Grotto trip: On this two hour trip you sail from Lagos to Ponte da Piedade, where the boat anchors. Changing to a smaller boat, you will be shown the famous caves and rock formations. There is a possibility to sunbath or swim.
• Family fishing: The fishing trips are suitable for both beginner and professionals with an interesting variety of fish to be caught in the rich waters of Lagos: for example Sea Bass, Stone Bass, Garfish, Bream, Squid, Cuttle fish and Mackerels. In the relaxed atmosphere on board even those fishing for the first time will feel completly at ease. The experienced staff is there to help you. Of course you are allowed to take your catch of the day back home!
• Dolphin watching in Lagos: You are invited to a spectacular tour in the magical world of these mammals. Several species can be seen in Algarve waters, preferably from a boat with a fully trained captain and marine biologist who take into account all aspects of their well-being and conservation. They know just where to look for dolphins. By maintaining radio contact with colleagues out at sea the chance of locating the dolphin pods becomes very probable.
  The dolphins are frequently bow riding with the boat, diving beneath its hull and coming up on the other side. Since they have lungs they must surface every 60 seconds.
  Seeing this kind of wildlife is advisable in an early morning trip when the sea is calm. About ninety per cent of dolphin searches end up with a sighting. It is important to choose a reputable boat company whose concern for the animals exceeds that of satisfying the passengers' need to observe them.
