Family activities to do in Gerês
Peneda Gerês National Park is the unique Portuguese protected area classified as a national park and has increasingly been the choice of families to spend their holidays in contact with nature, surrounded by stunning waterfalls and breathtaking landscapes.
Although Gerês is the perfect destination to relax, it is also a good opportunity to visit the park and spend a fun family vacation. Sometimes choosing an activity for the whole family is a challenge, but we have good suggestions that suits everyone.
Stand Up Paddle
The Stand-Up Paddle is a unique experience that allows you to relax and enjoy the river landscapes at your own pace without much difficulty. It is an activity that anyone can try as it does not require any experience.
As it is easy to learn and accessible to everyone, it is a great activity for families with children, so you can enjoy a water experience in a different way. Furthermore, the Stand-Up Paddle does not need specialized guides.
At Tobogã you will find all the material you need to practice this activity: vest, paddles and boards. For a family activity, we have available the Dragon board for a joint experience for up to 4 people or a Ride XL board, 5 meters long and about 1.50 meters wide, is ideal for families up to 8 people.
For a family activity in Gerês, the Stand-Up Paddle can be a great option. Get to know more here.
Canyoning
Another very fun water activity in Gerês is the canyoning. For those who are still unaware of this activity, please read the article “Outdoor Sports: What is Canyoning?” and watch our video.
The canyoning tour in the Peneda Gerês National Park will allow you to explore the natural beauty of the Portuguese canyons, where you can see huge mountains, beautiful waterfalls that form crystal clear lakes and untouched forests full of wildlife. You will get to know places that would otherwise be impossible to access.
