About Us

Activity Algarve is run by Paul Beesley, a former IT specialist involved in Internet, e-commerce and IT security.

"Having always been a keen walker and cyclist and having spent many years visiting and exploring the Algarve region of Portugal, it felt like time to put the two together and create Activity Algarve."

"We provide a range of activities to enable you to make the most of your time away on holiday, to get to see the real Algarve and to benefit from our extensive local knowledge."

"We provide a complete service including transport, accommodation and guides for all activities if needed. We can even take you to the best places to eat in the evening if you wish! All you have to do is book your own flights and we’ll take care of everything else!"

FAQ

Do we need to hire a car on an Activity Algarve holiday?
No it is not essential, as the holiday prices include airport transfers and transport to and from your daily activities. However if you would like the added flexibility that having your own car would give you then we can organise this for you, just contact us with your requirements.

What does an Activity Algarve holiday include?
Our prices include airport transfers, accommodation and daily transport to and from your daily activities, as necessary. Our prices do not include meals and any local charges associated with specific activities, ie golf green fees.

Can we choose our own accommodation?
Activity Algarve provide a choice of value for money accommodation near to where most activities take place. If none of our options are suitable then contact us with your requirements and we are able to search out a suitable alternative for you.

Does it matter what day of the week we arrive?
No, we are happy to be flexible and allow you to choose the most advantageous flights that you can find.

When is it cheapest to fly out to Portugal?
It is best to check on a number of the web sites listed in our “flights” section. It is usually cheaper to avoid school holiday periods and also flights over a weekend.

Will we be on holiday on our own or with other people?
It depends on bookings. You may be here at the same time as other people, but choosing to do different activities. However if you choose to do the same activites as other groups then we will usually join you up with like minded clients.

How fit do we have to be to go on holiday with Activity Algarve?
we recognise that individual fitness levels vary. So we will discuss with you what you think you are capable of doing and arrange activites that are suitable for you. If you spend a large part of your daily life sitting in front of a computer, we wont expect to take you on a 20 mile hike up hills on your first day.

What if we just want to see the sights and not do any activities?
No problem, we can probably accommodate you anyway. Just let us know the dates that you would like to come and we will let you know if this is possible and confirm prices for you.

Do we get chance to relax at all or is the pace “hot”?
We can make the pace as relaxing as you like. We need to take into account the weather at your chosen holiday time. If it is too hot, then you may like to have more relaxing daily activities, along with some time by the hotel pool.

Are we near to any lively nightlife?
Generally our accommodation is in quiet areas. If you would like to visit somewhere lively, then we can make recommendations, or even take you there. Vilamoura, Vale Do Lobo and Albufeira are all reasonably close by. If you would like advice on where might suit your taste, then we can help.
