We rented a kayak for 2 for €70. The guy took a long time to serve us, I understand that he has to serve those who arrived earlier, but while he was serving us, he left us "on hold" for almost 20 minutes because he was late and "the next shift" arrived.
After all the waiting time, the kayaking activity began. You can skip it, you can see the same thing by going by boat to the island of Tavira which costs €5 for 2 people round trip.
In short, I recommend moving on from the topic. -
