Southwest Charters
Offering both powerboat and yachting tours of the Mediterranean area around Algarve, Southwest Charters is based out of Lagos and offers a variety of ships to meet your exact needs. ?You and seven others can charter a boat for the entire day for as little as 300 euros and engage in deep sea fishing, swimming or simply go out and enjoy the sunny Mediterranean climate on the open water. ?Rentals are available for larger parties and also on a weekly basis. ?You can also go solo with other individuals on a tour of the area for just 45 euros.

Caves and Dolphin Watching Cruise
This fun ride starts at the harbor in Albufeira, where you board the dubiously-named ship, the Insonia. ?From here, you will cruise along the coastline of the Algarve down to the Beach of Carvoeiro, spotting all kinds of interesting rock formations and coves along the way. ?After arriving, you can get out and take a swim, explore the docks and coastline or visit the grottos in the area. ?After departing here, you will be escorted out to sea to see all the schools of dolphins that frequently appear in the area. ?Prices for this trip start at around 35 euros per person.
Motorent
Sometimes, the best fun is the most organic fun, and Motorent provides a way to break free of traditional forms of transportation that limit you to where you can go throughout the Algarve. ?Offering a huge selection of traditional bikes, mountain bikes, motorized bikes, motorcycles, scooters and four-wheelers, you can either choose to ride in style on a large, motorized scooter or head off-road for fun in the mountains with an all terrain vehicle. ?You can choose to rent a bike for three, seven, fourteen or twenty-one days, with prices starting as low as 21 euros for a traditional street bike for three days.

If you are planning on taking an active holiday in the Algarve why not rent one of the Albufeira villas for the duration of your stay?? Alternatively the Balaia Golf Village is an excellent accommodation choice especially if you are travelling to the region purely for the fairways.
