Most holidays can give you the opportunity to have a go at one or two sporting activities you may not have tried before. For example you’ve got windsurfing or maybe some snorkelling if you fancy something a bit more relaxing.

But in the Algarve you can have a go at something called blokarting. If you are wondering what on earth it is the clue is in the name.

Everyone knows what go karting is. And blokarting takes that to the next level by adding a sail to what looks like a three wheeled kart. If that odd combination appeals to you, you’ll love blokarting when the wind gets up!

You need to be prepared to pick up a bit of speed if the wind is going in the right direction though. You’ll be sitting in a slightly laid back position and there is always the chance that the three wheeler might tip you out if you’re unlucky! It’s a pretty safe sport though and lots of people are finding that the blokarting location in the Algarve is ideal for trying it out for the first time. It benefits from almost constant breezes at the very least, and it can really pick up as well.

Look for Blokart Sagres in the Algarve as this is one of the best places to go to try out what is also known as land sailing. Somehow blokarting is a much better description of what to expect though. Land sailing sounds a little bit too laid back. And you will certainly remember your first attempt at blokarting as you breeze along the ground propelled by a tough sail with the wind behind you.

It’s located in Vila do Bispo, which is in the far bottom left hand corner of the Algarve itself. The location not far from the coast certainly counts for the good and windy conditions that you will find there! If you aren’t sure whether you want to have a go or not, go along and have a look at some other people doing it. We’re sure you will end up getting strapped in yourself to give it a go.
