“Wonderful experience, beautiful scenery and the guide Tomas was outstanding, would recommend!”
Kayak from Sesimbra through Arrábida caves to Ribeira do Cavalo Beach, with calm-water swimming, local sweets, and striking coastal views.
“The guides micromanaged us a bit during the kayaking experience, which limited our ability to explore on our own. While their concerns were understandable, given the conditions in this area can be very rough, it did take away some of the adventure. Even in the summer, the water can be challenging, and it would have been nice to have a bit more freedom to navigate. That said, the guides were knowledgeable and provided useful safety tips, which helped ease any worries about the conditions. Overall, while the experience was enjoyable, I would have appreciated a bit more autonomy to truly immerse myself in the surroundings.”

Review of Arrábida coasteering and speedboat tour, with cliff jumps, caves, swimming, safety tips, price, and practical advice.
“We booked the tour for our friends birthday and it was amazing. The Jumps were really cool and the caves were really pretty. Our Guide Rafael was the best😁👍. He made us feel safe throughout the tour and even gave us some advice for other spots we can visit in Portugal. Totally worth the money.”
Watch Sado dolphins, explore Arrábida bays, and cruise past beaches and forts on a lively two-hour boat tour from Setúbal or Tróia.
“The boat was fast and very comfortable. We were able to locate the dolphins after about 20 minutes of looking. We spent about 1/2 hour with the dolphins. Some of them swam right under our boat. The water was very clear so you could see them underwater. The guides were very informative. Then we toured the coastline which is beautiful with the guides telling us about points of interest.”

“We took an Uber from Lisbon (to and from) & it was very easy to get to! The beach alone is absolutely beautiful, and our guide brought us to amazing sites. He showed us a hidden gem tucked away in a cave and had us kayak through a little island. Our guide was so patient with us as we fell off of our kayak & went at a slower pace. This was such a fantastic team to adventure with!”

“We had such a great time! It was the first time doing proper via ferrata with gear for us and our guide Rafael was really good at explaining everything and guiding us along the way. Was really cool to find about the local flora and fauna as well - and the views, wow! We will definitely be doing more via ferratas in the future, such a fun way to explore the nature! Thanks again for the experience and much recommended! :)”
Kayak Arrábida’s clear waters, snorkel at a wild beach, and enjoy local guides, Lisbon pickup, gear, drinks, and GoPro photos.
“We had the best time kayaking, snorkelling, swimming and eating on this day trip. Arrábida was so stunning and our guides made it an even better experience, we were picked up and dropped off in Lisbon (where we were staying) which made it a super relaxing day for us because we didn’t have to think about getting there and back. We were well taken care of by Miguel, André and Diego all throughout the day and have been recommending the experience to all the people we’ve met since. We would 110% do it again!Read more”
Try scuba in Arrábida Marine Park near Lisbon, with certified instructors, a speedboat ride, coral gardens, and remarkable sea life.
“The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. i came with my 13 year old son to experience the dive together. Once got fitted with the diving suit, fins and mask we took a great boat ride to the diving site. Before we could dive, we had to do some initial training for breathing and to get water out of the mask. my 13 yo struggled with this and was very frustrated, but the guides were VERY VERY patience and continue to calm him down and try again and again. eventually he decided not to dive but i went through the dive. It was a great experience as you…”
