Would do this tour 100x again, Joao and Pedro were awesome guides. Made it fun and exciting! One thing I loved is it was never rushed, we took our time and were able to cliff jump multiple times if we liked, and hung out at different spots, cliff jumped multiple times. Just all around great day!!

We had a wonderful time 😎🌴🥥!! Dennis was the best!! The day was lovely and Dennis made sure the experience was a 10/10 🥰🥰 I would totally recommend it and I would also repeat it myself 🔁 😋!!
Miguel was an excellent host for an excellent day out. Created a very relaxed experience, involving and informing throughout. Went over and above in both little details like coffee and biscuits, to stopping off to taste a very specific wine for my daughter (who is a sommelier).
Very well organized, great experience Our tour guide Dennis was amazing Extremely helpful and very informative and well prepared we we couldn’t ask for more We highly recommend it and recommend Dennis as an amazing tour guide
My daughter really liked the trip! Dennis was nice to everyone and super talkative. He told us what its like to live in Portugal and how many languages he learned. He respected boundaries, made jokes and made sure we all had a great time. For me I am fearful of the ocean and questioned if this was a safe activity. I almost cancelled- had listened to a podcast about an orca attack recently and wondered why i would expose my child to such a danger. But the guide was very cautious and we were never at risk and we had a great time! Thank you Dennis!! -from a cautious mom
Dennis was a great guide! We had so much fun kayaking, snorkeling, and cliff jumping. He made everyone feel at ease and made sure safety was top priority. Highly recommend this experience!
Amazing experience and great vibes as a small group! Our guide, Denis, was super chill but also knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating. Even the car ride there was a great time getting to know the rest of the group. It's great that Denis was there to take all the photos with his GoPro so you don't need to bring anything onto the kayak. The tour is very well structured with a good variety of activities without tiring you out too much. Snorkelling finds were pretty good - saw big jellyfish and an octopus, don't expect amazing coral reefs. As someone who can't swim, I still had an amazing time (with a life vest) and built the courage to do the cliff jump! Some warnings: the water very cold, and do bring your own lunch/snacks since options otherwise are limited.
Participated as a solo female and absolutely loved it! Felt thoroughly safe (including my belongings, which were kept in a locked van), supported, and entertained from start to finish. Denis was an incredible guide - helped give me the courage to jump from a decently high cliff (cliff jumping was completely optional by the way). Loved the versatile activities from kayaking, cave exploring, cliff jumping, to snorkelling. A trip I will remember for a very long time. I whole-heartedly recommend it, even if you are solo! I’d recommend bringing your own lunch/snacks if you are vegan or vegetarian (or have other dietary requirements), as there aren’t many options to purchase on the beach. Was such a special way to experience Portugal ❤️
Denis was amazing and such an amazing vibe! We had such a fun time on our adventure today. Kayak, snorkeling and cliff jumping. We had a great time and I would highly recommend this tour
I liked the activity very much. Denilson lead the adventure and he was very professional and did a great job of explaining the activity and gave good guidlines without it being overwhelming.
Such a memorable and fun experience with kayaking, snorkeling, and cliff jumping! It was cold, but the wetsuits 1000% handled the length of time im the water. The guide, Dennis, was fun and made you feel even more willing to be adventurous throughout the entire tour! Definitely recommend!
Denis was the absolute best tour guide ever! He showed us the best sites for snorkeling, cliff jumping and cave exploring. I would highly recommend doing this excursion as you will be able to get up close and personal with wildlife and the beauty of Portugal from the water.
The trip was amazing. Pick up and transportation was easy and the views and coastline were amazing. It was all made even better with our guide Denis. He made the experience extra special for my 2 kids. He was attentive, caring and took every chance he could to make sure they were having an amazing time. Would totally recommend for anyone with kids. Thanks again Denis, Ryan says it was his best adventure on the trip.
The instructor was amazing and he took very good care of us. He was very personal. I hope we get him again if we go again.
What a great experience! A fun, short day trip out of Lisbon. The water is cold but definitely don’t let that deter you. The wetsuits keep you warm. We kayaked out to a snorkeling spot where we got to swim through some caves. (The snorkeling was just okay- don’t expect a Caribbean experience. But it was beautiful nonetheless.) Walked through a huge beautiful cave where we cliff jumped out of after. We even saw a jellyfish while kayaking! Dennis was an amazing guide - knowledgable in history, animals, and the landscape. He was also a great driver. We always felt safe with him. The zoo is a very easy meeting point. We took the metro directly to the zoo entrance. We got back to Lisbon and told our friends who traveled with us and they were so jealous we had this experience so close to the city. Highly recommend!
Dennis, our guide was on time for pick up- he’s a fun guy with Great vibes. He speaks English with ease is a wonderful instructor. After kayaking out to some rocks, we snorkeled - saw many fish, sea cucumbers, and a cuttlefish! We then paddled to the caves where st. Margret’s shrine is located- fascinating geology all surrounding the caves! Great day with great folks on our excursion from all over!
I can't speak any higher of Denis and Sonny, these guys created an amazing energy from the get go. They are people who care about you & your day out, great path and some beautiful views. Book your trip with these guys and you won't regret it!
The trip was worth it just to spend an afternoon with Sunny and Denis! Good driver, cautious guides, funny and cool guys. I felt safe the entire time and would do it again! Thanks for the amazing afternoon.
Absolutely incredible experience!! Sonny and Dennis were the best guides! The vibe was amazing immediately from pick up all the way to drop off! The views were spectacular and the caves were beautiful! Be warned the water is very cold but the coffee and cookies provided go down really well! Ps! If you’re looking for the best deep fried cuttlefish the cafe on the beach is the place! 100/10 best activity in Portugal!
Tour guides were amazing! Made the whole experience! I had a great time being solo. An experience I will never forget!
Wow! What a great day out in the sun! Easy pickup and around a 1h drive to the beach to begin our adventure. We spent the next few hours kayaking, snorkeling and jumping into the ocean. The team was fun to be with and all safety gear was provided. Unforgettable!
One of the best parts of my stay in Lisbon! The pickup and drop off at the Zoo is very convenient, as there is a metro station right there. Both of the instructors Sunny and Miguel were super energetic the whole time, and very encouraging. It’s a great place to kayak— not as many waves as there are in the ocean across most of Portugal’s coast. We jumped off three different cliffs, which was super fun! It’s definitely going to be one of the things I always remember when I think of Lisbon. It’s tiring work to kayak, swim, and climb, but it is so rewarding. Like Miguel said, it’s not an adventure if you’re not tired after!
Really nice experience. Very nice crew! Totally recommend it.
Amazing experience. I would definitely do it again!! Miguel knows what he is doing and it shows. I recommend!
I had a fantastic time. By no means am I a great swimmer but the tour guide filled me with confidence and not only did I feel safe, I maximised the experience. The kayaking was good fun, the snorkelling was great and so was the cliff jumping. The insight knowledge the tour guide was fantastic, not just in Arribida but driving there. He gave a thorough and expansive guide to Lisbon and it was great. I honestly couldn't recommend this enough.
Mission accomplished! First time kayaking- Antonio gave a clear demonstration on how to be successful and I feel like a pro now! I love his historical knowledge and told us about the landmarks and historical highlights of the area. Because our instructor is an avid in the water and understands the animal’s behavior, we got to see some octopuses!
A fantastic experience with an excellent guide. Both interesting and a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend for a top exp
What a great day! Antonio was a fantastic host, hugely informative, friendly and efficient. The tour lasted around 4 hours, the location is beautiful and would thoroughly recommend!
This was a fun experience, Miguel and Antonio were perfect guides who talked about and showed us lots of interesting things. All the safety gear was provided by them and they made sure that we had an amazing but fun experience whilst being 100%. I would definitely recommend this trip weather you go alone or with a partner or friends.
this was a great experience especially if you visit Portugal! Antonio our guide was very knowledgeable and encouraging
Stunning views, amazing guide Had a wonderful experience. Difficult to describe in words. Strongly recommend to nature lovers and adventure enthusiast.
Antonio was a fantastic guide. He shared knowledge about Lisbon history and nature life. We got to see an octopus and it was a perfect day in n the kayaks.
This was a highlight of my trip to Portugal. An excellent day with a very fun guide, Antonio. I highly recommend and would give him 10 stars if I could.
Fantastic guide who gave a fascinating history of Portugal on the drive out. Beautiful setting. Excellent briefing and extremely safety conscious. Mix of kayaking, snorkeling and a visit to an ancient cave. Quite a physical day needing strong thighs and core but absolutely worth the effort.
Antonio was excellent! Was my first time snorkeling but he made sure that I got all the help I needed and was super patient! Even for the cliff-jumping activity he was extremely supportive and motivating. Five stars all the way.
It was a really wonderful and fun experience (albeit a somewhat physically demanding one), and since it was our daughter's birthday and she absolutely loved every bit, boldly willing to try everything out, it meant a lot to us! Kudos to António, our guide/monitor/mentor, who went out of his way to make this an unforgettable adventure, with his skill, experience and care! He's the man! Needless to say, we highly recommend it.
Passionate guide who loved telling us about his beautiful country and national park and what Kiwis call a Rahui. (Protected waters). The trip itself lf was spectacular, beautiful snorkeling, fun kayaking and an amazing history lesson. Antonio went out of his way to keep us safe and happy. Very highly recommended.
Antonio was an amazing guide. This was truly the adventure of a lifetime. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone especially with António!!
I can absolutely recommend you this tour! It was exciting with varied experiences. António was our guide and he was amazing! He told us many interesting facts about the area. He was extremely considerate and looked after us, which gave me a great sense of security. Thanks again! :)
Would highly recommend this tour. Our guide Antonio was very knowledgeable and clearly interested in what he was telling us which made it very engaging.
This was one of the very best tours I have ever done. Antonio was just incredible and worked so hard to make our experience amazing! He was kind and patient, super knowledgeable and really charismatic. We had a great adventure and learned a ton about Portuguese history and the ecosystem in the area. We loved this experience. Thank you to the tour company and HUGE PROPS to our guide Antonio. This one deserves a million stars!
We were a group of 5 adults and 3 kids, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the 4-hour guided experience with António, which included kayaking and snorkeling at Creiro. António took care of every detail and explained each step, along with interesting information about the Serra da Arrábida and its history and wildlife. An amazing day in a very special place with the safe guidance of António.
It was an amazing experience. We had a fantastic time kayaking and snorkeling with Antonio at Creiro beach. We also visited a cave and jumped from a rock and we received coffee and biscuits. Antonio explained us a lot about the sea fauna and about the geology of the coast as well as about the history of the cave and he explained all the activities so it was easy to follow even if it is the first time kayaking and snorkeling.
The Tour was great. A lot of fun nice views alongside the caves. Also the Tour guide was very funny and made this tour to an exiting event
The instructor António is lovely! Bubbly personality very friendly and helpful. He tells you historic facts as you kayak past certain points which is very interesting. Very patient so if you haven’t done this activity before don’t worry you’re going to absolutely love it!
António was a very prepared and knowledgeable tour guide. Everything went smoothly. I recommend him to everyone!
We have done a lot of tours all over and this one was one of the best ones by far. Antonio our guide was amazing!! He was kind, knowledgeable, and patient with my family and our whole group. My family has a variety of ages and levels and everyone was able to participate and enjoy! Antonio brought a snack with him which was really nice and the beach was absolutely beautiful. This tour had a little of everything snorkelling, swimming, cliff jumping, exploring a cave, and lots of kayaking. All of it was really enjoyable and we all felt really safe and well looked after by Antonio. We would absolutely do this tour again and will be telling all of our family and friends who travel to Portugal about this day trip. Thanks again antonio for an amazing day!
Amazing, amazing experience! Antonio was so knowledgeable and friendly. Our kids loved the tour as well and were so excited to see an octopus while we were snorkeling! We would book again!
This trip had a bit of everything, thoroughly enjoyed it! Would absolutely recommend. The highlight was the cliff jump.
The tour allows you to explore the Atlantic shore in the Arrabida natural park that is beautiful and different from what you see in Lisbon. Kayaking, exploring shore caves, then snorkeling around a small volcanic rock island were well organized and highly entertaining. Our guide Antonio was knowledgeable and caring. A good tour, highly recommended.
