Experience the ultimate Lisbon escape with an kayak and coasteering expedition to the Arrábida Natural Park!
Trade the city for the coast and discover Arrábida like never before. Just 40 minutes south of Lisbon, this excursion is designed for those who want to push their limits and immerse themselves in an untouched natural reserve.
The day begins with a scenic drive from the south of Lisbon to a private family farm to suit up with all the gear you need. From there, you’ll head through off-road trails to reach the oceanside, where the real journey starts. For 3 to 4 hours, you will kayak along a coastline of dramatic cliffs to discover three unique sea caves, filled with fossils and legends that trace back millions of years. The adventure ramps up as you drop anchor for a coasteering session. You’ll have the chance to climb the cliffs and jump into crystal-clear waters, ranging from small steps to 10-meter high dives. The exploration continues at Anicha Island, a Zoological Marine Reserve where you will have the opportunity to snorkel in the shallow waters that are teeming with marine life. After the workout, you’ll enjoy a full picnic lunch of local cuisine right on the beach, soaking in the best views of the coast.
As the afternoon turns to a more relaxing pace, you’ll ride back over the mountain ridge for a panoramic view of the entire Atlantic Ocean. The expedition ends on a high note back at the family farm with a toast of homemade grape juice and Port wine.
Accompanied by a skilled guide, this all-inclusive tour is perfect to disover Portugal’s coast in a sportive way!
