4 must-do activities in Portugal
The coolest activities on the Portuguese coast
Are you dreaming of an adventurous road trip through Portugal? We've gathered four unique experiences that will make this journey a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From surfing at Arrifana to dolphin spotting along the coast in Lagos, these activities promise adventure and memories that will last forever!
Get to know the surf culture in one of Portugal's most beautiful bays! Arrifana is the perfect spot to take your first surf lesson or improve your skills. Imagine this: you're on your board with breathtaking views of the steep cliffs, while the warm sun shines on your face. The consistent waves and laid-back atmosphere make it an ideal place for both beginners and advanced surfers. After your surf lesson, you can unwind in one of the cozy beach bars and enjoy the relaxed vibe of the village.
Fun fact: The bay of Arrifana has nearly perfect surfing conditions almost all year round due to its unique location!
Hop on board for a spectacular ride along the coast of Lagos! During this three-hour boat trip, you'll sail past impressive rock formations and hidden caves that make the Portuguese coast so special. The highlight? The wild dolphins that often swim alongside you! From the Marina de Lagos, you'll head out into the Atlantic Ocean, where these playful marine mammals come to greet your boat. With a bit of luck, you'll see them playing and jumping in the crystal-clear water.
Tip: Bring your camera, but don't forget to just enjoy the moment too. The sight of playful dolphins against the backdrop of golden cliffs is unforgettable!
At Fornalhal Novas, you'll stay among the vineyards and experience the true Portuguese wine culture. The passionate owner will take you through the vineyards and share his love for traditional winemaking. The tasting is the highlight of your visit – choose between three (€20) or five (€25) different wines, served with a delicious platter of Portuguese tapas. Enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine or buy a bottle to take home.
Good to know: During the wine tasting, you'll learn all about the process and the flavors, so even if you have little wine knowledge, this is a fantastic experience!
Start your day with an unforgettable adventure on the water in Sesimbra! During this kayaking trip, you'll paddle past mysterious caves and towering cliffs. You'll explore the intriguing Devil Fish Cave and glide along Mule Cove. The absolute highlight of the trip is the hidden beach of Ribeiro do Cavalo – a pearly white beach that's only accessible by boat. The crystal-clear water and surrounding cliffs make this one of the most beautiful spots on the Portuguese coast.
Insider tip: Bring a waterproof bag for your camera – the caves and hidden coves are too photogenic not to capture!
