Exhilarating Watersports
Portugal is a fantastic destination for watersports! We offer a wide variety of options from extreme watersports, canyoning in Northern Portugal, Azores and Madeira, rafting, jetskiing, parasailing, speed boats and more.
Fun on Land
Fast and Furious!
If speed is your thing then we have lots for you to choose from including: quad bikes, buggies, go karting and racing experiences. The first three will be the most familiar and we offer all three in the Algarve, Lisbon and the North- please contact us for full details and bookings.
Or how about biking? Focusing on the wilder, faster side of mountain biking this is really popular in Portugal and the tracks are specially designed to test your skill, speed and agility.
Climbing, Rappelling, Coasteering and Caving.
If you’re looking for a new mental and physical challenge then this could be the option for you. Portugal’s jagged coastline, craggy mountains and volcanic islands mean that you are never far from a climbing opportunity. Even if you haven’t climbed or rappelled before with expert instruction you can be up and away in no time- we can arrange days out tailored to your level in the Algarve, Lisbon and more! There are also artificial climbing and abseiling walls that will also be suitable for younger kids.
Serious climbers tend to head to the more mountainous regions of North and Central Portugal or to the peaks of Madeira and the Azores. The Azores are also home to Portugal’s highest mountain, Mount Pico which you can hike up for fantastic views over the islands.
Portugal is a superb location for caving with over 2000 caves to explore on mainland Portugal, particularly in the central region, and more along the coastline. While it’s not an adventure for the faint at heart, there are really dramatic caves that can be explored even by beginners as well as plenty to keep experienced cavers happy!
Coasteering and canyoning are two adventures that combine aspects of climbing with heart stopping thrills, superb scenery and the chance to get wet! You will make your way along the coast at tide level (coasteering) or down a river (canyoning) by any means necessary: climbing and scrambling, rappelling, jumping and swimming as you go! There are fun rives for canyoning in northern Portugal and Madeira is among the world’s top destinations for the sport. For coasteering come to Arrabida or the Algarve!
Adventure Parks, Ziplines and Paintballing
Adventure parks are increasingly popular in Portugal with each offering tree top assault courses with differing levels of difficulty to suit all ages and abilities! We can recommend excellent parks in the Algarve (Albufeira and Lagos), Lisbon and Northern Portugal!
Ziplines: a head for heights and nerves of steel could come in handy for this one; as you fly through the air dangling from a cable far above the ground. There are aerial slides in some spectacular locations in Portugal stretching their way down mountains and through woodland. Apparently some people have found that this sport has actually helped them overcome a fear of heights! Feeling competitive? Challenge your friends or family to a shootout in the Portuguese countryside! Paintballing is a very strategic game so get planning if you want to cover yourself in glory. Failing that it’s a great way to have a laugh, burn off some energy and work up an appetite. We can organize a game in lots of locations across Portugal.
Take to the Skies!
With one of the best year round climates in Europe, Portugal is an ideal place to fly. What is your style: the romance of a hot air balloon ride, the tranquility of paragliding or the death defying rush of skydiving?
