A Must Do When In Lisbon

Every person that goes to Lisbon needs to visit Arrábida, located just outside of Lisbon. The incredible beauty of this park is fascinating and provides quite a different experience than the city of Lisbon. There is no better way to experience Arrábida than with the InArrabida tours. Our tour guide, Miguel, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. He aided us in our exploration of the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean on the kayaks, climbing limestone, learning about the history of caves, cliff jumping into the water, and snorkeling to discover marine life. I would highly recommend this experience filled with beautiful views and adventure to everyone because Miguel is very accommodating to the groups needs and interests. We had the very best day on our excursion! Miguel went above and beyond to provide a great experience of a special part of Lisbon!

Super quiet excursion! It's safer to enjoy the landscapes and drink good wine haha you shouldn't expect a hike I love this excursion especially thanks to our guide José who shared anecdotes with us along the way but also I loved this slightly more intimate side of the excursion since there were only 2 of us to participate, I had the impression that José was a friend at the end of the day. Thanks to him!

My friends and I booked this last minute and it was AMAZING! Miguel was so nice and helpful, while being patient with everyone in the group! He is so friendly and knows so much about Portugal. The whole day was a DREAM. Kayaking, cliff jumping, and snorkeling were the most fun thing I have done while in Europe. Highly Recommend!!

My friends and I had the best time with Miguel!!! He was kind, fun and very knowledgeable about the area we were in! He made sure we were safe but also having a fun time. I will never forget the day we spent kayaking, snorkeling and cliff jumping ! I hope to come back soon!!!

This was a very pleasurable day out. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable & super friendly! Also a great driver! Def would recommend this trip!
