Full description
Discover Arrabida Natural Park and Sesimbra on a Day Trip from Lisbon. Learn about the history of the region from your expert guide, admire the beauty of the coastline, and visit a Moorish castle, lunch on fresh fish and swim at a hidden beach. Meet your guide at your local Lisbon hotel for your day trip to Arrábida National Park and Sesimbra. Hop aboard your air-conditioned minivan and cross the 25th of April Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril). Drive for about 40 minutes and arrive at the stunningly green Arrábida Natural Park. Enter the park while learning from your guide the history of this protected region, and reach the cliffs of Meco Beach, where you can admire the beauty of the Western Coastline. Cruise onward to the beautiful cliffs of Cabo Espichel. Here, hop out to see Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichel, a 600-year-old religious site where pilgrims gathered to honor Our Lady of the Cape. Then, snap some clifftop panoramic shots of the stunning views over the Atlantic Ocean. Next, drive to the charming seaside town of Sesimbra, where local fishermen haul in fresh catches from the ocean. Stroll to the Moorish castle and discover its medieval roots. Afterward, stop for lunch (own expense) fresh fish in Sesimbra. Rejoin your guide and continue driving by unmapped roads to explore the Southern Coastline of the Park, where you'll discover St. Margareth's Cave (moderate walking required) and the charming Portinho da Arrábida harbor. Continue by a curvy seaside road, admiring the gorgeous beaches of Arrábida, to Setúbal, where you'll visit the Casa da Baía Center, a historical XVIII century building hosting local products and an interpretative center about the resident dolphin community. Alternatively, spend some free time soaking up the sun and swimming at Galapos, Galapinhos, or Praia dos Coelhos, Arrábida’s hidden golden beaches. After an adventurous day, ride back to your Lisbon hotel where this tour ends.

Nounou (hopefully that's right) picked up all the guests at the hotel one by one. When the last ones were collected, he explained the rough daily routine. During the trip he shared a lot of interesting information with us and explained a lot about the economy and local life. We saw a lot, took lots of great photos and had a wonderful time! We also stopped at a great photo spot in between. The view is simply breathtaking! An absolute recommendation - especially if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Lisbon for a moment.

We did several tours in and around Lisbon with several companies, but this one was by far the best. Transport was punctual and good, the tour guide was really relaxed and friendly and told us a lot about the portuguese lifestyle and the places we visited. Every single question was answered with a lot of details. The landscape and the places we visited were beautiful and not crowded at all. It was a great and individual tour. We were given the time we needed at every stop and there was free water, too. I can totally recommend it!

An absolutely amazing day out from Lisbon. So happy we booked this tour. We saw so much of the natural beauty of the park, tasted amazing local cheese and fresh fish in Sesimbra and loved relaxing on the stunning beach at Praia de Galapos. Nuno our guide shared his local knowledge with us and was flexible with the well-planned itinerary which meant a bit more beach time - perfect for such a hot day! Would totally recommend.
