Along the coast of Portugal are views I will never grow tired of seeing. There’s something so special about seeing it on foot, especially with local guides who are proud to share their culture with you. This is a hike not to be missed! Thanks Rafael for a 10/10 day!

Incredible! Amazing views, challenging hike, awesome tour guide (Rafael). 10/10 experience. I came from US/PA, and was very impressed. Strongly recommend hiking shoes and be prepared for a 7+ mile hike with water/snacks and bring a bathing suit if you want a 5/min dip. This is a really cool off the beaten path type semi technical trail, not your standard 2-3 mile trail that doesn’t challenge you. Keep up the awesome work! If you’re in Lisbon and want to get away from the city for a half day, see some dinosaur tracks and mountain/sea views; don’t hesitate to take this trip!

Full description

Your exciting day will begin with you being picked up from your hotel in Lisbon before being transported to the start point of the hike, around a half-hour drive away.
The entire hike is along the gorgeous Lisbon coast and starts at the remote beach of Bicas, famous among surfers of big waves. You will follow a trail well-trodden path lined with arrows and you will stop at many stunning remote beaches along the way.

On the second part of the hike, you will follow a flat surface that extends from the plateau to the west. There are some fascinating vegetation and wildlife to take in along the way and some fossil remains including ancient dinosaur footprints.
Stop to take in the incredible flowers and spot some birds and cetaceans.

At the end of the hike, you will be taken back to your hotel.

I booked this tour the night before it was scheduled, but I was asked if I would switch to the limestone cliffs hike. I was more than happy to, since it was a coin flip between the two. But my review is for the limestone cliffs hike. Great communication from Ruí. Pickup was excellent, as was the conversation. The hike itself was fairly technical — and be sure to wear long pants or risk being eaten alive by the greenery that you walk through. The pace was great. The views were incredible. If you love hiking and want to get out of the city, highly recommend.
