Definitely my best experience in Portugal. The nature was stunning, and I really enjoyed both kayaking and hiking. I just wish the tour had been a bit longer, but since we returned in the evening, there wasn’t time for more. Our guide was incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the natural beauty around here.

This trip was amazing. Our guide Mikas was very knowledgeable about the trails we hiked and where we swam and kayaked. The food at the restaurant was delicious! Highly recommend this trip for anyone who wants to see views of northern Portugal!

Myka was a great tour guide, super fun and the tour was great overall! All the activities and lunch were worth the price and would recommend to other travelers visiting for the first time. Mostly beginner friendly, and a comfortable ride to and from.
