What people are saying about Sagres

We had a blast with Nelson, he was an excellent guide. This tour was fantastic, an amazing way to experience the Algarve coast. The jumps were progressively increased in a way that allowed you to feel comfortable going to the next height up. Be sure you are comfortable climbing, obviously not afraid of heights, and in good physical condition. The only recommendation I would have for improvement would be to find a way to provide water or to allow for clients to bring their own as I found I was very thirsty by the end of the tour.

We were staying in Lagos and met up with our guide Nelson in Raposeira. From the meeting point we drove 5 minutes up to the cost. We got suited up with our gear and started our fun. Jumping, climbing, jumping, climbing and this continued until we made it to 10 meters. Nelson, was a fantastic guide, he cared about our comfort and our safety. What a fantastic day!!!

It was a very great experience! Jim and Bobby did a great job! They were very helpful and knowledgeable at all times. They adapted the route to the participants and we felt very comfortable with it. It was a lot of fun and the group was very relaxed.

Well organised. Meeting instructions simple and easy to follow. Relaxed approach but safety maintained at all times

Amazing experience and guide I can only recommend this activity!
