Itinerary
Start your coastal discovery at the mouth of the Mira River. This picturesque spot offers a stunning contrast between the calm river waters and the Atlantic's power, set against the backdrop of one of Alentejo's most charming villages.
Visit a unique location where storks nest on the sea cliffs—the only place in the world where this occurs. The panoramic views from this lighthouse are among the most dramatic on the entire southwest coast.
A brief stop to admire this iconic whitewashed village perched on the edge of the cliffs. The view over the local beach is a perfect postcard moment of the rugged Alentejo shoreline.
Experience the border between the Alentejo and the Algarve. Odeceixe features a unique horseshoe-shaped beach where the river meets the sea, surrounded by majestic cliffs.
Climb to the ruins of this 10th-century Moorish castle. From the ramparts, you can overlook the old town and the green valleys that lead toward the Atlantic.
Follow the clifftop roads of Carrapateira for breathtaking views of the wild coast.
We pass by the famous Amado Beach, a surfing sanctuary known for its raw beauty and golden sands.
Conclude your journey at the Algarve’s most famous rock formation. The golden limestone stacks, sea arches, and turquoise grottos of Lagos provide a spectacular grand finale to your coastal expedition. After this point we'll take you to your hotel in Algarve or Back to Lisbon

This was a great trip thanks to our wonderful guide Mr Rui Catalao. He show us not only the most beautiful beaches but also told us interesting facts about history of Algarve and Portugal. He helped us to get tickets for a Dolpin watching and Benagil caves boat trip, which was actually not part of planned trip. He just adjusted our trip to our wishes showing us what was planned and much , much more.
Dear Grazyna, Thank you so much for your kind words — it was truly a pleasure to spend the day with you in the Algarve! I'm so glad we were able to fit in the dolphin watching and the Benagil caves — those spontaneous moments are often the ones that make a trip truly special. It's always my goal to make sure guests leave having seen and experienced as much as possible. I hope to welcome you back to Portugal one day! Warm regards, Rui
We learned so much and there was never a dull moment. This was our second tour with Felipe and he not only knows his stuff but keeps the day moving and entertaining. The stops along the coast are gorgeous and worth it for anyone to see. I would love to have more time visiting Algarve but as we only had one day we totally made the most of it. Highly recommend.
Filipe was a wealth of information-Portugal history, cork, fishing, geography - you name it, he could answer and add in a bit of humor. We all had a blast, even the kiddos!

We thought the Algarve would be the star, but the drive down became one of our favorite memories. The scenic coastal stops added so much beauty to the day. I especially loved the moment we reached a beach with no one around, just the sound of waves.

We did a day trip from Lisbon. We didn't have time during our visit to stay, but found the long day included plenty of stops with beautiful views to enjoy while we stretched our legs. Our driver and guide, Fatima, was very friendly and able to answer a wide variety of questions we had about Portugal and the areas and towns we passed through. If you only have a day, absolutely worth it. If you have longer, let Fatima transport you to your next adventure!
