Beautiful surroundings, cool adventure tour!

Because of the somewhat busy environment, we could park 5 minutes further. Very friendly received by lady at the desk. This friendly enthusiastic tone was continued by our female guide who gave the instructions clearly and with humor. During the trip several times jumped off rocks which was very cool. Swimming and climbing we went from rock to rock, where there was a little break. The pace was therefore doable! Definitely recommended!

Operator response

Hartelijk dank voor deze geweldige recensie! We zijn zo blij om te horen dat u zo'n fantastische ervaring heeft gehad met onze Coasteering tour. Het is fijn om te weten dat zowel de ontvangst als de gids een positieve indruk hebben achtergelaten en dat u genoten heeft van het springen van de rotsen en de prachtige omgeving. We hopen u in de toekomst nog eens te mogen verwelkomen voor een nieuw avontuur!

Great physically demanding and adrenaline pumping activity

Great physically demanding experience. The staff was great and funny. The one thing I do not like is that they charge you for shoes and shorts. They should just include that in the price and not try to charge extra. They should also offer a picture package because you cannot bring your phones

Operator response

Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for joining us for coasteering in Arrábida. We're thrilled to hear you had a great, physically demanding, and adrenaline-pumping experience, and that you enjoyed our staff's humor! We appreciate your feedback regarding the equipment rental. Our goal is to keep the base price as accessible as possible, which is why we offer the shoes and shorts as an optional rental for those who need them. We understand your point, however, and will definitely take it into consideration. You've also raised a great point about a picture package! We are always looking for ways to improve our service, and this is a wonderful suggestion. We hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Exhilarating, fun and safety focused

Our coasteering experience with Vertente Natural was the highlight of our holiday. We took our 13 year old kids along and they had the time of their lives, scrambling around and leaping off into the crystal clear waters. We were all exhilarated by the experience and would highly recommend this fun filled adventure. Francisco and Letícia were incredible guides. They ensured we all had a great time, whilst keeping everyone safe and reassured. Both were calm, kind and full of good humour. Thank you so much!

Operator response
