It was a great experience, our tour guide tried her best to keep us satisfied. The only thing we didn’t like was a rough water and it made it very hard to paddle. My 12 yr old son got tired and seasick and I had to work harder to get us moving, even I started to feel seasick. We were expecting a chill canoeing, taking it slow and enjoying the view and the weather but it was actually like a full on training day and not much time to enjoy and chill, just had to kept paddling like crazy. I was exhausted at the end. But great experience regardless and the view was amazing. I wish we got sent the pictures that our tour guide took of us because we never got a chance to pause and take pictures ourselves (except one time when we had a little break on the ground). Would go back when the water is calmer and easier to paddle but maybe that’s how it is on the ocean all the time, I don’t know?!

Hello Jane, We appreciate your feedback on the experience with us. We try to make the activities pleasant, but we have no control over the weather conditions. We are sorry that the experience was not wonderful and, it is not at all usual for the sea to be very rough in these places, considering that they face south. We hope that in the near future, you will come back to Sesimbra to visit us again to do new activity with us and take this way excellent memories.

We were fortunate to organise a trip to the caves with Vertente Natural. The guide was quite simply a fountain of knowledge for geology and the history of the caves. The outing was very relaxed and we could take our time to explore and learn more. I would recommend this team to anyone looking for a unique experience to do something exciting, whilst learning about the environment and the people. Will we return? Absolutely.

What a great adventure this is. It was a wonderfull trip! Beautifull sight on the sea and the cliffs and some real action climbing, jumping from cliffs into the water and swimming. A must do activity! We enjoyed our guidance very much. My 10 year old son loved it! Thanks for this wonderfull day.

We had a great time in Sesimbra! O.K. maybe we were very lucky, but everything was perfect for us! Enric, Ana and Chantal (in the boat) were very attentive and helpful guides. We had a very cool and motivated group of 9 people, great weather and were able to enjoy this wonderful coast from its best side. Since everyone was so motivated, we pushed each other and jumped off all cliffs. It was so much fun and I would recommend it to all adventurous and sporty people. We loved it and wanted to book again for the next day, even though we had to travel from Lisbon (45 minutes drive). But unfortunately there were no more places available. But we'll definitely be back. Thank you so much for this unforgettable day!

The trip started out with a mishap, because I had confused the dates and ended up booking it a day earlier that what was supposed to. Vertente Natural were super comprehensive about this situation and helped us find a solution to make the trip happen anyway. We ended up with an incredible guide, Jorge, who was super nice, chill, informal and made us feel like he was showing us around his home :) It was super worth it, we went to really beautiful places and always with fun facts and curiosities provided by Jorge. If you ever decide on a trip on a 4x4 jeep, make sure to ask for Jorge :)

We're a family of three with a fit and active 16 year old, a fit mom, and a middle aged slightly overweight dad. Leonor, our guide, organized a perfect day of sea kayaking and hiking that took into account all of our needs and abilities. At the end of the day, the car we had hired to return us to Lisbon could not find the office. Although the office had closed for the day, Leonor very kindly stayed late in order to talk to the driver on our cell phone on how to get there. She even offered to drive us back to our hotel in Lisbon herself if the driver did not show up. Fortunately for all our car did finally arrive, but we will always be thankful to Leonor for an excellent day and her gracious kindness at the end of the day.

As a group of 8 colleagues meeting face-to-face for the very first time, Vertente Natural took great care of us and gave us a thrilling day to remember. We planned to do Coasteering but sea conditions did not allow and so we did the Via Ferrata course across the cliffs near Sesimbra instead. Our guides Henrique and Mariana were polite, kind, friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. We felt safe at every point thanks to them - well as safe as you can feel hanging off the edge of a cliff anyway! The whole day was expertly organised for us by Sandra too.

This was the perfect teambuilding activity and our discussions of it continued long into the night.

Thank you again to everyone and we strongly recommend trying for yourselves!

Jumps actually are the most fun part. Plenty swimming. Kris was our guide. After the first hour, with some tips from Kris, we learned to "work with the sea", using the energy of the waves to 'launch-up' on rock etc. We explored caves that would be inaccessible probably even with a boat. On that note, we later got a chance to meet the guide, who also just so happens to be one of the top personnel in Portugal for Speleology. how cool! That's for next time. The rock climbing was beginner level and easy. My first in swimming with climbing gear though.The whole experience was so awesome. go Coasteering!

We've participated in a few activities with Vertente Natural and they are always super fun, professional, knowledgable and kind. I highly recommend any activity with them. Serra da Arrábida is a truly beautiful place and they always make sure we understand why it's so important to protect it.

An electric bike tour with a very good balance between adventure, sightseeing and history.at a nicely paced rhythm. Unique sights at the great Arrabida area.
The tour guide was knowledgable and provided quite curious details on many aspects throughout the tour.
The electric bike helps a lot on the climbs, making the tour accessible to even those who are not physically fit and allowing heterogenous groups (in terms of fitness) to participate and enjoy.
Highly recommended, especially for those who like outdoor activities.
