Description

This exciting Algarve family adventure is designed for everyone to have an amazing time. Both children and adults will enjoy a fun program that combines the gorgeous Algarve landscapes and views, with upbeat and high-paced -but safe- activities, and the delicious goodies that Portugal is famous for.

The program lasts 8 days, with one free day, in which you can choose from a variety of activities or do your own thing. You can find an outline of the itinerary we will follow below.

Some of the scheduled fun includes:

Sea kayaking: from the river estuary to the sea, and then some playtime after a picnic before returning for a slice of cake.

Adventure walk: either to a beach for a nice swim or to a big lake where we can have lunch before walking back. 

Bodyboarding: a great way to understand waves, and a fun way to spend the afternoon for all ages.

Surfing:  learn to surf, play beach games, and enjoy the Algarve sun.

Climbing: on this introduction to climbing, we will learn some basic skills such as using gear and tying knots. We will then put these skills to practice before heading to Sagres to taste some of the best ice creams in Portugal.

Coastal bike trip: this fun bike ride will take us across rivers,  through forests, and to a little coastal village for an ice cream break and a swim. Option: Transfer or ride back.

T-Shirt Painting: whether you need a break from the sun or a rainy day option this is a really enjoyable family activity that complements perfectly with the overall adventure. 

On your free day, you can choose between:

Archery

Boat trip: this half-day adventure to the southwest tip of Europe is sometimes a great way to catch sight of dolphins. 

Farm experience: actively collecting eggs, picking fruit, and possibly planting trees. 

Night walk: a great introduction to stargazing. 

Swimming in the lake: where you can also kayak, try a zip-line, or just spend some time on the deck.

Cabo San Vicente excursion: to watch the sunset.

Field games

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
