Arrival to our Vila located close to Lagos, where you’ll check in your room and enjoy the facilities. We’ll pick you up from the bus station or train station if you’d like, or arrange an airport pick-up (contact us for the rates). We’ll then gather the team, share a home-cooked dinner and discuss the plan for the next few days. We can get to know each other better and then plant the seeds for an epic week.
You’ll start the day with breakfast. We’ll then head to our introductory site of Bensafrim to spend a half-day climbing and getting acquainted with the local rock. We’ll head back to the Vila at lunchtime, so you can enjoy a hot shower and free-time for the rest of the day.
We are on for a full-day, as we’ll head to Rocha da Pena, Algarve’s biggest and most established climbing paradise with routes for all levels! We’ll stop for a picnic lunch and keep climbing away! After another full day of learning and sharing, we’ll return to the head-quarters for showers and relaxation.
This will be a very needed resting day. You can sleep, explore and enjoy some down-time in the old town. 🙂 And since we like our climbers to stay healthy and happy, you’ll have an included restorative yoga class at the end of the day at the Villa.
After breakfast, we’ll jump on our super van with all the climbing gear needed and head to Sagres, in order to abseil and climb over its majestic 30-meter long sea-cliffs. We’ll then head back to Lagos at the end of the day for another relaxing afternoon.
The last and a very exciting day! After the morning breakfast, we’ll head to Sagres for a full day but stop halfway at an area we’ve been developing in secret. This will involve a hike, crazy access and long routes like no others in the region. All of these at a remote location right by the ocean! We will be definitely celebrating the amazing feats this night over dinner, sharing stories, and, if the energy levels permit, go down-town for a stroll. 🙂
Wake up slowly when you wish and enjoy the last breakfast. Let us know if we can help you get somewhere if you need a ride, information, free hugs or more fun!

Here at Volta do Mar we want to show our visitors the area we call home through the eyes of a local. We want you to discover places that we love, off the beaten path, far from the traditional and crowded tours. We want our experiences to feel like a day with friends, spontaneous and enjoyable.
Our small company is managed by 3 childhood friends that after years of traveling around the world, returned home to start a project that speaks to our hearts and minds.
Among the resident team, we count with 2 PADI Scuba Diving Instructors and 1 FFME (French Mountaineering & Climbing Federation) instructor.

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.
