What you can expect

Become immersed in the glorious Arrábida Natural Park, learning more about the ecological history on a private tour. Explore the lagoons, see clifftop views, and lounge on the golden sands of Portugal's beaches before visiting the fishing town of Sesimbra.

Meet your Around Lisbon guide at your local Lisbon hotel for your day trip to Arrábida National Park and Sesimbra.

Hop aboard your air-conditioned minivan and cross the 25th of April Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril), often compared to the Golden Gate bridge of San Francisco.

Drive about 40 minutes and arrive at the stunningly green Arrábida Natural Park. Enter the park while learning from your Around Lisbon guide the history of this protected region, and reach the cliffs of Meco Beach, where you can admire the beauty of the Western Coastline - the western limit of the Natural Park.

Cruise onward to the beautiful cliffs of Cabo Espichel (Cape Espichel). Here, hop out to see Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichel, a 600-year-old religious site where pilgrims gathered to honour Our Lady of the Cape. Then, snap some clifftop panoramic shots of the stunning views over the Atlantic Ocean.

Next, drive to the charming seaside town of Sesimbra, where local fishermen haul in fresh catches from the ocean. Stroll to the Moorish castle and discover its medieval roots. Afterwards, stop for lunch (own expense) fresh fish in Sesimbra.

Rejoin with your Around Lisbon guide and continue driving by unmapped roads to explore the Southern Coastline of the Park, where you'll discover St. Margareth's Cave (moderate walking required) and the charming Portinho da Arrábida harbour.

Continue by a curvy seaside road, admiring the gorgeous beaches of Arrábida, to Setúbal, where you'll visit the Casa da Baía Centre, an historical XVIII century building hosting local products and an interpretative centre about the resident dolphin community.

Alternatively, spend some free time soaking up the sun and swiming at Galapos, Galapinhos or Praia dos Coelhos, Arrábida’s hidden golden beaches.

After an adventurous day ride back to your Lisbon hotel where this tour ends.
