Full-Day West Coast Adventure with Hiking, Sunset, Dinner & Wine
Hey there, traveler!
Since 2013, I have been crafting, refining & sharing this unique experience, one small batch at a time, with thousands of guests from around the world.
-- MY APPROACH IS MY OWN
I choose wilderness & remoteness over tourist destinations; intentional, mindful travel over superficial sightseeing; interaction & collaboration over passive following-along; discovery & learning opps over photo opps; improvisation & flexibility over checklist traveling; rustic, physical experiences over easy mass-market ones.
-- MY AIM IS SIMPLE & SINCERE:
To share a travel experience that's not just fun, but meaningful; not just good for us, but for the world; not just a social-media moment, but a memory for life.
-- MY EXPERIENCE IS AN EXPRESSION
This tour reflects my own personal passions, values, & vision of this special corner of the globe. I'd love to share it with you!
Discover Europe's most undiscovered coastline on a one-of-a-kind journey deep into the Algarve's Costa Vicentina Natural Park, aka "The West Coast."
My hands-on, handcrafted adventure blends movement, action & discovery with wonder, reflection & appreciation, then finishes with a special sunset food experience.
This is not the Algarve you expected: This is her wild side, the 'End of the World.'
And this is not a sightseeing tour: This is a full-sensory outdoor experience designed to challenge, inspire & (re)connect.
Sitting on the beach just isn't enough- This was made for you.
*** BONUS: Escape the heat! The West coast stays cool all summer long.
>> OK, HERE'S THE PLAN
Every trip is unique & unpredictable, but on each one we will:
ESCAPE the crowds to explore the coast's most remote corners.
HIKE across Portugal's tallest cliffs, most dramatic landscapes & most secret beaches.
LEARN the land's history using stories & all our senses.
SWIM in the sea, if we want.
WITNESS a magical sunset from the edge of Europe.
ENJOY a clifftop dinner of Algarvian tapas & wine.
SQUEEZE every last drop out of the day.
RETURN home refreshed, rewarded & ready for a good night sleep.
