About this activity

Get on board with us and discover the wonders of the Sesimbra Natural Park, with its magnificent secret beaches and stunning caves — all guided by a local fisherman.

We'll begin at "Cais Espadarte", heading towards Sesimbra’s most famous wild beach... "Ribeiro do Cavalo".

Our next stop will be the deserted beaches of Mijona and Inferno.

We’ll then head to an ancient whaling site, where you can still see the old structures used for that activity.

Nearby, we’ll visit "Praia da Baleeira", a beautiful and peaceful beach named after the ancient boats used to hunt whales. Here, you’ll snorkel once more and enjoy a taste of a local liqueur while soaking in the calm beauty of the bay.

Finally, we’ll head towards "Cabo Espichel" to explore more caves and unique rock formations.

Throughout the tour, we’ll share stories and local curiosities about the coast and the Natural Park, that only a local fisherman can share with you — all while you enjoy the breathtaking scenery.
