About this activity

From October to March, Nazaré becomes the natural stage for the world’s biggest waves. On this boat trip, you’ll head straight to the heart of this phenomenon, exploring the place where the Atlantic reveals its true power and beauty.

Every trip is different, always shaped by nature:

Giant Waves – When the ocean is at its peak, witness the breathtaking walls of water breaking near the Nazaré Lighthouse.

Surfers in Action – On training days, watch elite surfers challenge the most feared waves on the planet.

Canyon & Village Interpretation – Even on calmer days, the experience is guaranteed: we’ll sail to the Canyon, share the science and stories behind the giant waves, and admire Nazaré’s coastline from the sea.

Whatever the day brings, the experience is always unique.
