Best Lisbon Half-day Tours

We (couples) went coasteering today and it was amazing. The route was demanding and therefore extremely exciting. The guides were very friendly and tried hard. On the way we each got a bottle of water and a traditional snack. We climbed and jumped off cliffs, swam and saw seagull chicks and cool grottos/caves. 100% recommendation from us!

What an unforgettable experience! We hiked, climbed, cliff jumped, swam, and zip lined along the beautiful limestone coast. Francisco and Marcel were fantastic guides who shared fun facts along the way and made sure we were comfortable and safe. We also took a break for water and ate a traditional Portuguese snack, farinha torrada. You take a boat to the harbor at the end, so you don't come back the way you came! Coasteering is a physically demanding activity, but if you're up for the challenge, it is SO worth it. Bring a swimsuit, close-toed shoes, board shorts, towel, and a change of clothes. Changing rooms are available and they also safely store your belongings in the office. Helpful tips: wear comfortable shoes that fit well - there's a lot of rocky terrain. Buy cushioned soles (like Dr. Scholl's Air-Pillo insoles) to put in your shoes. If you usually wear glasses, they recommend not wearing them for coasteering (you'll be swimming and jumping into the ocean), so plan accordingly.

Hopping on and off the bus in Portugal was a super convenient way to explore and see all the main attractions, which was great! To make it even more fantastic, clearer audio would be a real game-changer, making it easier to hear all the info. Plus, imagine how much richer the experience would be if the commentary shared even more interesting stories, fun facts, and maybe some local secrets about the places we were visiting?

The drivers on the buses don’t seem friendly and they literally drove around Lisbon at breakneck speeds not allowing for proper viewing or photos. The stops weren’t always announced leaving one to wonder where we were. The boat ride however, was delightful. A full 2 hours - no commentary at all however but being on the water was very nice.
