Hiking, Eating & Outdoor Adventure Tours
to the Algarve's wild West coast & the End of the World
- Lagos, Portugal | Since 2014 -
Journeys of discovery for body, mind, soul — & stomach
I get it: Sitting on the beach just isn't enough.
This is much more than a hike: This is a one-of-a-kind adventure travel experience designed to activate the body, quiet the mind, energize the soul & satisfy the stomach.
Did I mention the food & wine?​
​​
Let's go beyond the beach... Let's go West!
Join me for an unforgettable, off-the-beaten-path hiking adventure along the Algarve's wild West coast and magical Vicentine Coast Nature Reserve, a place so dramatic & remote it was thought for thousands of years to be the End of the World.

Follow your curiosity
First of all, this is not your typical tour
This is something refreshingly-different:
​
​​I create immersive, bespoke adventure travel experiences in the wild Western Algarve. My trips are carefully-crafted to blend nature, movement, & discovery with space for wonder, relaxation, & reflection. I load them with laughter, learning, & storytelling, then finish with a special sunset feast of Algarvian tapas & wine, crafted with local flavors and lots of love.
​​​
My approach is unique:
I choose wilderness & remoteness over guidebook tourist destinations; intentional, mindful travel over superficial sightseeing; interaction & collaboration over passive following-along; discovery & learning opportunities over photo opportunities; rustic, physical experiences over easy, mass-market ones.​
​
My goal is simple & sincere:
I aim to offer a travel experience that’s not just fun, but meaningful. Not just another tour, but a memory for life.

This is the West Coast Adventure experience.
What makes this special? Here are a few things:
( That's me! )
Expertly crafted, with love
Since 2014, I have led over 8,000 happy hikers across this coast, one small batch at a time. I know this land better than anyone else alive.
​
With my incomparable expertise, I will share with you a side of the Algarve few know exist. You won’t find these places on your own, on the web, or on any other tour, guaranteed.​​
To a land far, far away
This is not the Algarve you expected: This is Europe's frontier coastline, a place thought for milennia to be the actual End of the World... and a place that still today feels like it just might be.
Designed to challenge & inspire
This is not just a walk in the park: Hiking with me means venturing to places you might not go on your own.
I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way, helping you feel the reward that comes after a bit of hard work :)
Balanced with stillness & appreciation
We will work hard, but always at a relaxed pace, going slow and taking plenty of breaks to reflect, connect, learn, and soak it all up. ​
​
Out here, it's not about how many steps we count, but how much wonder we can feel.
Fully immersive & interactive
As we explore, we'll bring the landscape to life with stories that uncover the coast's rich history.
You'll leave not just with memories, but with a sense of appreciation you cannot get on your own. Oh, and I've got plenty of fun facts!
Did I mention the food?
There’s no better way to understand a place—and celebrate together—than with food.
Every journey ends with a homemade picnic dinner— a spread of Algarvian tapas & wine that highlights the region’s rich and diverse flavors. Sourced with care, prepared with love, and enjoyed at sunset, it’s the perfect finish.
