The
'Classic'
Adventure
My signature, full-package West Coast experience
This isn’t just a hike—it’s a hands-on, handcrafted journey into the Algarve’s wildest, most breathtaking corners. Not a checklist tour. Not another photo-op. But an adventure that connects you to the land, the history, and yourself.
We’ll move, explore, and experience this place with all our senses before finishing the day at the “End of the World” with a sunset picnic dinner and wine.
This is an adventure that goes beyond the guidebooks—one that few travelers (or even locals) ever get to experience.
Let's go West!
Highlights
This is not a sightseeing tour, it's an experience.
Here's are some of the top things we'll do:
>> TRAVEL WEST – Ride in my classic VW van to the Algarve's Vicentine Coast Natural Park, Europe's most Southerwestern edge.
>> ESCAPE THE CROWDS – Forget the tourist spots. We’ll explore hidden corners and secret landscapes that even locals don’t know exist.
>> HIKE & EXPLORE – Hike Portugal’s tallest sea cliffs, dramatic beaches, and panoramic viewpoints—all at a relaxed, immersive pace.
>> DISCOVER THE LAND'S STORIES – From ancient history to wild foraging, we’ll explore the Algarve’s rich past and present through storytelling, legend, lessons, and all our senses.
>> FEEL THE ENERGY – Stand at the edge of the continent where the Atlantic roars, cliffs soar, and the wind howls. This is not the cute, friendly Algarve you expected... this is her wild side.
>> SLOW DOWN & SOAK IT IN – This isn’t a race. We’ll take time to pause, breathe, listen, and truly appreciate the beauty around us.
>> SWIM IN THE SEA – A chance to refresh & recharge in the wild Atlantic, always optional but always a good idea.
>> SUNSET AT THE EDGE OF EUROPE – Watch the sun dip below the horizon from our own private clifftop viewpoint, away from the crowds.
>> A WELL EARNED FEAST – End the day with a homemade Algarvian picnic spread of regional tapas & local wine, crafted with care and served under the open sky.
>> SQUEEZE EVERY LAST DROP – We’ll make the most of every moment before heading back refreshed, rewarded, and ready for a good night’s sleep.

Itinerary
A Journey in Four Simple Steps
I don’t follow a strict checklist itinerary—every trip is unique, shaped by the season, the group, and the day itself. But every adventure follows the same essential rhythm:
1: Get Ready
We begin with a friendly introduction under a shady tree in Lagos, setting the stage for the day ahead. Through maps, stories, and a little imagination, we get a sense of our team and where we’re going—physically and mentally.
Then, we hop into my classic VW van, turn the music up and windows down, and head West for about 35 minutes of countryside driving, leaving the busy Algarve for the remote & magical Costa Vicentina Nature Reserve on the Algarve's West coast.

2: The Adventure
This is where we move, explore, and experience the land with all our senses. We’ll hike through hidden trails, along towering sea cliffs, and down to dramatic, secluded beaches, pausing along the way to listen, feel, and take it all in.
Expect about 8-12km of hiking, with a few solid hills—but this isn’t a race. We go slow and steady, with plenty of time to rest, reflect, and recharge. And if the conditions allow? We take a dip in the Atlantic—always optional, always worth it.
<< 5 hr >>
3: The Sunset Feast
Served tapas-style on the cliffs at the edge of Europe, our picnic is a celebration of Algarvian flavors—everything is homemade, hand-selected, and locally sourced. This isn’t something you’ll find in a restaurant; it’s fresh, fun, creative, nourishing, and full of surprises.
Paired with local wine and an epic sunset? The perfect reward for our big efforts.

4: The Return
As the last light fades, we'll squeeze every last drop out of the day before heading back under the rising stars. Expect to return tired, happy, full, and deeply satisfied—and ready for a good night's sleep, guaranteed :)
