A must from Porto! - I had the best time! The tour covered several spots including kayaking and hiking, all very well organised. It was very well paced - it never felt like we spent too much time in any one place and at the same time it was not rushed, and we could take time to take everything in. Mariana was amazing, always very helpful and kind.

Great blend of active + relaxing! - My husband and I had a fabulous day with Ines! She is so kind, fun and helpful. She is a bright personality and we enjoyed the day with her! Kayaking, swimming and hiking to the waterfall were great! Definitely wear your good traction shoes and bring a change of clothes or dry tee shirt. The day ended with a relaxing drink overlooking the water. We loved the experience!

Fun, Flavor, and Freeze in Parque Nacional Peneda-Gerês - Such a beautiful, invigorating adventure! We kayaked, savored an incredible lunch, took breaks for coffee and jaw-dropping views, drove up and down winding mountain roads, and plunged into an ice-cold swimming hole beneath a waterfall with our vibrant and knowledgeable guide Inês. Highly recommend this day trip for those who love being active in nature and escaping the crowds in Portugal’s beautiful cities.

Superb Trip to Pineda-Gerês - Our guide, Nuno, made the whole experience really memorable! He was full of enthusiasm and energy and was great company throughout the trip. We enjoyed all the activities but for me the waterfall in particular was spectacular! We had the whole area to ourselves. We were able to climb behind the waterfall and jump into the pool! The water is so clean and clear there. The kayaking was also great, again, we had the whole lake practically to ourselves! I had great fun trying the SUP too. I would highly recommend this adventure! If we come back to Porto or the surrounding areas (which we very likely will) we will come back again to Peneda-Gerês and do the hiking tour to take in the breathtaking views in the park. If you’re very lucky, Nuno will be your guide and you’ll have an even better time!!!

Great day out, great host Pedro! - Pedro was a great host for the day! We felt safe in his hands on the twisty mountain roads, and he gave us little bits of history knowledge along the way. The kayaking was very fun and the views were great. The waterfall hike was amazing, and the hike wasn’t too difficult. Pedro was very attentive and helpful all day. The lunch was tasty too!

Unique experience in Portugal - The entire experience was just as advertised- we got picked up at a group meeting spot in a cool land rover and drove 1.5 hours to the national park with a cafe stop in the middle. Although long, it was a cool ride. It’s a small group so you really get to know each other and even form new friendships. Our tour guide gave some information about the park and emphasized safety which I appreciated. The hike was more like a 10 minute walk to the waterfall, it wasn’t long or arduous. Also the four course meal was amazing: traditional food with green wine finished with an ice cream dessert. But it was followed by a Very bumpy ride to the hike so don’t eat too much! Overall it was a good experience and you really get out of it what you put in.
