Fantastic Experience for My Whole Family - Our Day at the Beach was absolutely a highlight of our trip to Portugal and Spain. It is one of our top travel experiences ever and will be a cherished memory for my entire family - forever. Thirty years from now, my kids will tell their kids about their trip to Sesimbra and Ribeira do Cavalo Beach during their trip to Portugal. If you are a diver or wanting to try diving or simply want to spend a day playing on a magical beach in Sesimbra - then plan to spend an extra day in Portugal and reach out to Arlindo. Extend your trip by a day if necessary - you will not regret it. I reached out to Arlindo to arrange a day for myself and the 8 other members of the 2022 European Vacation family tour group. This group included my wife and 3 children, my son's friend, my mother in law and my sister and brother in law. Arranging an excursion that catered to that age range and interest range is a terrific challenge and the Portugal Dive team absolutely crushed the challenge. My middle daughter and I are divers and we dove nearby the beach while my son and his friend had 'try dive' excursions from the beach and my wife, youngest daughter and sister snorkeled from the beach. We normally dive in the Caribbean and on this dive my daughter photographed her first octopi. My mother in law was the official 'terrestrial photographer' and was constantly busy recording the continuous action. Our Dive Masters on both the boat and the beach for the try diving were great. My daughter and I loved Filipe our guide so much we did a wreck diving course with him the day after our beach excursion. (The wreck was spectacular - but the water was still rather cold). After my daughter and I finished diving, we headed back to everyone else at the beach, had lunch and then headed out for a sea kayaking excursion with my son and one of the best sea kayak guides I have ever met. Needless to say - there are some magical caves you can visit by kayak right around the beach. When we travel I try to insure that we have at least one day of 'non history death-march' fun outside of a city or tourist area. I find as I grow older that these experiences (this day at the beach in Portugal, the day on the catamaran in Santorini, my daughter's birthday party at a vineyard) are the high points of our trips and really bring us together as a family. Arlindo and his team made this happen for us and are inextricably bound to our memories of this extraordinary day. We thank the entire team who hosted us on the beach, our dive masters, our kayak master, our boat captains and Arlindo for bringing it all together. I highly recommend this experience if you are an outdoor, adventure loving family (or group) and want to spend some time on one of the most gorgeous beaches you will find in Europe with folks you will count as friends forever. When we go back to Portugal, we will do this again.

Amazing guide into diving - Very kind people, they helped us alot and gave us a very personal guide into diving. We where both sad that the time went by really fast. We would love to go there again.

Best dive tour agent in Portugal - Spending some time with friends we decided to go to the beach and wanted to dive. Reached Portugal Dive, they prepared a full day beach and dive program. It was great, everything turned out perfect and we had lots of fun. Even my friends that don’t dive, looked for the opportunity and experienced the pleasure of breathing underwater. I strongly recommend this company. Portugal Dive it’s my favourite diving one stop shop. Thank you to the Portugal Dive team.
