West Coast Wilderness

Discover Portugal’s wild western frontier on our West Coast Wilderness Tour, a private full-day exploration of the Costa Vicentina Natural Park and Sagres. This journey is a blend of raw nature, dramatic landscapes, and coastal heritage. Your day begins with a scenic drive along the untamed Atlantic coast, where towering sea cliffs meet endless ocean. In the morning light, you’ll can enjoy a hike along the clifftops – an invigorating stroll to secret viewpoints where the views stretch for miles. Breathe in the salty air at Praia da Arrifana, a surfer’s paradise backed by cliffs, and watch for storks nesting precariously on sea stacks. Continue to the picturesque village of Aljezur, where whitewashed cottages cluster below a 10th-century hilltop castle.

As we venture further south-west, we’ll pause for a gourmet picnic lunch amid nature (or, if you prefer, a reservation at an oceanfront restaurant can be arranged). Savour fresh-caught seafood and Alentejo wine with the sound of waves in the background – true VIP dining in the wild.

In the afternoon, your chauffeur will take you to Sagres, known as the “End of the World” for its awe-inspiring location. Stand atop the windswept cliffs at Cabo de São Vicente (Cape St. Vincent), the southwestern tip of Europe, where an iconic red lighthouse guards the meeting of Atlantic and Mediterranean waters. The views here – endless blue sea and sky – are humbling and unforgettable. Next, explore the Sagres Fortress, a 16th-century fortification steeped in tales of explorers like Prince Henry the Navigator. Your guide will share insights into Sagres’ role in the Age of Discoveries, as you gaze over the same horizon that inspired explorers 500 years ago. Finally, relax in your plush vehicle for the ride back, arriving at your hotel early evening with a heart full of adventure and a camera full of incredible panoramas.
