Overview

Discover Arrábida like never before! Our boat tours, now lasting 2.5 hours, offer the perfect opportunity to explore wild bays and beaches and immerse yourself in local history. And the best part: you'll have time for refreshing dips in the crystal-clear waters, if you wish!

Sail through the marine reserve between Cabo Espichel and Sesimbra, a sanctuary of natural beauty and cultural richness. In the Marine Park Professor Luiz Saldanha, we'll discover coves and old fishermen's shelters, breathtaking natural landscapes, caves, magnificent cliffs and the region's fascinating stories and legends.
To make your trip even sweeter, indulge in a regional dessert served on board, an authentic touch of our local cuisine.

Don't forget your swimsuit if you want to dive into the crystal-clear waters of Arrábida!

NOTE – if you book the activity with transfer, you will have around 1h30 free before the activity and 1h30 free after the activity – we suggest a walk around the fishing port.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Boat Tour – Arrábida Coves?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
