Horseback Riding Along the Coast

Surveying the widespread splendor and breathtaking beauty of Portugal’s Atlantic coastline regions by any means of transportation is a captivating experience in itself.

And the most relaxing, rewarding, and traditional way of enhancing your sightseeing tours is from the back of a majestic Portuguese ‘Lusitano’ – the nation’s most mild mannered and versatile horse.

Your companion Lusitano is willing and capable of gently guiding you to and through Portugal’s vineyards, pine forests, olive groves, and miles of sensational beaches and Atlantic coastline features, many of which are inaccessible to motorized vehicles, and always in a most delightfully serene and charming way.

Catamaran Cruising with Dolphins

Additional intriguing water-borne experiences can be enjoyed when making your acquaintance with man’s most amiable marine mammal, the dolphin.

Families of these affectionate natives have made their home at the Sado Estuary Natural Reservation between the municipalities of Alcácer do Sal, Comporta and Setúbal, and welcome you to visit by embarking on a private catamaran cruise through the safe passages of their government protected nature reserve.

As you’re warmly greeted by the Sado bottlenose dolphins you can toast your presence by tasting the delicate sweetness of Moscatel wines and sampling the delights of traditional pastries from the nearby town of Azeitão.
