We were fortunate to organise a trip to the caves with Vertente Natural. The guide was quite simply a fountain of knowledge for geology and the history of the caves. The outing was very relaxed and we could take our time to explore and learn more. I would recommend this team to anyone looking for a unique experience to do something exciting, whilst learning about the environment and the people. Will we return? Absolutely.…

It was a great experience, our tour guide tried her best to keep us satisfied. The only thing we didn’t like was a rough water and it made it very hard to paddle. My 12 yr old son got tired and seasick and I had to work harder to get us moving, even I started to feel seasick. We were expecting a chill canoeing, taking it slow and enjoying the view and the weather but it was actually like a full on training day and not much time to enjoy and chill, just had to kept paddling like crazy. I was exhausted at the end. But great experience regardless and the view was amazing. I wish we got sent the pictures that our tour guide took of us because we never got a chance to pause and take pictures ourselves (except one time when we had a little break on the ground). Would go back when the water is calmer and easier to paddle but maybe that’s how it is on the ocean all the time, I don’t know?! …

Hello Jane, We appreciate your feedback on the experience with us. We try to make the activities pleasant, but we have no control over the weather conditions. We are sorry that the experience was not wonderful and, it is not at all usual for the sea to be very rough in these places, considering that they face south. We hope that in the near future, you will come back to Sesimbra to visit us again to do new activity with us and take this way excellent memories.

Amazing experience! I had never done coasteering before, and I loved it, I really got out of my comfort zone. It was always safe, the whole process of booking the tour went smoothly and the staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Will definitely try other of their activities and perhaps repeat this one.…

Jumps actually are the most fun part. Plenty swimming. Kris was our guide. After the first hour, with some tips from Kris, we learned to "work with the sea", using the energy of the waves to 'launch-up' on rock etc. We explored caves that would be inaccessible probably even with a boat. On that note, we later got a chance to meet the guide, who also just so happens to be one of the top personnel in Portugal for Speleology. how cool! That's for next time. The rock climbing was beginner level and easy. My first in swimming with climbing gear though.The whole experience was so awesome. go Coasteering!…
