Lisbon sits where the Tagus River meets the Atlantic Ocean, offering a unique opportunity to see marine wildlife close to the city. Sail along the Portuguese Riviera with a marine biologist in a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) so you can get up close in your search for dolphins, jellyfish, sharks, and more. Learn about the local marine wildlife from your expert guide.

With its dramatic cliffs and panoramic viewpoints, Cabo da Roca is a favorite among travelers—but few people get to see the hidden, lesser-used dirt trails that surround the area.

Swap the bustle of Lisbon for the serenity of a lagoon on a stand-up paddle boarding tour that helps you find relaxation in nature. Opting for a private tour means that you’ll be able to paddle at a pace suited to you—even if it’s your first time enjoying the sport—and admire the natural scenery.
