This private hiking activity follows the official Fishermen’s Trail route from Odeceixe to Aljezur, giving travellers the chance to complete a real stage of one of Portugal’s most famous coastal walking trails. The route is approximately 22–23 km and follows natural coastal and countryside terrain, including sandy paths, uneven ground, open sections and some ascents and descents.

Forever Algarve takes care of the logistics, including pickup, transfer to the start of the route, picnic lunch, water, snacks and collection at the finish.
