Top Setubal District Day Cruises

Get on board with us and discover the wonders of the Sesimbra Natural Park, with its magnificent secret beaches and stunning caves — all guided by a local fisherman. We'll begin at "Cais Espadarte", heading towards Sesimbra’s most famous wild beach... "Ribeiro do Cavalo". Our next stop will be the deserted beaches of Mijona and Inferno. We’ll then head to an ancient whaling site, where you can still see the old structures used for that activity. Nearby, we’ll visit "Praia da Baleeira", a beautiful and peaceful beach named after the ancient boats used to hunt whales. Here, you’ll snorkel once more and enjoy a taste of a local liqueur while soaking in the calm beauty of the bay. Finally, we’ll head towards "Cabo Espichel" to explore more caves and unique rock formations. Throughout the tour, we’ll share stories and local curiosities about the coast and the Natural Park, that only a local fisherman can share with you — all while you enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

Your journey begins with a private pick-up at your hotel, heading south towards the most breathtaking landscapes of the Algarve. This tour is designed for those who appreciate the perfect harmony between dramatic nature and refined exploration. We drive directly to the region's most iconic coastal landmarks, where the golden limestone cliffs meet the crystalline turquoise of the Atlantic, offering endless opportunities for world-class photography. The centerpiece of our day is an exclusive boat expedition (included) to explore the legendary Benagil Sea Caves. Often described as a "Natural Cathedral," this geological wonder is a sight to behold from the water. After our sea adventure, we invite you to immerse yourself in the local culture with a leisurely lunch (not included) at a handpicked typical restaurant, where the fresh flavors of the Algarve take center stage.
