Highly recommend this tour! Without the organized planning and insider insight, we would not have been able to do as much on the island and experience it to the fullest. Our friendly (and super popular) tour guide Joao was warm and knowledgeable. Our day was filled with a hike, exploring the fortress, snorkeling, cliff jumping, kayaking through caves, sitting by the beach, having Caipirinhas while looking out at the ocean. A day we won’t soon forget!

Thank you Mina for your amazing Review. We had a blast as you know well. Was amazing to guide you and host you at the Paradise Berlengas Island
I can't recommend this ENOUGH! Best trip of our three weeks in Europe! Most people haven't even heard of this island and then to go and have so much fun! Our guide, Joao of West Portugal Trips, made this trip over-the-top with memories and tons of above and beyond moments. His passion for his country and, in particular, this lovely island shows strongly.....he shared so much of his personal experience there, history, and local customs that it made me crave to return and spend the night in the fort there....even without hot water!.....and that says a lot. From the moment we encountered Joao he made us feel so welcome. It just so happened we had 4 other people in the group who melded so well together (well guided by Joao). He was constantly aware of EVERY person's needs and abilities, especially on the kayaking part of the tour. Not one time were we ever scared or felt in danger on his watch. As a travel agent, I saw so many professional characteristics in Joao and I will definitely suggest his services to everyone I know going to Lisbon. He does it all. He took the time to take pictures of us when we couldn't on the kayak, gave us restaurant and wine recommendations, and generally treated every one of us like family. He was A+ with communication and safety. The locals on Berlenga are a tight group but he has incorporated himself into their trust and respects them as they respect him. He is well loved by the locals, captain of ship, kayak/boat workers, etc. and I see why. He is a perfect representative of Portugal! This trip was well organized with every minute planned well AND we had time at the end to relax on beach and swim while Joao provided drinks and snacks for us. Suggestions: water is cold so bring a towel with your bathing suit, maybe bring a waterproof cover for phone to take pics while kayaking, bring euros because credit cards aren't accepted at fort cafe, jacket for boat (but Joao gave us all WARM rain coats), TIP money for this wonderful guide!

Wow, Laura, there is a magnificent review, thank you very much, i just love to share my passions and the places i like with you and even more with an incredible group as you were. Thank you again, and we will meet again in the future.
A ilha de berlengas é maravilhosa. Paisagem paradisíaca. O guia João foi extremamente atencioso com todos, principalmente com as crianças que nos acompanharam no passeio.
O único ponto ruim é que para chegar a ilha são 45 min de barco e, no dia da minha viagem, o mar estava agitado e passei muito mal no translado de ida até a ilha.
Sei que isso pode acontecer, não tirou o brilho do passeio, mas é importante estar preparado para esses inconvenientes.

Obrigado pelo seu review Naira. O mar estava bastante agitado no caminho para a ilha nesse dia. Mas o resto do dia e o passeio de Kayak foi fantastico.
Aproveitem o resto das ferias
