Francisco our guide was amazing. He was very helpful with the jumps. I would definitely recommend doing this. This is a very physical activity so make sure you are up for the challenge.

Great physically demanding and adrenaline pumping activity

Andrew_D, Aug 2025

Great physically demanding experience. The staff was great and funny. The one thing I do not like is that they charge you for shoes and shorts. They should just include that in the price and not try to charge extra. They should also offer a picture package because you cannot bring your phones

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for joining us for coasteering in Arrábida. We're thrilled to hear you had a great, physically demanding, and adrenaline-pumping experience, and that you enjoyed our staff's humor! We appreciate your feedback regarding the equipment rental. Our goal is to keep the base price as accessible as possible, which is why we offer the shoes and shorts as an optional rental for those who need them. We understand your point, however, and will definitely take it into consideration. You've also raised a great point about a picture package! We are always looking for ways to improve our service, and this is a wonderful suggestion. We hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Fun but physically taxing!

Kayla_F, Jun 2025

This was super fun but fairly physically challenging! It is a lot of climbing up/around cliffs, sometimes with rope, often without. The guides are super helpful, and I never felt like I was going to fall, but it you do need good shoes and to trust your grip! The guides were wonderful, the views were gorgeous, but this is not for the faint of heart

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We love that you found our Coasteering in Arrábida Natural Park tour super fun, even with the physical challenge! You've perfectly captured the adventurous spirit of the experience, with the climbing and reliance on grip. We're especially proud to hear our guides were wonderful and helped you feel secure. The views are indeed gorgeous, and we truly appreciate you recommending it for those seeking an exciting challenge!

Amazing experience, moderate/high adventure.

John_C, Jun 2025

Francisco our guide was amazing. He was very helpful with the jumps. I would definitely recommend doing this. This is a very physical activity so make sure you are up for the challenge.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for the awesome review! We're so pleased you had an amazing time coasteering and that Francisco was so helpful with the jumps. We agree, it's a very physical activity, but definitely worth the challenge! We truly appreciate your recommendation.

Coasteering in the Arrabida Natural Park (Lisbon region)

Matthew_J, Dec 2024

I did the Coasteering in the Arrabida Natural Park (Lisbon region) as found on Viator, and the whole trip was phenomenal! I would recommend this trip to anybody with good stamina and to see if Henrique is available. Coasteering - Henrique was amazing! He gave clear directions and made sure you understood what was being said while ensuring your safety the whole trip. His attention to safety and how the guests were feeling was spot on. Also, I wanted to take videos of my experience so I brought my GoPro and had no issues using it while climbing, swimming, jumping, and zip lining. Company Facility - The facility has a place to store your valuables as well as a place to shower after your trip. Also, beside the company’s facility is a small cafe where you can buy coffee and such but they accept cash only. Transportation - Seamless trip between Hard Rock to Sesimbra and back. ** While on this trip try farinha torrada which is one of their local sweets. **

Response from Host, Dec 2024

We're also happy to hear that you were able to capture your adventure on your GoPro. Our facilities are designed to provide convenience and comfort for our guests. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!

We had a fantastic time. This isn't for the faint of heart so I wouldn't go unless you enjoy a bit of adrenaline and are reasonably in shape.

Fantastic

Michael_W, Sep 2023

Absolutely fantastic experience I would recommend to anyone especially a group to do. The instructors are so much fun and knowledgeable and will make the adventure easy. The jumps are very easy and the scenery is absolutely stunning only downside was I forgot my GoPro to capture this amazing day

Amazing, must do

Julie_C, Aug 2023

Coming from Australia, i did not know what “coasteering” was until this experience. An amazing experience with perfect guides Henrique and Ines 🙏🏻 made the experience fun, enjoyable and safe.

Great adventure

Mallory_R, Jul 2023

Loved this whole experience! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for an adventure or something different in the area. The only challenging piece was figuring out the pick up and the time was a little different when it finished than in the description.

Crazy fun

Wendy_M, Sep 2022

Interacting with the beautiful coastline by climbing the rocks, jumping into the water and zip lining was amazing. It was a unique and memorable expense. Our guides were fantastic. Everything was organized and we felt very safe.

Sí pero no

IRENE_G, Jul 2022

Una experiencia divertida y una forma diferente y bonita de ver la costa portuguesa, pero, se encuentra dentro de un paraje natural y durante época de anidación sería importante respetar el lugar y a sus animales. Por otro lado, creo que perdimos muchísimo tipo para vestirnos y equiparnos, se podría gestionar de otra forma.
