Coasteering is a recent activity, mainly in Portugal. It is an activity in which one crosses the coast line, swimming, climbing, jumping into the water and walking. This activity allows you to discover scenarios and nooks that otherwise are impossible to see. In this specific activity we also conjugate rapelling and other rope maneuvers such as zipline and banisters. At the end of the activity the group will arrive at one of the wild beaches of Sesimbra and from there will be boarding a speedboat returning to the Port of Abrigo de Sesimbra.

Portugal’s Arrábida Natural Park is known for its extraordinary limestone rock formations, bijou beaches, and other spectacular scenery—and a sea-kayaking tour offers the best way to get an up-close look. Make your own way to the Clube Naval de Sesimbra, grab your kayaking equipment, and set out with your guide. You’ll paddle past some of the region’s most photogenic vistas, will soak up the coastal ambiance, and will even have the chance to dive to see the underwater sights.
