- O565HYamyh0 contributionsAn incredible and inclusive coasting trip!We had the best experience yesterday on our private group coasting tour. There were ten of us ranging from 11 to 60+, with a range of coasteering experience and level of nervousness… Our two guides were incredible and gave so many different options for higher/lower jumps and even abseiling down one point instead of jumping. My son has a medical condition and they happily carried his medication in the support boat, which stayed with us the whole time, and when he needed to get out half an hour early the support boat picked us up and moved so we could watch the others finish the tour. The boat drives was also wonderful and talked to us about some other things to do in the area. We would 100% do another one of their activities in the future and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone!Written August 14, 2024

Dolphins were hiding in the beginning (1 hour searching), but than, they were showing up, coming around the boat and the top of all: we've seen even a whale and a sword fish jumping out of the water !

An amazing experience, if the Portuguese coffee doesn't wake up up the first jump into the water certainly will!
I'm a little afraid of heights but the guides make you feel super safe and willing to take the plunge into the sea. Both the guides were very professional in helping you make your way up the rocks and making you feel safe.
There was a small break where we had water and some traditional fisherman's cakes that were lovely.
We paid to get picked up from Lisbon and the guide was very informative on the drive over telling us about some of the history of Portugal and some other interesting facts.
Overall the experience was great, I've never done anything like it and if you feel scared you should conqueror your fears and give it ago!

Our team loved this activity!! We recommend it to anyone wanting to explore the coast of Portugal in a fun and unconventional way! The whole COMPANY team was very supportive and entertaining, they really seem to know what they're doing which made us feel a lot more comfortable and safer. Our guide would always give us different options of jumps and paths to follow depending on the difficulty level and this was really useful since some of our team members are afraid of heights. We did this in October and were a bit afraid of the cold, but the wetsuits kept us warm the whole
Overall it was an amazing experience and we super recommend it! You'll climb rocks, swim against the current, and jump from rocks - it couldn't be more fun!

This is simply something you must do if you love adrenaline and are in need of an adventure! Coasteering is very physical but definitely doable. I personally have asthma and I managed just fine. It is definitely most fun if you love adrenaline, climbing, jumping and swimming. We had an amazing morning/afternoon with amazing guides and we immediately also booked the dolphin-watching tour! The transfer from and to Lissabon was great as well. It is kind of difficult to reach Sesimbra if you don't have a car available so I definitely recommend booking the transfer as well!

Amazing experience! I had never done coasteering before, and I loved it, I really got out of my comfort zone. It was always safe, the whole process of booking the tour went smoothly and the staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Will definitely try other of their activities and perhaps repeat this one.

My sister and I had a wonderful coasteering experience, and it was definitely one of the most unique activities I have done. The guide makes you feel safe and has a lot of patience (which is good considering it took us a while to convince our bodies it was okay to jump off a cliff into the ocean!). Besides jumping, we got to climb up cliffs and swim into little caves, and also learn about some of the marine life. There was a boat nearby us at all times to take us to farther away cliffs when needed. Overall, a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to do it again some day!

Coasteering, in my opinion, is the most fun outdoor adventure activity there is, and we had a fantastic time going with Vertente Natural in Sesimbra. I am a middle-aged mother, not particularly athletic, so if I can do it, most anyone can! My 15 year old son also had an amazing time. Vertente Natural staff were very friendly, flexible, and professional. We always felt like we were in great hands, they were very safety conscious, and encouraged the group without ever pressuring anyone to do anything they didn't want to. I personally love the high cliff jumps, but find some of the climbing challenging, whereas others likely felt the opposite, and it's always up to the person what they want to do. This route had added fun like a zipline, abseiling, and being lowered by rope down into a sea cave. We also were given a snack break with water bottles and a traditional bread that Portuguese fishermen used to take to sea. Extremely fun and exhilirating to experience the Portuguese coast in this way, all while soaking in the beautiful views of the Atlantic. In the afternoon, we did a jeep tour of the area, exploring an old castle and churches, viewing awe-inspiring beaches and visiting an old rock quarry where dinosaur footprints were discovered and preserved. Take a look at their website and see if any activities appeal to you, I think actually getting out in nature is the best way to experience a place, and that proved true again for us with Vertente Natural.

Do it!! I'm 42 and took my 14 year old son. I don't get scared easily but once you're up there you kinda second guess yourself until you try and then you're doing it!!! It's so much fun and unique. Our group ended up being pretty big and everyone cheered and helped each other along. I'm so happy I did this. The jumps varied from 1 meter to 8 meters and there were plenty! the Zipline was fun and the climbing def made me step out of my comfort zone. Now I feel like a badass. Our tour guides Nuno (I think this is wrong- sorry), Gonzalo and Jose make you feel like "you got this" the whole way through. Can't wait to try this again, it's my new fav travel activity.

Arrabida is such a beautiful spot, it's picture perfect, and coasteering is fantastic fun. The monitors were really nice and Leonor was so kind to us, we would really recommend this company. We have fantastic memories of our trip to Sesimbra and hopefully we'll be back there again someday.

The experience in coastering was undoubtedly spectacular! Me and my girlfriend loved the experience. From beginning to end with obstacles and difficulties that only made us feel what it really is to overcome fear! We had a Guide, Henrique super attentive and fun. We will undoubtedly repeat this great adventure, and also come back to do the rest of the activities with great emotion! Ps: Thank you for the delicious tavam flour candy!!
