“Amazing experience and views of the grottos. The guides are really informative and gave us some amazing facts about the area and the beaches around Lagos. There were one or two grottos we could not go into due to low-tide, but we still saw so many stunning views- our driver was really skilled and navigated some really tights Spaces with ease and experience. We would definitely do it again, and highly recommend Lagos Grotto Trips!”

Explore Sagres, Cape St Vincent and a secret Algarve beach by 4x4, then enjoy wine, pastel de nata and sunset above the Atlantic.

“Book this now! You won't regret the overall experience, particularly the national park and 4x4 section. TIAGO, our guide, was amazing! This tour was so much more than is even written here. A great way to see Sagres and St Vincent for quick trips and then head into the National Park. The 'secret spot' was breathtaking; the off-roading to get there, along with the secluded spot was the highlight for my 16 year son. The whole tour is so different, yet amazing. Sunset spot was quite and magical.”
