Coasteering in Portugal
Explore the stunning Portuguese coastline in an adventurous way, with an epic coasteering activity for private groups!
What is coasteering?
Push your boundaries on the most thrilling watersport in Portugal, with coasteering. Scramble your way across the rocky coastline, swim in the swells, explore sea caves and enjoy taking on some epic jumps into the big blue! With crystal-clear seas and breathtaking coastlines, Portugal is the perfect place for coasteering on your group adventure!

The ultimate coastal adventure in Portugal
Combine Portugal’s great weather, pleasant sea temperatures and rugged coastline and you have the perfect conditions for an awesome coasteering adventure. Head down to the Arrábida Natural Park in the Lisbon region for a unique coasteer packed with fun jumps, rib-boat rides, ziplines & abseils! If you’re in Madeira, then why not try coasteering in the warm sub-tropical waters with some added snorkelling fun. Or, for those heading to west Algarve, there is a perfect stretch of sunny coastline not far from Sagres & Lagos, with epic sea caves waiting to be explored! Coasteering is a beginner-friendly watersport and we always encourage ‘adventure by choice’, so if you don’t fancy the big 10 meter jumps, you can just swim or walk around until you get to a smaller jump that you feel more comfortable with.
Whether you want to include coasteering as part of your company offsite, stag weekend or getaway for youth groups, it’s an adventure that shouldn’t be missed when visiting Portugal! We’ll create a quality package tailored to your group, including accommodation, transfers and meals. Already have your accommodation sorted? No worries, we can also help with a fun daytrip!

We recently worked with Big Blue Adventures to organise our team building trip to Sesimbra in Portugal, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial planning stages to the final goodbye, their attention to detail and professionalism was exceptional, making it completely hassle-free for us.
Upon arrival at the airport, we were greeted by their friendly staff, and the transfer to our hotel was seamless. Everything was well-coordinated, ensuring that there were no delays, and our team felt taken care of from the very beginning. It set the tone for a stress-free weekend. The accommodation selected for our stay was perfect. The hotel was modern, clean, and the food was great.
The activities were a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, giving everyone a great time and bringing us closer as a team. I tried the Coasteering, but I wasn’t very confident in the water, so I mentioned it to the team. They ensured all the instructors knew who I was and made sure I always felt safe. It was an incredible experience.
One of the highlights was having the guys take professional photos and videos of us throughout the day. They captured all the memories, meaning we didn’t need to be on our phones all of the time.
Thanks to the fantastic team at Big Blue Adventures, the entire trip was completely stress-free. They handled all the logistics, allowing us to focus on what mattered — building stronger relationships within our team.
We highly recommend Big Blue Adventures for any corporate event or team-building trip. They truly exceeded all our expectations!
Why we love this...
“I love coasteering in Portugal because it feels like the ultimate adventure; it has it all. I love the feeling of butterflies in the stomach before you nail a big jump. Climbing along cliffs with the waves chopping below your feet and exploring the coast in stunning Portuguese blue seas with the sun on your skin just makes it such an awesome adventure.” – Daniel, Founder & Co-owner
