Hiking in Portugal
There’s no better way to immerse yourself in Portugal’s incredible nature scene than by taking your group on a guided hike around the rugged coastline, through green valleys and up epic mountains!
Why go hiking in Portugal?
Hiking offers huge benefits to physical & mental wellbeing, from reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease to lowering stress levels, boosting memory and improving creativity. Besides all the great health benefits, hiking is one of the best ways to explore Portugal’s unique landscapes and is the perfect addition to a multi-night getaway.
Switch off & reconnect with nature
Portugal really is a hiker’s paradise! From the famous Levada walks and challenging mountain peaks of Madeira Island, to the stunning Rota Vicentina coastal trail in west Algarve and the endless views of green vineyards in the Douro Valley. There are endless guided hikes we can offer to groups staying with us in Portugal. We will tailor the activity to fit your trip plans; from half-day to full-day explorations and from easy-going sunset strolls to more challenging hiking routes. Dust off your boots and take the opportunity to socialise with your friends and colleagues while enjoying an immersive adventure in nature!
Whether you want to include hiking in Portugal as part of your corporate retreat, hen do or weekend away with your sports-team, it’s a great experience for groups seeking wow-factor moments together! We’ll create a quality package tailored to your needs, including accommodation, transfers and meals. Already have your accommodation sorted? No worries, we can also help with an active 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!
