Why go mountain biking in Portugal?
Discover Portugal’s most incredible natural areas on a guided mountain biking adventure. We’ll tailor the experience to your wants and needs and create the perfect route for your group to explore. It’s a great activity for all types of groups wanting to spend a day in the fresh air together, get a fitness boost and a hit of adrenaline all at the same time.

Enjoy a ride through the great outdoors
Madeira Island offers some great nature trails for mountain biking, from easy-going Levada tracks to proper off-roading in the mountains, the island has something for all experience levels! Or head to the mainland of Portugal and explore the scenic Rota Vicentina coastal route in west Algarve, the green hills of Sintra, rugged mountains of North Portugal or the pretty countryside of Ericeira. The coastline around Cascais & Guincho is a great option for groups wanting to go for a scenic cycle together rather than proper mountain biking. You’ll be able to choose between regular bikes and e-biking at most of our Portuguese destinations, which makes it a suitable outdoor adventure for all groups!

We’ll create a quality package tailored to your needs, including accommodation, transfers and meals. Already have your accommodation sorted?

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!
