Why We Love This…
“Trying new outdoor adventures in a country like Portugal is always fun, but it’s a lot nicer to share the experience with a group of like-minded colleagues. Seeing a team come together whilst pushing their boundaries, is why we love doing what we do. My personal favourite team building activities in Portugal are coasteering with zipline, surfing and hiking.”
