Incredible experience to repeat

My 11-year-old son was invited to a birthday party: boarding in Sesimbra. It was a great adventure. The kids had a lot of fun, it was an amazing experience. We thank Vertente Natural, who took all the safety measures and made an amazing walk with the children. We will definitely return in Family. We wish you great success because you definitely deserve it!

From our driver to our...

From our driver to our guide, Leiticia, our interactions with the people behind Vertente Natural were above and beyond. The kayak trip itself was an unforgettable experience. Leiticia was informative and educational about history of the area and sights. She first told us the route we would take when we were on dry land, but assured us she would be flexible, depending on our wants, since it was just the 3 of us. The beach we stopped at was beautiful! The sea caves were breathtaking. This excursion is a must do for any kayak enthusiast!
