An amazing day , can’t recommend highly enough, our guide Fred was amazing so kind , helpful and knowledgeable! Many thanks Fred !
Great experience for a Sunday afternoon. Very beautiful landscapes and especially rivers where we were able to swim. And also a tasting of organic products. Nothing but happiness. Thanks to our very friendly and funny guide. We highly recommend this beautiful adventure. Thanks again.
We enjoyed the trip the guide was fun. We felt the trip was missing some parts. Didn’t visit the orange grove or the cork experience. Could have been cut short due to an injury to a young passenger.
Great fun way to explore and our 10 year old loved it. Great friendly guide Tiago who told and showed us lots of interesting things like the trees whose bark is used for wine corks. Great panoramic view from the wind turbines and we did have a go on the swing 😀
Great experience - tour guide was fab, my boys -aged 12,15,17 loved it - swam in crystal waters - and having an open top jeep was amazing! Loved it and will defo book again with TripAdvisor - the 30% discount code was a massive bonus!
We went on this safari trip during our holiday in Portugal and had a fantastic time. It was a great day out and we all really enjoyed it. A special mention has to go to our driver, Rui. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and history, and shared lots of interesting information throughout the trip. He was also friendly, funny and made sure everyone felt welcome and had a good time. The scenery was beautiful, and the whole experience was well organised from start to finish. We’d definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for something a little different while in the Algarve. Thanks again to Rui for making it such an enjoyable and memorable day!
It is nice to see the rural side of Albufeira. You get to enjoy nature and the swim in the river is amazing.
John our guide absolutely made our day, even though it was scorching hot out. He picked us up at our hotel, was very cheerful and informative the whole trip and was a great driver too. The tour was really good and gave us a taste of real Portuguese culture with honey, jam, liqueur tasting and an unforgettable swim at a waterfall. A really worthwhile trip. The only thing I'd change was to have done this tour at the beginning of our holiday as it was that good! Thanks John!

Had the best time with Jon our host who drove us up and out of the tourist area and into the mountains behind Albufiera. Visited a couple of sites that tourists would rarely see. Jon was funny and entertaining throughout our ride in his classic Nissan Patrol.
