I WILL DO IT AGAIN

I'd only climbed a couple of times before, and never outdoors. I wanted my first real experience to be an authentic one. Miguel absolutely lived up to my expectations, taking us through 3 different levels of climbing, very different from one another, to learn how to approach the rock in completely different ways and use our bodies accordingly. I now have a much clearer idea of what climbing really means, and I'm even more motivated to improve. I admire Miguel so much for who he is too; creative and resourceful, he gave me all sorts of insights and ideas on how to live authentically. Thank you, Miguel!

JUST DO IT!

This was one of the most exhilarating experiences my husband and I have ever had! We rock climbed next to the ocean!!! This was our first time ever rock climbing and the owner and guide was a rockstar! He helps you every step of the wait and is ever so patient. He also has a very calming demeanor. My husband and I both felt extremely safe with him the entire experience! Just DO IT! We promise you will not regret it!!! It will be an experience you talk about for a lifetime! 💞

Operator response

Hi Alyssa, thank you so much, this really made my day! Rock climbing right next to the ocean for a first time is such a special way to start, and I'm so glad you and your husband felt safe the whole way through. That calm approach is exactly what I try to bring to every session. Thanks so much for such kind words, hope to have you both back for another adventure soon!

Incredible fun and familiar

My partner and I had a very fun and adventurous time with Miguel! He's very kind, fun and knowledgable. We felt safe with him immediately. We climbed the rock alongside a beautiful sunset and I couldn't recommend this experience more! Suitable for experienced climbers or people who've never climbed before. Miguel will make sure you have a great time.

Operator response

Hi Kai, thank you so much for this, really glad you and your partner felt safe right away and had such a fun time on the climb. Watching that sunset while up on the rock always makes the session feel even more special. Thanks so much for the recommendation, hope to have you both back for another climb soon!

The Highlight of My Trip!

I was a little unsure going into this experience because I doubted my climbing abilities, but it ended up being the highlight of my trip! Miguel was a great guide, he pushed me outside of my comfort zone while still making me feel safe and supported. He was friendly, encouraging, and knew exactly when to challenge me and when to reassure me. I surprised myself with what I was able to do, and I’m so glad I decided to try it. Getting to watch the sunset over the ocean was the cherry on top of an already incredible experience. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Hi Brynn, thank you so much for this, it really means a lot. Glad the rock climbing pushed you just enough while still feeling safe and supported, that balance is exactly what I aim for. So happy you surprised yourself with what you could do, and that the sunset over the ocean made it all even better. Thanks so much for the recommendation, hope to have you back for another climb soon!

We had Miguel as our tour...

We had Miguel as our tour guide, and he was great! The experience felt super safe, we had first time climbers and everyone had an awesome time. The spot we rock climbed was beautiful and overlooked the ocean The highlight of my Portugal trip!

Operator response

Hi Amber, thank you so much for this, really glad the rock climbing felt safe for the first-timers in the group while everyone still had such a great time. That ocean-view spot never gets old for me either. So happy it ended up being the highlight of your trip to Portugal, hope to have you back for another climb soon!

climbing experience

Me and my boyfriend climb a lot and we wanted to try while travelling and it was the best. Miguel is incredibly kind and fun, the best guide. We were with a first time climber and he quickly made her feel comfortable. I highly recommend this activity

Operator response

Hi Mathilde, thank you so much for this, it means a lot coming from climbers who really know what a good session should feel like. I loved having you and your boyfriend out there, and I'm so glad the other climber with you felt comfortable jumping in for her first time on the rock. Hope to see you both again next time you're back in the area, maybe on a different route!

Do It!

The last time I went climbing was about ten years ago, so I was a little unsure whether I could still do it. My guide encouraged me to just give it a try, and that was definitely the right decision. I had a lot of fun during the tour. The climbing was exciting, and the views during the ascent were really beautiful. Climbing on a real rock wall was a special experience for me and definitely one of the highlights of my trip. What I appreciated most was how patient and motivating my guide was. Whenever I wasn't sure where to place my hands or feet, he explained everything clearly and always had a helpful tip ready. It was obvious that he knew the rock wall and the route extremely well. As a German tourist, this was a great experience for me. Thank you for the wonderful tour, I would happily recommend it to others! 😊🧗‍♀️🇩🇪

Operator response

Thank you so much for this amazing review, Vanessa! 🧗‍♀️🇩🇪 I am super happy that you decided to give it a try after ten years without climbing. Stepping onto a real rock face can be intimidating, but you did an awesome job pushing through! Knowing that my patience, motivation, and tips helped you feel secure and confident means the world to me. That beautiful coastal view during the ascent always makes the effort totally worth it. It was an absolute pleasure guiding you on this Lisbon rock climbing experience. Whenever you return to Portugal, you already know that Volta Adventures is ready for more climbing in Cascais. Safe travels back to Germany! 😊👋

Highlight of our trip!

Amazing experience- Miguel was an excellent guide! The climbing site offered incredible views of the city and sea, especially as the sun set. Miguel knows the region well and chose a location few climbers know about, so we had the wall all to ourselves, making for a serene outdoor experience. As relatively novice climbers, Miguel’s expertise was appreciated. He provided guidance when needed, focused on safety, and we had confidence in his abilities. He was communicative ahead of time and up and drop off were a breeze. We ended the night with dinner at a local restaurant he recommended and were not disappointed! The experience was absolutely a highlight of our trip!

Operator response

Happy to provide the highlight of your trip so far, Lauren! It was a pleasure to take you two to this local spot and share the experience with you, especially since the weather cleared just in time for us to enjoy the late afternoon. Thank you for trusting us, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future - next time, we're going rock climbing and cliff jumping!

Sublime experience with a great guide!

The best moment of our trip to Portugal, it allows us to see a magnificent landscape while discovering rock climbing with routes for all levels. The organization was perfect, Miguel, who was our guide, is very pedagogical and super nice; it was a beautiful encounter, thank you for the experience!

Operator response

Thank you so much for the amazing review, Estienne! 🧗‍♂️🌊 I am super happy to hear that climbing with us was the best moment of your trip to Portugal. That coastal landscape is indeed beautiful and I’m glad you enjoyed the routes adapted to your level. Organization and making the experience accessible to everyone are priorities for me, so knowing that you had a perfect time and felt supported means the world! It was a real pleasure meeting you too. Whenever you come back to the Lisbon or Cascais area, don't hesitate to reach out to Volta Adventures for another great rock climbing experience in nature. Thank you again and see you next time! 👋
