I went for a walk with Natalia to the top of the Arrábida mountain and it was spectacular. It was challenging and I recommend for people with physical preparation, the shoes should also be appropriate. We passed by farms, mountainous trails with rocks that we had to climb to be able to follow and see incredible views, on top there is a 360° view from Sines to the Sintra mountain. Natalia was very subtle and allowed to take the moment to meditate and connect with nature. On the way we found many plants and vegetation and beeches that she knew. A wonderful experience, to repeat and recommend. I loved
Muito obrigada pelo seu comentário! Foi um privilégio partilhar esta experiência com o seu grupo na Serra da Arrábida. Os trilhos desafiantes e as vistas incríveis fazem desta serra um dos lugares mais especiais de Portugal. Fico muito feliz por saber que aproveitou a experiência. Será um prazer recebê-vos novamente para descobrir mais trilhos e segredos da Arrábida! Até breve! Natália
I loved it!!! Challenging, as it is 4 hours of walking with different degrees of difficulty. Proper shoes are important! The view from the top of the mountain is impressive. Arrábida Lisbon, Setúbal, Troy... I highly recommend!

I booked this Private Hiking Adventure at Arabida Mountain with Natalia Portugalia Tours and it turned out to be one of the best hikes I’ve ever done. I’m a pretty experienced hiker and love challenges, and this trail gave me exactly what I was looking for. It’s not very long, but quite steep and demanding in some parts, so I’d recommend it for people with at least moderate fitness. I was so glad I brought my hiking boots! The climb was totally worth it though — when you reach the top, you’re rewarded with absolutely stunning views over the ocean and miles of untouched nature. What surprised me most was the silence — no cars, no city noise, just wind, birds, and bees buzzing around wildflowers. It felt like stepping into another world. Natalia is an incredible guide — passionate, knowledgeable, and full of energy. She knows every plant on the trail and explained how locals use them for natural medicine. I learned so much and honestly felt inspired to look more into herbal healing after this hike. If you love nature, hiking, and real experiences off the tourist track, this tour is perfect. I’ll definitely come back next year to explore more of Arabida’s wild beaches that Natalia told me about. And as a bonus — Natalia took so many amazing photos of me along the way! She truly has an eye for capturing the moment, and now I have incredible memories to look back on. Thank you, Natalia, for sharing this magical place with me!
Thank you so much, dear Mary, for your beautiful words! I’m really happy you enjoyed the hike — Arrábida always rewards those who love a good challenge. It was a pleasure guiding you, sharing the trail (and the herbs!) and capturing those moments for you. I’d love to welcome you back next year to show you the wild beaches we talked about. Until then, keep exploring!
It was a great experience! A super relaxed walk analyzing the nature and the magical landscapes that were revealing each step. There was a moment on the beach, of relaxation and relaxation, which served to gather energy and forces for the return that left us thirsty and desire for new walks and discoveries. I highly recommend!
Muito obrigada pelas suas palavras tão inspiradoras! Fico muito feliz por saber que desfrutaram da caminhada, das paisagens e do merecido momento de relaxamento na praia. É exatamente essa a essência das nossas experiências: transformar cada passo num convite à descoberta e deixar sempre vontade de voltar. Será um enorme prazer recebê-los novamente para novas aventuras e partilhas. Até breve, com mais trilhos, paisagens e sabores para descobrir em Portugal!
This hike is just amazingly adventurous, super fun, with jaw-dropping views that I will remember forever! I did it on the first day of the year, which was such a great idea to start the year on such a high note in a healthy way. 🙃🙌 Natália is very knowledgeable about the local plants and wildlife too! She’s super upbeat and fun, which makes the experience even more enjoyable! From start to finish, Natália was there to help and guide me with all my needs and doubts. That region has a lot of history, and she’s also very knowledgeable about it! The last part of the hike is the most challenging in terms of difficulty, but still very doable! And when you get to the top… it’s so rewarding!! It’s just insanely beautiful, with proper jaw-dropping 360-degree views! It’s unforgettable! I had a very clear day and could even see Sines far, far away from where we were! The blues of the ocean and skies are just heavenly beautiful!! I just didn’t want to come down… It’s one of those moments you don’t want to end—everywhere you look, your heart completely melts! After an awesome snack, laughs, and a cool rest, we eventually made our way down from the highest point of Arrábida Mountain! Coming down was easy and quite fast as everything went super well. Overall, I highly recommend this hike—it’s a fantastic, unforgettable memory that I will cherish for life! Thank you so much, Natália P.T.! I’ll be back for more fun, adventurous unforgettable hikes🙌🤩🙂
franciscosH5994MJ, what a way to kick off 2025! 🎉🏔️ We officially opened the season in the best possible way—climbing to the highest point of Arrábida with breathtaking views and the best company. And what a day it was! Clear skies, endless blues, and that magical feeling of standing on top of the world. 🌊✨ I absolutely loved sharing this adventure with you! From exploring local history and wildlife to that final push to the summit (totally worth it, right?!), every moment was a blast. And yes, I get it—you never want to come down from that view! I don’t either. 😍 Thank you for such an amazing start to the year, and I can’t wait for more fun, laughter, and unforgettable hikes ahead. After all, at Natalia Portugalia Tours, we live by one motto: Celebrate each day of your being! Until next time—Arrábida is waiting for you! 😉🥾 Kindly, Natália
