What is Active Travel?

Active Travel is traveling for exploration, and adventure, to be involved, and to experience outdoor activities. It is a new traveling perspective that integrates adventure, ecotourism, and cultural aspects of a discovery tour. 

The benefits of Active Tourism are countless. Besides being entertaining and multigenerational, it is recreational, educational, low-impact, ecological, and socially compatible. Active Travel is prevalent among young tourists and encourages much excitement by allowing tourists to connect with locals and nature and sometimes step outside their comfort zone. 

 

Types of Active Travel

Active Travel has risen exponentially worldwide post-covid, with tourists looking for outdoor, dynamic, and engaging activities. 

If you are looking for climbing, sliding, jumping into the water, and swimming, this type of experience, you can book through us. Arrabida Natural Park or the Algarve are the coasts best suited to this sport in Portugal!  

For adventurers, the Hard type is more appropriate. Activities with high levels of risk, requiring intense commitment and advanced skills, may include climbing mountains in the Azores or paragliding in Madeira. Our local professional guides exhibit advanced skills and perform these activities as tour leaders. 

 

Paragliding in Madeira 

If paragliding is on your bucket list, consider Madeira the perfect spot in Portugal. 

Enjoy a tandem paragliding flight on the idyllic island of Funchal in Madeira. Soar into the sky and discover an incredible feeling of flying. 

With a picturesque take-off area, Madeira is the most flyable spot in Portugal. The sunny weather all year round, allied to lifting air, beautiful landscapes, fantastic sceneries, and hospitable people, makes it an attractive Active Travel destination. 

 

Scuba Diving in Madeira 

Scuba diving in Madeira has a host of reefs, walls, wrecks, islands, and pinnacles to explore. Clear waters, volcanic sea beds, and a substantial serving of eco-diversity make this a fantastic spot for divers of all levels. 

Active Travel, which includes Scuba Diving, requires an on-spot instructor. The guide starts introducing the dive equipment and the effects of scuba diving before the first underwater experience. 

Master basic diving concepts in the pool and head off on an open-water adventure at Madeira's inviting 'shallow' house-reef. During the shallow dive, experience the feeling of weightlessness and be amazed by the beautiful underwater life.

Canyoning in the Azores 

The Azores possess three islands that provide excellent canyoning conditions, São Miguel, São Jorge, and Flores. It offers a vast supply of attractive canyoning options and itineraries for Active Travel, which are unique to each island.

The Azorean canyons have a mystic atmosphere within a luxuriant rainforest among spring water from the mountain. The experience starts with a welcome briefing, and then we provide all equipment and warm-up walking until reaching the opening scene.

The descent starts with scrambling, exploring the stream, and having fun in the playground, where one can try jumping, sliding, and rappelling along the small waterfalls.

One is ready to relax and enjoy the warm relaxing hot springs while remembering all the good moments spent during the day. 

 

Kayak in Arrábida

The region of the Arrábida Natural Park offers the ideal kayaking conditions: good weather, clear and transparent waters, and a vast sea coast to explore. 

Admire one of the most scenic views of Portugal while you enjoy kayaking along the coast. 

Our kayak tours take place in the Arrábida Natural Park, which integrates one of the most beautiful and unique sea cliffs in Europe, where the imposing escarpments, caves, and creeks of crystal clear water dominate the landscape.

This vital interaction with nature encourages cohesion among the participants, where pleasure overcomes stress and competitiveness.
