“We went on a full day trip to Gere's national park with Teresa. She looked after us so well. The whole trip was adventurous and rewarding. We swam in a green lake and in a water fall. It involves rock climbing on steep hills so not advised for people with mobility issues. Teresa is very knowledgeable and caring. She lookes after everyone and checked on everyone to make sure everyone was safe and happy. The trip itself was great and Teresa just made it even better. BTW the picnic was delicious!”
Half-day canyoning in Gerês National Park from Porto with wetsuit gear, zip lines, slides, and jumps, plus round-trip transfers.
“I canyoneer a lot in the US and found this experience exceptional. The guides were knowledgeable and exceptional. Everything was well rigged and there were rescue methods built in. The rappels (abseiling) were short--this was more slides and jumps in a beautiful canyon. I agree with the reviewer who said this would be harder for someone without some sort of regular physical activity. But if you do, you will have a great time.”

A small-group day trip from Porto to Peneda-Gerês National Park for a steady hike, wild swimming in 7 lagoons, and a picnic lunch.
“We had such an amazing day with Ruben (apologies if the name is spelt wrong). He made our day enjoyable and gave us a lot of insight into Porto and about the area whilst on our hike. The packed lunch was perfect and as a non-hiker, I didn’t find the hike too difficult, and the swim in the lagoons made it all worth it. Would highly recommend!”
