This adventurous cliff jumping, cave exploring, swimming adventure is a true Portuguese experience. The entire crew, including Marco; Joao; and Luiz was accommodating and kind. We saw some of the most beautiful sights and went way outside of our comfort zone in the best way possible. We felt totally safe in the competent hands of Joao and Luiz, as our guide and boat captain, respectively. These people shared their precious land with us, and we were so grateful!
A few important notes:
1. You definitely need water shoes or an old pair of sneakers. If you need water shoes, email in advance. They don’t have them on sight
2. Our excursion was just my husband and I, so we were able to make it as adventurous as we wanted. Expect to climb on some pretty high cliffs and swim with life jackets. It was not easy, but it was totally doable.
3. Luiz took lots of photos of Dave and I. I was so happy to not bring a phone and truly immerse myself in the experience. Again, our tour was just the two of us, so it may not be that way with a larger group, but we were lucky to have such attentive guides.
