Start

This tour will take you through a place of untouched nature, rice paddies and beautiful secluded white-sand beaches bordering a turquoise sea. We will pick you up at your accommodation in our legendary Land Rover Defender. 

Part I

The Comporta Tour starts by crossing Tagus River on the marvelous 25th April Bridge. The 25th April Bridge is a suspension bridge that is often compared to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge due to their similarities. At the end of the bridge, you will pass by the giant Christ the King Statue erected to express gratitude because the Portuguese were spared the terrible effects of World War II.

Part II

We will now head to Setubal to catch the Ferry Boat. This boat trip on our way to Tróia peninsula is an opportunity to have a marvelous view and admire the beauty of the natural reserve of Sado estuary as well Arrábida Mountain. If you are lucky, you can even see Sado Dolphins that are resident on those waters.  

Part III

After reaching the peninsula we will pass by Tróia on our way to “Cavalos na Areia”. It’s time to head to the stables and choose your horse and get ready for a superb adventure. You will have experienced guides, instructors and carefully chosen and trained horses. This experience can be also made even if you have no previous horse-riding experience and, if that’s the case, it will be the perfect way to have your first equestrian experience.

You will ride in a breathtaking scenery in the middle of nature along a mixture of intense colors from the rice fields, through the pine forest and dunes until a paradisiacal endless secluded sandy beach is reached. Here you and your horse will run the sandy Atlantic coast as far as the eye can see in a one-hour horse riding experience. And what better way to escape from stress than a gallop with your horse feeling the Atlantic Ocean breeze on your hair along an endless beach licked by the ocean waves?

Part IV

After this memorable horse riding experience, it will be time to stop for lunch. We suggest that you enjoy delicious fresh grilled fish and fresh seafood Comporta has to offer. We will recommend restaurants that we consider the best experience for our customers in quality and price-wise. However, if you prefer to bring your own food it’s completely fine. We will park the Defender in a sweet spot so you can enjoy your meal with a great view. 

Part V

Time to explore the hippy-chic Comporta Village. Comporta is a picturesque small village situated between the blue ocean, white sand dunes, green rice paddies and pine trees. Nowadays, it has become a very upscale region in Portugal to spend your holidays. Celebrities from all over the world come to Comporta to spend laidback vacations in a calm place where no one will find them swapping from High Heels to Flip Flops and from busy avenues to calm peaceful streets with marvelous stork nests on the traditional chimneys.  It has been compared as the St-Tropez in the ‘70s, Ibiza in the ’80s, or the Hamptons in the ’90s, but Comporta has a rhythm and an ambience that are all its own. It’s like a forgotten oasis, a well-kept secret, a paradise that it’s still to discover by the masses. Here you will find an authentic Portuguese village where tradition and simplicity reign. 

Part VI

Now you will have some free time to enjoy and discover Comporta Beach. You can go take a swim on the crystal-clear waters, have a sunbath or just take a fresh drink in one of the trendy and chic beach bars. 

Part VII

At the end of the day, we will stop in Herdade da Comporta to visit one of the most famous wineries in the region. You will have a guided tour of the wine cellars to learn the history and process of wine production, followed by a wine tasting experience.

Part VIII

It’s now time to explore the Land Rover Defender Off-road capacities passing by rice fields on our way to Carrasqueira Palafitic Pier near Comporta. Built between the 50’s and 60’s on irregular wooden stilts holding colorful fishermen’s cottages it’s where the local fishing boats are anchored. It’s one of the most popular sites on the peninsula and is considered a work of art of popular architecture. Here it is possible to enjoy one of the best sunsets with Arrabida Natural Park in the backdrop.

The End
