About this activity
6h30 · the open jeep all to your group, up to 7 people, with a traditional Portuguese lunch included (veg/vegan options).
Coast & Country's full day in the Algarve's interior, with the open jeep all to your group — up to seven people — and a traditional Portuguese lunch included; vegetarian and vegan options can be requested when you book. Pick-up is from your accommodation in Albufeira.
The morning takes in the medieval castle of Paderne, with the old bridge below, and the Leitão windmill, where the guide explains how it worked. Then come the cork oak woods, hill villages with a stop for local produce, and the springs of the Alte stream, for a dip when conditions allow. After lunch you climb to the highest point of the tour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price per person?
No. The price is per vehicle, not per head — it is the same whether a few of you go or the full group.
What languages is the activity in?
The crew or guide speak Portuguese and English.
Will we see wild animals?
This is not an African safari. You may see foxes, wild rabbits, boar and various birds, but the focus is exploring traditional villages, stunning landscapes, local products and the 4x4 jeep adventure.
Where do you pick us up? Is pick-up included?
In Albufeira it is: pick-up and drop-off are free anywhere within the town. Outside it we still come for you — Armação de Pêra, Vilamoura and Quarteira — with a supplement per pick-up that depends on the option you choose and is shown at booking. What we need from you is the place: the hotel, the apartment, the street where you would rather wait. Without that address we have no way of knowing where to collect you, and it is the detail most often missing from a booking. The exact time is confirmed with your booking.
Can I bring small children?
For safety and insurance reasons, children under 7 cannot take part. We can recommend partners with covered jeeps that accept younger children.
How many people fit in a jeep?
Each jeep carries 7 to 8 people.
Can pregnant people or those with back problems go?
Yes, but it is not advised. Participation is possible upon signing a liability waiver.
Can I bring my pet?
On a shared departure, no — the jeep is full and not everyone is comfortable with animals. If yours is a lap-sized pet, talk to us before booking: we ask the operator and the other passengers on that departure, and if everyone agrees it can come. On a private departure the conversation is just between you and the operator, and it is far simpler.
What is the food like on the full-day tour?
Traditional Portuguese food. Vegetarian and vegan options are available if you let us know in advance; any other dietary requirement should be mentioned when you book.
