About this activity
4 hours of jeep inland plus a 2.5-hour kayak trip along the coast, among caves and hidden beaches only reachable by sea.
An off-road adventure through the hills and villages of the interior, away from the beaches, with viewpoints, natural springs and a stop at a local farm. Half day, full day with lunch, at sunset, in a hard-top Land Rover — or paired with a boat trip, kayaking or coasteering. From €40 to €98.50 per person, depending on the option.
Leave the coast behind and discover the authentic Algarve of the interior. Aboard a 4x4 jeep, we climb into the hills on dirt tracks, among cork oaks and strawberry trees, with stops at breathtaking viewpoints.
Along the way we visit traditional villages and taste local products — medronho spirit, honey and figs. A fun, colourful adventure, perfect for families and groups.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
