Description
Set off from Lisbon for a full-day adventure to the wild beauty of Berlenga Island, just off Portugal’s Atlantic coast. Your journey begins in the charming fishing town of Peniche, where a boat awaits to whisk you across the waves to this UNESCO Biosphere Heritage Site.
Upon arrival, switch to a smaller boat for a close-up look at the historic St. John the Baptist Fort. Built in the 17th century, this dramatic fortress played a key role in defending the coastline, and you’ll hear fascinating stories of its past as you explore its ramparts.
Take a scenic walk along the island’s authorized paths, soaking in panoramic views and spotting local wildlife unique to the reserve. At the port, enjoy free time for a delicious seafood lunch at the island’s only restaurant or relax on the beach, where snorkeling equipment is provided for you to discover the vibrant underwater world.
After lunch, choose between kayaking through the island’s dramatic sea caves or joining a glass-bottom boat tour to admire the cliffs and marine life. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, Berlenga Island offers something for everyone.
As the day winds down, return to the mainland and enjoy a comfortable transfer back to Lisbon. Group sizes are kept small for a more personal experience, and all boat transfers and snorkeling gear are included. Book now to secure your spot on this unforgettable Atlantic escape!
