Set out from Doca de Santo Amaro with a marine biologist and skipper to seek wild dolphins, whales, seabirds, and sunfish. You will cruise the Tagus, reach the open sea, learn about cetaceans, and return past Lisbon landmarks. Tea, coffee, and a lounge are available before and after the trip.
“Little kids can get sea-sick, other than that, it was a great tour.”
Spend about three hours walking Angra do Heroísmo with a local guide such as Dora or Carolina. Visit the cathedral, Capitães Generais Palace, Misericórdia Church, market, theater, and Duque da Terceira Garden, with coffee and a traditional Dona Amélia pastry included.
“We really enjoyed our tour with Dora. Lots more f good information about the town and life in the Azores. Coffee and Dona Amelia tart were good too! Tour starts at a park on the west side of town. There’s a large free parking lot a 2-3 minute walk away if you’re driving.”
Join guide Iain Bendrey for a private coastal drive from Lisbon in an open-top vehicle. You’ll see Belém, Estoril, Cascais, Cabo da Roca, Praia das Maçãs, and Azenhas do Mar, with coffee or tea included and time to adjust the pace to your interests.
“Iain drove us through some incredibly beautiful beaches and cliffs on the eastern coastal area. Since we are seniors, he always help us getting in and out of his convertible. Iain was very attentive to what we like to see. It was a very relaxing and well spent day”
Meet Terra Incógnita at Doca de Santo Amaro for a 1.5-hour catamaran ride with welcome coffee and English, Portuguese, or Spanish instruction. You’ll see Belém Tower, Cristo Rei, Alfama, Commerce Square, MAAT, and the 25 de Abril Bridge from the Tagus.
At SoLo Brewing Coffee Lab in Lisbon, you’ll watch and take part in a small-group coffee roast, learn what to look for in green and roasted beans, then assess the results through guided cupping. The one-hour session ends with a 200g bag of freshly roasted coffee and tasting notes.
“We had a great experience at SoLo Brewing Lab. They really took their time to teach us about roasting coffee. You can see the Solo crew has a huge passion for making coffee which makes it an even more enjoyable tour. The tour is quite new but I definitely reccomend this to anyone who loves good coffee.”
A farm, a counter, a kitchen or a country.
