West Coast Wild Beaches HIKE, SWIM & TAPAS in the Vicentine Coast Natural Park

Discover Western Europe's most wild & remote beaches on this handcrafted adventure deep into the Algarve's magical Costa Vicentina Natural Park.

This is an active, hands-on, full-sensory experience that blends hiking, movement & discovery with space for stillness, reflection & education.

We'll finish on our own private beach, where we'll swim (optional), relax, and enjoy a delicious picnic lunch.

OKAY, SO HERE'S THE PLAN:

On this trip, we will...

JOURNEY West to the Algarve's Costa Vicentina Natural Park, Western Europes best protected coastal wilderness.

HIKE across Portugal's most dramatic & secluded landscapes in search of secret beaches & untouched sand.

IMMERSE ourselves deep in the natural world, far from the crowds.

LEARN the coast's many rich natural & cultural histories with stories, games, & all of our senses.

SWIM in the sea, if we want. There's no better reward :)

EXPLORE secret beaches, play in the sand, and enjoy free time to soak it up.

EAT a delicious tapas picnic lunch featuring local delicacies inspired by the Algarve's rich tradition of flavors.

SQUEEZE every last drop out of the day.

FINISH FEELING rewarded, refreshed, salty, & inspired :)

My approach is unconventional:

​

I choose wilderness & remoteness over guidebook tourist destinations; intentional, mindful travel over superficial sightseeing; interaction & collaboration over passive following-along; discovery & learning opportunities over photo opportunities; rustic, physical experiences over easy, mass-market ones.

My trips blend movement, action, and discovery with space for wonder, reflection, appreciation & surprise, and are filled with laughter, learning, stories, music, food & more.

My aim is simple and sincere: To share a travel experience that's not just fun, but meaningful; not just good for us, but good for the world; not just a social media moment, but a memory for life.
