About this experience

We’ll pick you up in Lisbon and drive to the coastal town of Peniche. There, we’ll board a boat that will take us to the Berlengas Islands. Once we reach the paradise of Berlengas, we’ll explore the island and its nature, fauna, and flora. You’ll learn about the myths and legends associated with the numerous shipwrecks around these islands, which are now an incredible destination for scuba diving. After our walk, we’ll stop at the St. John the Baptist fortress. Depending on your preference, you can either visit the caves and circle the islands in a kayak or do the same aboard a comfortable glass-bottom boat. Don’t forget to bring a swimsuit, as you’ll have the chance to swim during our journey. Before returning to the mainland, we’ll enjoy a picnic on the beach and relax for a bit. After our adventure on the island, we’ll return to the boat and head back to Peniche. At the end of the boat ride, we’ll return to Lisbon and drop you off at your accommodation.
