Activity itinerary

Lisbon (Pass by)

The tour departs directly for picturesque Nazaré. Expect a short, comfortable highway trip of around 90 minutes.

Sitio de Nazaré

At the first stop, you'll visit the promontory, known as Sitio, where a good handful of must-see attractions await you within walking distance. It's best to start at the Suberco viewpoint, 110 metres high, overlooking the town and Nazaré beach. Afterwards, we'll stroll around the site and, among other things, we'll go to the Ermida da Memória to learn about a famous local tale and also to the 14th century Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré, where you'll discover something curious.

Forte de Sao Miguel

1h
Admission ticket included

We continue on to the second stop, the 16th century Fort and currently Big Wave Surf Museum and Interpretive Centre of the Nazaré Canyon. The Fort is built on top of the cliff and overlooks the Nazaré Canyon, where the legendary Giant Waves take place and, depending on the time of year, you may see some brave surfers surfing them. Here you will learn everything about the phenomenon of the big waves of Nazaré.

Praia da Nazare

Before returning to Lisbon, you still have a third stop to make. You will visit Nazaré's golden sandy beach and the town's old streets, the fishermen's quarter, where you'll learn about local traditions, especially those related to the community's main activity, fishing. You'll enjoy meeting the Varinas, the local women dressed in their seven colourful skirts. By the way... Sometimes they're a bit cheeky!

Nazare (Pass by)

Suddenly it's time to head back to Lisbon, but if you want to have lunch locally (here you can taste some of the best fish and seafood in the world), just talk to us in advance... if we have availability, we will be happy to extend your tour a little longer so that you can enjoy a great lunch at Nazaré.

Lisbon (Pass by)

Back to the Lisbon area. The journey takes between 5 and 7 hours, depending on the optional visits you make and whether you decide to have lunch on site. As a matter of transparency, we would like to inform you that in addition to the added time of 2 hours given to the attractions listed in the itinerary, the remaining 3 to 5 hours announced refer to: 3 hours for the total travel time, and the other 2 hours for the total time of the moments listed as optional. By the way... we'd like you to know that by choosing us you're choosing a free tour for children under 11 and a 100% sustainable car trip, as all GHG emissions generated are fully offset. Remark: The sighting of the world's biggest surfable waves, over 25 metres high (+80 ft), can be enjoyed mainly between November and March. This event, although frequent during this period, is always subject to favourable weather conditions, so giant waves sightings cannot be guaranteed.
