Activity holidays in Portugal

The history of Portugal and her cultural influences is as rich as her natural landscape is diverse. Once a great empire, colonising large parts of Africa, China, America and Malaysia, it's a facinating place for gentle exploring on an activity holiday. In Portugal, Madeira and the Azores our selection of walking holidays and cycling holidays let you discover magnificent Baroque buildings and gilded altar carvings, exotic fruits and Oriental spices, and stunning natural vistas.

Walking activity holidays in Portugal

On the Portuguese mainland you dip into the historical wealth and the natural splendour of a country whose identity has been shaped by the Romans, the Moors and by her conquests of other nations and continents. A country split by the majestic Montanhas and the Serra da Estrela, a natural divide between the humid Atlantic North and the dry Mediterranean South.

On Madeira our walking holidays concentrate on the stunning natural beauty the island has to offer. Our walks take you through magnificent coastal and mountain scenery with exotic flowers and rare birds of prey on view at every step in this beautiful 'floating garden'.

You get to visit the very best of the Azores Islands on our guided walking holiday here. From the luxuriant tropical flora and hidden thermal pools of Sao Miguel, to the banana terraces and natural lava pools of Sao Jorge, to the verdant craters and sunning lunar landscapes of Faial.

Cycling activity holidays in Portugal

Our cycling holidays in Portugal explore the far south western corner of the Iberian Peninsula, a remote and rural region of tiny white villages, rolling verdant hills and over 100km if wild deserted beaches untouched by tourism.
