Description

Explore beyond Lisbon and discover the unmissable site of Nazaré on a half-day private eco-Tour in an SUV from Lisbon. Totally hassle-free. Take benefit of our included pick-up and drop-off service and depart from anywhere in the Greater Lisbon area. Expect a short, quick drive on the highway of just over an hour to a place that is really worth seeing, through the hands and eyes of a Local. The tour departs directly for picturesque Nazaré. On arrival, 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 meters 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. If you feel like it, we can take a walk to the 16th century Fort and currently Surf Museum and Interpretive Center 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. You won't want to miss the opportunity to take the Nazaré Funicular. This cable car connects the two communities of Nazaré, the one by the beach and the one by the promontory. We'll also 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 colorful skirts. By the way... Sometimes they're a bit cheeky! 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) or continue discovering the region until the end of the day, just talk to us... we know some incredible sites in the region that go beyond the pin on the map and that we'd love to show you. 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 meters high (+80 ft), can be enjoyed mainly between November and March. This event, although frequent during this period, is always subject to favorable weather conditions, so giant waves sightings cannot be guaranteed.
