What is Coasteering?

If you like a great adventure and the sea, coasteering is one of the most fun things you can do in the Algarve. It’s a mix of coastal hiking, easy climbing, swimming, cave exploring, and optional cliff jumps — all in one experience.

We organize coasteering with Sealand Algarve, a local team focused on unforgettable adventures and safe guidance, so you can push your comfort zone (as much or as little as you want) while discovering raw coastline you’d never reach on foot.
