Lisbon · NATIONAL PARKS
Good national parks tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Explore Sesimbra, Cabo Espichel, Arrábida beaches, a Moorish castle, and five Portuguese wines on a small-group day trip from Lisbon.
“Our guide was terrific. She was extremely personable, fun and accommodating. Had a great day full of interesting views and places, ending with a wine tasting. Fun bunch of people. Would highly recommend this tour.”
Cruise Lisbon’s Tagus Estuary with guide Carlos Cera, spotting flamingos, spoonbills, herons, and 200 bird species in a small group.
“We had a wonderful time on the river with our guide Carlos and the other guests. As the birds were breeding it was not peak season, but we still had some amazing sightings and multiple birds that I'd never seen before. Our trip had a range of experience levels and Carlos did an excellent job of tailoring the trip based on what each of us wanted.”
Watch flamingos, spoonbills, herons, and more on a three-hour Tagus estuary boat tour with guide Carlos Cera in Lisbon.
“We went on the Boat Trip/ Birdwatching in the Tagus Estuary at the end of February, 2024. This adventure let us observe Lisbon from the water which was a rare treat. Carlos, the guide, pointed out birds we had never seen before such as the Eurasian Spoonbill. We also had a beautiful view of the Vasco da Gama bridge when we went under it. Unfortunately it rained quite hard when we were on this trip so we recommend bringing a rain coat. Carlos was knowledgeable and experienced.”
Explore Arrábida National Park by jeep, with sea cliffs, hidden paths, Azeitão villages, and a tasting of Moscatel de Setúbal.
“It was nice to see a different part og Lissabon”
