Half-day 4X4 tour of the Monchique Mountains and Lake Bravura
Overview

This tour was specially designed for those who want to discover a more alternative side of the Algarve without rushing.
For many people, the Algarve is known for its beautiful beaches! But those who think that the Algarve is just about beautiful beaches are mistaken.
On this tour, we show you a very rural and hidden side, which goes unnoticed by most visitors. Due to our exploratory DNA, much of the route is done off-road, along very secret paths, in very green nature, with viewpoints that are truly unique in the Algarve region.

5.00Very great tour with our guide (whose name we unfortunately do not know), who showed us a lot and explained us. We would never have discovered these places alone or gotten the information. Thanks again, it was a very nice experience!

5.00Wonderful tour with Joao, who gave us wonderful insightful details about the area while managing the itinerary brilliantly, taking into account our small children who needed the occasional break for ice cream and running around! We saw eagles, partridge, scores of fruit trees, eucalyptus, "fire water" berries and more, and we stopped at great local cafes and a beautiful mountain top with incredible 360deg views. About 5h in total from Martinhal, including some fun off-road which was bumpy but exciting.
Full of *hit and giggles as a Kiwi would say.

5.00This is a must do trip, it delivered way more than we anticipated and was not your average sanitized tourist experience. It was fun, bumpy, dusty, and full of screaching and giggling from our two back seat passengers who had obviously never been off road before. Our guide John was super knowledgeable and delightful y entertaining throughout the entire trip. Book this trip and you will not be disappointed.
Brilliant

5.00Monchique was awesome! Stunningly beautiful and loved the offroad part especially. JOAO was informative and funny through out. I honestly will be recommending this company for excursions. The best there is.
A nice guide but not a good tour

1.00The tour guide was a friendly and good guy. I need to make this clear. It just wasn’t, however, a very good or interesting tour. We didn’t visit the main town which I was expecting. We spent most of the trip looking at, and talking about a lake that had no water.
