Our 'Best of the West' tour is the most unique way to see the epic Portuguese coast and beautiful beaches. We leave Lagos in our comfortable vans listening to great music and enjoying ice cold drinks. We visit secret spots, off the tourist map and finish with a gorgeous sunset at the best lookout on the west coast of Portugal. The stops have all been hand picked by Brodie, a Aussie man that's lived here for 18 years. He'll only take you to the best of the best. Ive lived here for ages, but if I could ask for my best day it would be this.

5.00Bodyboarding at sunset on the most stunning beach I have seen in Portugal? Yes please! 😍 We took a trip to the west coast with the absolute legend that is Brodie and he did not disappoint. Firstly, we looked about a ruin which was very interesting if not a bit dangerous…but you only live once! Then we got to look at the most westerly point of Europe which entailed a beautiful (slightly terrifying) cliff side view. Then we went to a stunning sandy beach where we got to bodyboard in some massive waves which was incredibly fun while some more sane/boring adults sat on the sand and admired the views. We rounded the trip off by watching the sunset from a viewpoint which was just the cherry on top to a very memorable night. Overall Brodie provided us with multiple memorable experiences mixing fun with natural beauty, some danger and great tunes in the van to create some once in a lifetime opportunities ❤️
Delicious Perfection!

5.00What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than getting wasted in some of the most beautiful secret spots that the Algarve has to offer? And to do it in excellent company with a beer in one hand and sangria in the other makes it even more epic! I can't recommend this experience enough. Your liver may hate you for it, but this tour is flipping excellent! Thank you guys for some very memorable excursions!
