What To Expect
After pick up from the meeting point, we’ll head to the starting trail — a quiet, lesser-used path that quickly leaves the crowds behind. This is my favourite part of the walk, where the landscape opens up and we can truly connect with nature, observing the native plants and coastal ecosystem that thrive here. As we follow the ridge, the ocean views become more dramatic, with steep cliffs dropping into the Atlantic. We’ll then reach Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, where I’ll share the legend behind this famous landmark and a bit about its historic lighthouse. Continuing along the coastline, we’ll make our way to Praia da Ursa — one of Lisbon’s most stunning wild beaches. If the sea is calm and conditions allow, you’ll have time for a refreshing swim in its crystal-clear waters. In afternoon hikes, this spot offers the perfect setting to watch the sun set over the ocean. We’ll end the experience with a scenic climb back to our starting point, surrounded by breathtaking coastal views. The trail is about 5 km long and moderately challenging, but we’ll keep a comfortable pace so everyone can enjoy both the adventure and the tranquility of this special place.

Experience a different side of Lisbon

5.00We had an awsome day hiking in Caiscais with Miguel. The hike was long and a bit more difficult than we anticipated but Miguel was so patient. He also did a great job in keeping us engaged with the hike with his seemingly unlimited knowledge of the fauna and the surrounding areas. I definitely recommend being honest with your hiking abilities/experience and Miguel will Taylor the hike to what is comfortable for you. Also hiking shoes will be an absolute benefit if you have them. I thought my trusty sneakers has sufficient grip😕. Half way through the hike Miguel let me use his shoes! And he used mine and what a different hike I was on after that. Again highly recommend hiking shoes. Other tourist spots are always on the list for Lisbon but if you want an actual experience on your trip Volta adventures with Miguel is an awesome choice!

5.00We had such a wonderful experience hiking with Miguel and would highly recommend him to anyone considering a guided hike. My wife and I joined him for a hike with absolutely beautiful views, and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Miguel is incredibly friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable. We booked quite late, but he was still very accommodating and made everything easy for us. What really stood out was the way he guides you. He makes you feel very confident in your own ability to hike, while at the same time sharing so much interesting knowledge about the surrounding environment. He has a very calm and encouraging way about him that makes the experience both enjoyable and reassuring. After the hike, he also gave us excellent recommendations for lunch and ice cream in Cascais, which was the perfect ending to a great day. If you are thinking about booking a hike with Miguel, do it. You’ll be in very good hands.
Perfect day

5.00We had an incredible time on this hike with Miguel. The whole experience was beautiful and very enjoyable from start to finish. The coastal views near Cabo da Roca are absolutely breathtaking, and Praia da Ursa is truly one of the most stunning beaches we have ever seen. Miguel was a great guide – friendly, calm, and very passionate about the area. He made the hike feel relaxed and fun while sharing interesting stories and information along the way. You can really see that he loves what he does. The route is spectacular and takes you through places you probably wouldn’t discover on your own. We had a fantastic time and are really happy we chose this experience. Definitely recommended if you want to see a wild and beautiful side of Portugal.

5.00This was a challenging hike through beautiful scenery—and most importantly, away from the crowds. Miguel was an expert guide and we enjoyed learning about the plants, the history of the area, the local culture. It was a highlight of our weeklong trip to Portugal. Thank you Miguel!
