the expedition
More than a hike, this is a complete mountain immersion. The expedition takes us through dense forests, ancient paths and hidden valleys, where the sound of water and the silence accompany every step. Along the way we find small waterfalls and crystal-clear streams.
Ancient forests, hidden waterfalls and two days of true adventure.

What our guests say
Verified reviews · 4.9★ across 91 reviews
We did a two-day trek. Incredible landscapes. A very committed and friendly guide. A beautiful, demanding route, especially Loriga up to the top of the range. Excellent value for money. I'd do it all again.
Today we did a four-hour 4x4 tour of Serra da Estrela and it was simply wonderful. Sérgio was a flawless guide — knowledgeable, calm, and with that respect for the mountain that only someone who truly feels it can pass on. He took us along tracks that tell old stories and made us feel we were discovering it all for the first time.
The tour was perfect! We got to see Serra da Estrela through places that are beautiful and well off the usual route. Sérgio really cares about giving guests a different experience, and he looks after everyone's wellbeing and safety. Our family highly recommends this activity!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need previous experience?
No. Our activities are designed for all levels. The guide adapts the pace and difficulty to the group, so anyone in reasonable physical condition can join.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We assess conditions in the 24h before. If it's unsafe to go ahead, we'll reschedule or fully refund. Light rain usually doesn't cancel — the mountain is beautiful under clouds too.
How do I book and pay?
Book through the online form or WhatsApp. We confirm availability within 24 hours. Payment is made after confirmation via bank transfer or MB Way — nothing is charged before we confirm.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 48h before the activity, with full refund. Within 48h, the date can be changed subject to availability.
What languages are the activities run in?
Our guides run the activities in Portuguese, English and Spanish. If you would prefer another language, tell us when booking and we will confirm availability.
Are the activities suitable for people with reduced mobility?
It depends on the activity. The 4x4 tours and the Douro boat tours are the most accessible, since most of the time is spent in the vehicle or on board, with short stops. Trails and night hikes involve uneven ground. Talk to us before booking and we will point you to the best option.
Do you cater for vegetarians or food allergies?
For experiences that include a meal or tasting, tell us about any dietary restrictions when booking. We confirm them in advance with the local producers and restaurants we work with.
What fitness level is required?
Each expedition has its own grade (easy, moderate, hard) — always shown on the page. We recommend some hiking habit for trips longer than one day.
Are accommodation and meals included?
Yes, on most multi-day expeditions: rural hotel or local guesthouse, breakfasts, picnic lunches and regional dinners. Always check the "Included" section on each expedition page.
What gear should I bring?
Trekking shoes, small backpack, layers (the mountain changes quickly), water and snacks. We send a full checklist after booking.
