Beyondadventures Arvostelua 208

We took several tours when we visited Lisbon. This was by far the most fun! It was an adventure right from the start. João was an amazing host, he provided snacks, a delicious picnic on the beach, wine and a lot of laughs! Our whole group bonded and the photos he took during our day are beautiful memories. Five stars aren’t enough!

Do yourself a favor and do the kayak adventure with João aka Johnny! This was by far one of the best experiences of our time in Portugal. Not only did we get to listen to the hysterical jokes, but João let us come to his home to get all of the necessary gear for the day. He thought of everything from the music to the food on the beach to the historical insight of the area. I went with my four siblings and we can’t stop talking about how awesome this kayak trip was. You won’t ever regret booking this! Also, I think I’ll have to bring my other siblings over to Portugal just for this experience. 10 stars!

This adventure was amazing!! We were challenged, educated, nourished and surrounded by the beauty of the Arrábida Natural Park!!

Joao did a great job making sure my family had a safe, exciting adventurous outing. So glad we took this outing for a day of nature and fun. Lisbon is gorgeous but it was nice to take a break from the city and just experience the beautiful nature Portugal has to offer as well.

Seriously so fun and an amazingly unique experience!

Wow, what an experience!

I have been around the world and tried plenty of different excursions, but I've never had something quite like this.

This excursion combines kayaking, caving/coasteering, cliff jumping and snorkelling all in one, with our guide, Joao (and his jokes) being the cherry on top!

I had absolutely zero complaints & would not hesitate to go with Joao again!

What. A. Day! Our family had an absolute blast exploring the stunning coast of Portugal with Beyond Adventures. Think jaw-dropping views, water so clear it looks fake, and cliff jumping that made us feel like action movie stars! It’s a full-body workout disguised as fun — and totally worth every sore muscle. If your holiday needs a little extra wow, this is it!

I always wanted to do kayaking, and I really enjoyed it. It was a good day, it was a small group, so the instructor gave us all the attention and information we needed.

A great day and a lifetime experience for my family. Did and saw some things for the first time in life, like diving from a cliff, getting into caves through narrow crevices, seeing fossils, snorkeling. Our four year old daughter got to do all the things thanks to the best guide and amazing group who helped us with her. My ten year old declared it as the best day of his two week trip to Portugal. Highly recommend others to do this atleast once in life. We will recommend Joao and beyond adventures to our friends and acquaintances who travel to Portugal next.

Everything was perfect — really, everything. The activities were just as promised: fun and engaging. But what made the experience unforgettable was João’s incredible energy, deep knowledge, and genuine empathy.

The word AMAZING just doesn’t give it justice. The energy and sincerity of Joao was remarkable. My husband and three teen daughters loved this day of adventure. Kayaking in the ocean, cliff jumping, cave exploring, snorkeling, a well crafted beach lunch, and so much more. Perfect day!

Extraordinaire, le guide à une énergie monstrueuse et d'excellentes connaissances !
Passant cela, l'activité est meilleure que ce que vous imaginez. Ce que vous imaginez maintenant c'est en dessous de la réalité de ce que vous vivrez !

Entre le kayak, la visite de quelques grottes (avec explications), le saut de hauteur (de 3 à 8 mètres de haut), la nage avec masque à tubas, les visites dans les rocheuses, les crackers au fromage et la confiture, le pic-nique à la fin de l'activité sans compter les explications sur la route de tout ce qui nous entoure.

Une guide investi, énergique, avec une joie de vivre extraordinaire.

Franchement, foncer, même sans trop comprendre l'anglais, il est tellement expressif que vous comprendrez !

Allez-y

Joao provided an extraordinary day for myself and adult daughter. From the facility where we geared up to the cave exploring, food and beverages (including short stop for fresh bread at local bakery)...it was a 10 star experience. Even the bad jokes get 10 stars. The grape joke was my favorite. Joao is very knowledgeable about the area and history and has an unequivacle passion to share these experiences as a career and create lasting memories. Breakfast snack on ride, snack after caving, generous spread of lunch on beach at the end was just perfectly timed. No one wants to eat huge amounts of food before kayaking, rock jumping, cave exploring and snorkeling. Complete thoughtfulness and experience was demonstrated time and time again. We had a variety of experience level in our group today. Joao worked with everyone to make them comfortable. It was truly on of the best tour group experiences I've EVER had! OBRIGADA, OBRIGADA, OBRIGADA ❣️

Such a wonderful experience from start to finish! The day was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and stunning scenery. Everything was well organized, the food and drinks were delicious, and our guide made sure we felt comfortable and taken care of at all times. Kayaking, cliff jumping, exploring caves, and snorkeling it all added up to a truly memorable trip. Definitely a highlight of our vacation!

João was full of life the entire trip and had an answer for any question you could ask him. There may be lots of other trips that look like they could compare to what he offers, but the truth is… without João you would never be able to find an experience like this. This is more than a job for him, it’s his hobby and a life that anyone would be lucky to get a glimpse into.

João was fantastic. So energetic, knowledgeable, encouraging, and kind. Me and my brother had an absolute blast. The equipment was also great quality and everything was wonderfully organised. Would highly recommend!

It’s honestly the best experience! You can’t go wrong! João is very energetic and he genuinely wants everyone to have an amazing time!

The Best Day Ever – An Unforgettable Adventure with João!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you’re heading to Lisbon and looking for an unforgettable adventure, look no further. From the moment we met João, his energy was absolutely contagious. He led us through an epic day of kayaking, cliff diving, and exploring hidden caves, all set against the stunning backdrop of Arrábida Natural Park.

João’s passion for his hometown shines through in every hilarious story and perfectly timed (and delightfully corny) joke. After working up an appetite, we enjoyed a delicious lunch right on the beach—a moment of pure magic.

Back at “home base,” João welcomed us like family, even sharing his family’s homemade port wine for a heartfelt toast to the day’s adventures.

Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just looking to push your comfort zone in the most fun and safe way possible, João’s your guy. Just look for the cowboy hat flying through the air—you’re in for one wild and wonderful ride!

Joao was an amazing tour guide and the scenery along the coastline is spectacular.
