This was a wonderful late April holiday in Portugal, my first with Exodus. The itinerary and accommodation were first class. Everything was so well organised and very diverse, the walking covering beautiful countryside and woodland as well as stunning coastal paths. As it was Springtime everything seemed to be in full bloom which was an added delight. As a group of eight coming together for the first time we gelled well together and enjoyed some wonderful walks, meals and activities together. The friendly, gracious and careful way in which our group leader Inês managed the tour was admirable. The additional activities and learning about flora, fauna, and Portuguese customs were perfect additions to the holiday. The bread baking, olives, ceramics, wine and an artisan olive oil producer provided a holistic and rounded experience of the Algarve for us all.
Hiking & Biking in the Algarve
Algarve Hike & Bike Tours
Located in Portugal’s southernmost region is the beautiful Algarve coastline. Known for its whitewashed fishing villages, golden stretches of sand and scalloped turquoise-fringed bays, the region is blessed with a warm, sun-drenched climate nearly all year round, making it perfect for hiking & biking. Its rugged coastlines stretch for over 60km, from the Moorish old town of Faro along the west to the spectacular fishing village of Cacela Velha in the east. Discover this enchanting area of Portugal for yourself on our Algarve biking & hiking tours.
On our Hiking Portugal’s Coast and Beaches trip, discover the most hidden shores that have remained largely untouched by tourism. Beginning in the picture-perfect town of Vila Nova de Milfontes, this Algarve hiking tour takes you along quiet cliff trails in the region of Alentejo, that only the locals know towards the best beaches, authentic villages and sleepy traditional fishing towns.
Another Algarve holiday that allows you to explore Europe’s most south westerly point at Cabo de Sao Vicente is our Self-Guided Hiking the Algarve’s South West trip. Take a tranquil walk through the Carrapateira and Sinceira valleys, walk among eucalyptus trees and citrus orchards to Vila do Bispo and end the adventure overlooking Sagres’ impressive fortress, for an Algarve hiking tour to remember.

Margaret Meloni Walking Portugal's Wild AlgarveDiscovering the Algarve in Portugal was fantastic. Experiencing its beauty by exploring scenic hiking trails was the right way to go. Meeting charming local business owners and talented artisans along the way enhanced the trip. Hearing the story behind a family-run olive oil press or discovering how locally grown berries are transformed into liquors gave us insight into the passion people feel for their land and how they live on it. Sampling the local wines and savoring delicious meals at cozy restaurants was a bonus.
