Climbing and surfing trip - I did the rock climbing half day tour in Cascais and the half day surf trip in Praia do Guincho. The climbing portion was excellent, beautiful views and enough challenging routes to keep yourself busy. The surfing half day was fun as well, the currents were strong but João and Bernard made us feel safe the entire time. They were very patient and had a great sense of humor. I would recommend Cascais routes for your outdoor adventures in and around Cascais.

MUST DO EXPERIENCE!!! - MUST DO! Fantastic day. Rock climbing instructor was welcoming, attentive, and very polite. I was a first time / beginner and absolutely had the best time. Also, met two others whom were international, and solo travelers, which is always a bonus. Having said that, we visited the beach after, and got dinner. This helped create a whole day trip out, which I'll always remember. Best, Dave, Woohoo!

Great afternoon - We had a fantastic afternoon with Joao climbing down on the sea cliff in Cascais - definitely a highlight of our time there. Joao was very trusting and experienced and this allowed us to explore and improve our climbing skills under his clear instruction. Joao also clearly communicated with us via WhatsApp before the trip to make sure we were in the right place at the right time. Although quite expensive, it was well worth the money as he provided all the equipment as well as the expertise! Thank you 😊 would highly recommend.

An awesome experience that goes above and beyond - I did a combination of surfing, lead climbing and trail running with João and had the most amazing time out there! There were so many things that stood out such as the ease of communication, the combinations of functional movement and progressions to build up to the actual activity, understanding the skill level and adapting accordingly, the incredible locations, as well as going above and beyond to help with tips around the area. João has a wealth of local knowledge and experience, and I'd highly recommend booking in with him if you're into any sort of adventurous activities in an outstanding area!

Wonderful Experiences - A very friendly service, everything was perfectly organised and the location is simply stunning. There is a huge variety of climbing challenges available so whether you are just starting or have lots of experience this is definitely the place for you. Joao taught us how everything works, both me and my 8 year old son had great fun together and were very happy that we could not only do climbing but also head straight to the beach for a surf lesson and later on a Kayak tour. Highly recommended. Thanks!

Amazing start into climbing - Amazing experience! I never climed before and joao had so much oatience and showed me everything in detail in order to feel safe. I learned techniques of climbing and the different knots and how to feel more confortable in the wall. Futhermore, I got to know the region from a different view off the beaten track, which was incredible! If ill be back for surfing, climbing, kayaking or trail running, I sure contact cascais routes!

Awesome experience - I went climbing with Iris and Joao and it was my highlight of Cascais! Don't hestitate to book this experience! Iris and Joao guide you very well and they have all levels. I'm quite a beginner and the rocks were very good to climb for me. There are also some challeging ones. The view/location is also a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Thank you Iris and Joao for this experience. I would come back to Cascais just for this climbing experience! Loved it!
