Surf, boulder & lead climbing - João was such a lovely, fun and patient guide - and the beach where we did our surf lesson was gorgeous. We also did boulder climbing, and sport climbing on the sea cliffs. Sintra, where we had our picnic and bouldered, was beautiful, and our cliff climbing at the coast was stunning too. I’d go on a Cascais Routes adventure again in a heartbeat; it was absolutely brilliant. João couldn’t have been more relaxed or more helpful. It was also really good value. 5 star!

Catch a Wave - The weather was perfect and so was our coach, Joao! Our first time surfing and we both made it up on our boards more than once. We had a blast and can't wait to go back and have more adventures with Cascais Routes!

Perfect coaching! - Joao helped me with the basis of surfing and accompanied me in every step of the learning process so that I would feel reassured on the surf board. It was a truly amazing experience and made me love surfing from the very first moment. The praia de Guincho was a paradise and besides very helpful, Joao was very concerned about the environment and picked up every little piece of litter that he found on the way to keep the beach clean and preserve the nature.
