West Coast Adventures

West Coast Adventures Hands-on, hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind adventures to the Algarve's wild West Coast and magical Costa Vicentina Natural Park. Hey there, traveler!

Since 2013, I have been crafting, refining & sharing my one-of-a-kind adventure experiences, one small batch at a time, with thousands of guests from around the world. My approach is unconventional:a

I choose wilderness & remoteness over guidebook tourist destinations; intentional, mindful travel over superficial sightseeing; discovery & learning opportunities over photo opportunities; and rustic

, physical experiences over easy, mass-market ones. My aim is simple & sincere:

To share a travel experience that's not just fun, but meaningful; not just good for us, but for the world; not just a social-media moment, but a memory for life. My tours are expressions of my personal passions, values, & vision of this special little place on Earth. I'd love to share it with you!

Barely scratching the surface.

What can six seconds capture from a full day of exploring?

Not much.

📓 Trip Report – Staying Cool

The rest of Europe may be baking…

But out here on the West Coast, summer feels completely different.

The Atlantic keeps this coastline surprisingly cool, with fresh ocean breezes and water that’s never far away. On even the hottest days, we’re hiking in the coolest corner of southern Europe.

Need an escape from the summer heat?

Come explore the Algarve’s wild side, cool off with a refreshing swim, then throw on a jacket as the sun sets over the Atlantic with a glass of wine and flavorful tapas in hand.

Thanks to today’s crew for another great summer adventure.

Ps… this is my first ever Reel. Starting nice and cheesy and let’s see :)

📓 Trip Report – Wind & Wildlife

Today we had it all: wind, sun, sweat, views, wildlife, laughs… and a proper adventure out West.

Thanks to my small crew of adventurers for a great day out on the wild side.

📓 Trip Report – Still Awaiting Summer

May in the Algarve is usually when spring gives way to summer: beach weather, endless blue skies, and long warm evenings.

But not yet.

Spring is still very much hanging on out here, with moody skies, stormy winds, and rain showers rolling through all week long. Monday’s adventure felt like four seasons in one day.

Thanks to my international crew — from the USA, Netherlands, and Taiwan — for a great day out West!

Usually, I lead tours far from civilization.

But I’ll make an exception for a view like this :)

📓 Trip Report – Beginner’s Mind

Today we had it all: blue skies, a cool breeze, good hiking, and even better company — topped off with a great sunset.

But the thing I’ll remember most? Being both a teacher and a student.

With three field biologists in the group, I wasn’t the only one sharing stories and teaching moments out there. It was one of those days where I learned as much as anyone.

Thanks, crew, for your sharing your knowledge and positive energy. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with you!

👣 Trail Moment – Full Moon Rising

Most people don’t realize that the full moon rises in the East at almost the exact moment the sun sets in the West.

Yup. Every single time.

So once a month, if the clouds align, we get a double show, like this one last week: the sun falling into the sea as the moon rises from the land.

Magical.

🌿 The magic can’t be found on a phone. Drop it, and come get amongst it.

📓 Trip Report – Summer Skies, Spring Air

After months of endless rain (thank you, sky gods!), it’s finally starting to feel like summer out here.

Sunny, warm, blue skies… but still with a touch of spring in the air: fresh, cool, and crisp.

Easter week has officially kicked off the tourist season, and I had a beautiful run of hikes this week.

Here are a few moments from one day out with a private family of four. Thanks crew for a great day!
