Sebastian
Did this guided tour in January, which is technically off-season in Portugal, however the views and experience were just as amazing! We were brought to a couple of waterfalls and amazing spots. We saw lots of wildlife and the local villages. The lunch provided was amazing and so much food to choose from. They did a great job of accommodating dietary restrictions and still had lots of food to choose from. Diogo was our guide and was an absolute beauty. He was extremely knowledgeable in the context of the plants, animals, insects and history of the many villages found within the park. He was super accommodating to the few of us who experienced motion sickness from the ride. You can tell he is very passionate about what he does and enjoys spending time with everyone involved. My partner and I would 100% book the tour again. It was an amazing experience!

Had an amazing tour into the national park to see waterfalls and the old village! Pedro was a great guide and made sure we had a chance to swim, as well as giving us lots of information about the area and plants. We had a great lunch at a local restaurant too - one of us is coeliac and Pedro made sure everything was safe. Would highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience on the Kayak in Peneda-Geres National Park. Our guide, Gui, was engaging, friendly, and knowledgeable in sharing history and information about the park. We could not have asked for better weather that day too! Kayaking on the lake was beautiful and peaceful. We hiked to a hidden waterfall, had a delicious lunch, and then got to see even more gorgeous views. We also had the special experience of coming across some of the wild horses that are in the park. It was really an overall special day. While many people take day trips to the Douro Valley for wine tours, we chose this instead to do something different and get to experience nature. We're so glad we did! We can't recommend Oporto Adventure Tours enough.

I booked this tour for my birthday and had the best day ever! The national park was absolutely stunning, and the whole experience felt special from start to finish. The tour was very well organised, and I loved learning about how the company supports the local village community and helps with tree planting in the park such a meaningful initiative. Our guide Diogo was a legend ! so deeply connected to nature and the region. His passion for what he does and for the land and the community truly shines through, making the experience priceless. I also really enjoyed sharing the day with two other wonderful travellers. And Diogo’s taste in music was brilliant it added even more fun to the journey! Highly recommended!

Alejandro took us on a national park tour on Sept. 18, 2025, and was, hands down, the BEST part of our travels through Portugal. There were six of us on our tour, and Alejandro kept conversation going without ever seeming like he was "putting on a show." He is a kind, knowledgeable, and thoughtful person who obviously cares deeply about the ecology of the absolutely gorgeous park and the well-being of the people who still live in the park. The villagers greeted him like one of their own, and he helped us understand how they work together to maintain their community and way of life. Alejandro helped my wife, who has a few mobility issues at the moment, navigate some of the rockier parts of the hiking portions of the tour. He took us to two stunning waterfalls where we were the only people present and gave us plenty of time to swim in the pools beneath them. (Definitely bring bathing suits and towels!) An outstanding lunch at a very nice village restaurant was included in the tour, and it featured some unique local flavors. (I'll be craving that wine sausage for the rest of my life!) We had a wonderful time getting to know the other people on the tour and Alejandro, who speaks several languages fluently, is a world traveler, and has studied in the U.S. If he ends up being your tour guide, trust me, you're in good hands.

We had the absolute best time on the river! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and we loved the rapids where we did Bonzai. We already want to come back!
