Portugal Hiking Tours and Trips

The walk lived up to all expectations and the accommodation was comfortable and appreciated at the end of a long day of walking. While dinner was provided for most locations and satisfied a walker's hunger, sadly many of the establishments failed to showcase the food of Portugal and Spain.

It’s now two weeks since I returned from Portugal and I wish I was back walking the wild Algarve. The unspoiled coastline was spectacular with few tourists, just surfers riding the huge waves. Also what was so noticeable was the fact that there were no litter bins but also no litter anywhere - the environment is truly respected.

Had a great time walking with 10 friends. The planning went smoothly thanks to the Auckland office staff. Everything was spot on - the accommodation, the meals, the information provided. Excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Portuguese Coastal Camino. We were fortunate to experience mostly beautiful spring weather throughout the journey. The organisation of the trip, including the coordination of hotels and luggage transfers, made for a smooth and successful walking experience. One of the highlights each day was the pilgrim dinners. After long days on the trail, it was wonderful to come together for a meal without the added stress of searching for somewhere to eat. It added to the sense of community and allowed us to fully enjoy and reflect on the experience each evening.

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.

The trip was fantastic. The hotels were of a much better level than we expected and the owners/staff of all hotels were very hospitable and gracious. The dinners were all excellent as well, with much more variety and choices than one might hope for on such a trip. The luggage transfer worked flawlessly with only one exception, and even then we got our luggage back very quickly. We will definitely do other routes of the Camino with you guys. And… for those who are wondering whether or not to do the Camino… you will not be disappointed. My wife and I are experienced hikers and climbers, not new to adventure, but the experience of sharing a sacred route with so many other pilgrims, all carried by the same inspiration, is something we will never forget.
