Overview

Escape Lisbon for one of Portugal's best-kept secrets: the Berlengas Islands, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve just 1.5 hours from the city.

On this private full-day tour from Lisbon, you'll travel in comfort to the fishing village of Peniche, board a shared boat to Berlenga Grande.

Visit the iconic São João Baptista Fort, built in the 17th century to defend Portugal's coastline from pirates. Walk the island's nature trails, swim in crystal-clear Atlantic waters, and explore dramatic sea caves — optionally by glass-bottom boat. Unlike crowded group tours, this is a private tour: just you, your group, and your dedicated guide.

Want to add even more to your day? We can combine this Berlengas day trip with a stop in the medieval walled village of Óbidos — one of Portugal's most charming destinations, just 20 minutes from Peniche.
