Follow in the footsteps of legendary surfers, like Garrett McNamara, Sebastian Steudtner, Carlos Burle, Rodrigo Koxa, and many others, on a full-day private tour dedicated to the big waves of Nazaré. Following a pick-up from your hotel, head out to Nazaré, an approximately 1h15 drive. The described program is the full day standard program, but as this is a private tour, it can always be changed to best suit your preferences. After a quick tour of the traditional fishing village, go to the wave watching site where the waves can be enjoyed for as long as you wish. Take a break from watching the surfers, and go to Forte S. Miguel Arcanjo, the closest to the sea that you can get to without having to suit up and swim. Pause for lunch in one of the many seafood restaurants. Savor some of the best fish and seafood in the world. After lunch, and depending on the tides, there may be some more time to watch the waves before your return transfer to Lisbon. Alternatively, if there is still time and you prefer, you can visit one of the neighboring historical towns like Alcobaça or Obidos before the drop-off at your hotel at around 5:30 PM. If you select the Half Day program the focus will be only on the wave watching. Please note that waves or surfers in Nazaré cannot be guaranteed. The most probable time for waves to happen is between October and March but waves can only be predicted a few days in advance. If there are no waves or the time you wish to spend seeing them is shorter than allocated, we will always find alternatives in the nearby area to show you the best of Portugal's West Coast.

What people are saying about Nazaré

Tour guide/driver Pedro was great! We were able to go to all the sights noted on the itinerary and spend more time at one place as we requested. Nazare is beautiful and the restaurant that Pedro recommended was overlooking the ocean. Great ambiance and fresh seafood. Would recommend this tour for first time travelers to experience the most of your visit. Thank you Pedro and Hugo G.

It's definitely worth it. The guide Diego, not speaking Italian correctly, went out of his way to explain a lot of things to us anyway. Overall well worth the money to recommend

Pedro made the day absolutely exquisite. He was kind and knowledgeable. He made sure he customized what our priorities were and tailored the day. Couldn’t have asked for better.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and safety-oriented staff. Access to a warm shower after your rental. Convenient parking next to the marina.

An unforgettable experience

Bernardo our guide was very good and patient. I recommend it
