Frequently asked questions
How does this experience work?
It was designed to give participants a genuine taste of Northern Portugal, connecting with local people, nature and fellow travellers. Everything is planned for you, so there is no need to worry about schedules or itineraries. Your only task is to relax, be present and let local hosts and guides lead the way, in a sustainable and responsible way.
What is included in the price?
Accommodation, activities, transportation, breakfast, insurance and selected meals are included. Flights are not included.
Can I join alone?
Absolutely. Groups are limited to a maximum of 8 guests and often include solo travellers, couples and small groups of friends from different nationalities. Most guests leave not only with memories, but with genuine friendships.
Where will we stay?
In Esposende, a small coastal town in Northern Portugal surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Cávado River and gentle green hills.
How fit do I need to be?
You don't need to train for it. There's biking, walks in nature and some time in the river, but nothing technical, and no one is left behind.
Do I get my own room, or do I share?
Rooms are shared, two people to a room. A private room is possible if there's space, for an extra fee. The earlier you book, the better your chances.
Which airport should I fly into?
Porto (Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport). It's the closest to Esposende, where the experience begins.
How do I get from the airport to Esposende?
Buses, including Flixbus, run from Porto Airport to Esposende's bus station. We can also arrange a shuttle for an extra charge. From the bus station, we take you straight to the hotel.
Will the food work for vegetarians or vegans?
Meals lean on Portuguese cooking, with plenty of meat, fish and dairy, but most dishes can be adapted. Tell us about allergies or dietary needs in your request so we can plan around them.
