Overview
You will discover by boat a region rich in historical and natural heritage, inhabited, in ancient times, by Phoenicians and Romans.
It will sail in the waters of the Marine Park Prof. Luíz Saldanda, protected by the Portuguese State, and which constitutes one of the coastal areas of the country with the highest number of species, being considered an oasis of marine life.
It is a visit to a sanctuary of biodiversity that in the 19th century fascinated the king oceanographer and marine painter, D. Carlos I.
On the Tróia peninsula and on the coast of Arrábida, visitors can find beaches and small islands of fine white sand, in a sea that is sometimes turquoise blue, where they wake up for a swim and for the pleasure of nature.

What To Expect
Boarding is in Setúbal, at the maritime-tourist pier (south side of the Fishermen's dock), which is 5 minutes walking distance from the office. Alternatively, upon request, you can board at Troia Marina (see conditions).
We begin the tour by sailing along the Sado River to Albarquel beach and the Comenda Palace, followed by the Outão lighthouse at the mouth of the Sado, which marks the entry into oceanic waters.
We will then pass by the wonderful beaches of Galapos, Galapinhos, Praia dos Coelhos, Creiro, Portinho da Arrábida, stopping for a refreshing swim in the turquoise blue waters. Next comes Alpertuche beach and a visit to the Arrábida gorges with their small caves bathed by crystal clear waters, followed by the return to Setúbal, but without first passing through Troia and the small islands near the tip of Adoche.
We may encounter dolphins, but this is not the main objective of this activity.
We intend to enjoy one of the most beautiful bays in the world and its incredible beaches, corners and secrets.
