Best of the West

About this experience

Our 'Best of the West' tour is the most unique way to see the epic Portuguese coast and beautiful beaches. We leave Lagos in our comfortable vans listening to great music and enjoying ice cold drinks. We visit secret spots, off the tourist map and finish with a gorgeous sunset at the best lookout on the west coast of Portugal. The stops have all been hand picked by Brodie, a Aussie man that's lived here for 18 years. He'll only take you to the best of the best. Ive lived here for ages, but if I could ask for my best day it would be this.
