A full day from Porto into Peneda-Gerês National Park for waterfall and lagoon swims, village culture, and a tasty lunch with local green wine.

“Our tour through Peneda-Gerês was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Between the breathtaking waterfalls, crystal-clear lagoons, scenic hiking trails, refreshing swims, and the unique experience of visiting the wolf village, every moment was unforgettable. Riding through the park in a vintage Land Rover made it all feel like a true adventure. What truly made the day special, though, was our guide, Cata. She was not only extremely knowledgeable about the park, the wildlife, and the history of the wolf village, but also incredibly friendly and FUN to be around. Her passion for both the adventure and her deep connection to the village shone through in everything she shared, which…”

From Porto: Gerês National Park Canyoning Trip

4.Gerês National Park Canyoning Trip

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 407 reviews · 6 hours · from $115

Canyoning in Gerês National Park from Porto, with wetsuit gear, zip lines, abseiling, jumps, and pickup plus drop-off in 6 hours.

“This tour has been my favorite part of visiting Europe. They provide all the gear that you need including wet suit, wet socks, and wet shoes and you just wear a bathing suit underneath. I have extremely sensitive skin and had no issues (which I was worried about beforehand) but everything was comfortable and clean. They lock up and take your belongings to where you end up afterwards so that you can put your clothes on right after you take off the wetsuit too. Everything was so much fun and well taken care of and I hope to canyon with them again someday.”

The water is so clean and clear there. The kayaking was also great, again, we had the whole lake practically to ourselves! I had great fun trying the SUP too. I would highly recommend this adventure!
