At Oporto Adventure Tours, we believe the best way to discover Portugal is to get outside, go beyond the usual tourist routes, and experience the places, people, food, and landscapes that make this country special. Our story began in 2012, after years of travelling around the world and searching for the kind of experiences we loved most: hiking through wild landscapes, discovering hidden places, meeting local people, tasting authentic food, and sharing unforgettable adventures. We brought that passion back to Porto and created Oporto Adventure Tours with one simple goal: **to help travellers experience Northern Portugal the way we love to travel ourselves — actively, authentically, and with a sense of adventure.** From the mountains and waterfalls of Peneda-Gerês National Park to the vineyards of the Douro Valley, our tours combine nature, adventure, tradition, and local culture. Whether you're looking for a peaceful day in nature, an adrenaline-filled canyoning or kayaking experience, or a multi-day journey through Northern Portugal, we want every trip to feel personal and memorable. We are passionate about responsible tourism and supporting the communities we visit. That's why we work with local restaurants and associations, promote traditional food and cultural heritage, and take an active role in environmental initiatives such as reforestation. With more than 10 years of experience and thousands of happy travellers, we continue to do what we love: **sharing the wild side of Northern Portugal with curious travellers, adventurers, and nature lovers from around the world.** Come explore with us — **where adventure meets tradition, nature, and culture.**
