Portugal Exploration will combine all that is great about the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve and Portugal's rich culture. Surfing will be our priority as we hit the waves in and around Ericeira. Plus, we'll take a full day to visit the iconic surf town of Nazare. We'll also venture to one of the most iconic vineyards in the area and savor the local wines. And yes, we will be enjoying delicious local food, including some of the finest seafood on the planet. Oh, can't forget about the pastries, which include my favorite... pastel de nata.

You will want to arrive in Lisbon, Portugal. As soon as you have your baggage in hand and you're out of the doors of the customs area, I'll be there waiting for you. From that point on, all logistics are taken care of. You just sit back and let me handle everything Epic.

I will drive you to our base camp, about 35-40 minutes away. If others fly in shortly after you, I will pick you up and find a place to chill, eat, and maybe explore until others arrive.
