Rewilding adventure in Portugal

This trip is for anyone who loves nature and wants to learn more about rewilding techniques to restore natural ecosystems. Many guests say one of the reasons they join the trip is to meet other, like-minded people.

Our trips are made up of a mixture of solo travellers and small groups of 2, with most in their 30s - 50s.

We will be doing moderate physical activities, like hikes in nature and kayaking. Please make sure you are physically fit to participate in these activities.

Of course! Many people join as solo travellers and make friends along the way.

All our staff is certified in first aid, and we maintain a small number of guests per trip for close supervision. Every day, our team runs through risk assessment checklists to ensure we have all the equipment needed and are ready in case of any emergency. We will also ask you to tell us about any allergies and medical needs so that we can ensure your safety.

We pick the dates for our trips to optimise for the best weather forecast. However, in case of rain or extreme heat, we have alternate activities planned. We appreciate your understanding as we adapt to Mother Earth. We’ll communicate any schedule changes via Whatsapp. Don’t worry - we’ll find a way to have fun!

You will be sharing a room with someone else on the trip.

The rooms are spacious and will include two single beds, so you have a bed each. You will share a bathroom with the other person.

If you are travelling with someone you know, you can ask us to share the same room in the enrolment form after you’ve booked.

If you are a solo traveller, we will pair you with someone of the same gender and similar age.

If you feel really uncomfortable sharing your room, please reach out to us and we may be able to arrange a private room for an extra fee.
