3.Full Day Jeep Safari in Algarve

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 285 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $70

Leave Albufeira’s resort strip behind for a seven-hour jeep tour through Paderne, Alte, Benafim, and the Algarve hills. Your guide may be Thomas, George, Marco, Jota, or another multilingual driver. Expect local tastings, lunch, cork-country stops, rough tracks, countryside views, and a river swim.

“This was such a fabulous day discovering a large area of the Algarve. Our guide, Thomas, could not have been more fun AND knowledgeable. He shared so many interesting details and facts about the entire area throughout our day. He kept us on track for time without making us feel we had to watch the clock and just let us be relaxed and happy. The route and stops are very well paced and give you a chance to sit and enjoy beverages, and your lunch, in picturesque locations. We learned so much and had time to take in the beauty of the Algarve. I could not recommend this excursion more.…”

4.Jeep Safari Tour – Full Day

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 177 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $68

Spend about seven hours exploring the Algarve interior in a Land Rover Defender. Visit Alte, Paderne Castle, cork country, and Moinho do Leitão, with local pastries, orange juice, mountain views, and an optional traditional lunch. Guides such as Carla, Tiago, José, and Jesús are praised for lively local insight.

“The meal at the end was really good. Everything on the menu was delicious. The drive was interesting into the local areas. Fruit trees abound. We were able to pick some fruit, oranges and lemons. Incredible roman aqueducts. The towns were a lot of fun and the stop at the store for fresh food and a taste of "firewater". Loved the windmill and learning about how it works and it being a community supporting the working of the windmill. Our driver, Carla, was full of life and Portugal. She also would put a New York cab driver to shame.”

5.Sunset Jeep Safari with Dinner in Algarve

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 105 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $70

Ride from Albufeira into the Algarve countryside with guides such as Marco, Holly, Gil, or Paulo. Visit Paderne Castle, sample honey and local spirits, stop in Alte, swim in a river, watch sunset from a high viewpoint, then sit down to dinner. Expect a lively, sometimes bumpy 6-hour outing.

“The only point to improve first: Please write somewhere in the description, that the tour needs jackets after sunsets as it gets very cold with the wind. Other than that, our guide was absolutly one of the best i have ever had on such safari tours. He has brought us to some amazing views and showed us a lot of useful informations about the algarve and it's history. I also defenitley recommend to book the tour with the dinner afterwards. The dinner is amazing for the price you pay for the whole tour. Thanks for an incredible expirience.”
