Ryan_C, October 2026
We had an amazing day with Ines. She was a wonderful guide and conversationalist, sharing her passion about the national park and its conservation. We went to some really beautiful places and had the chance to truly unwind and relax. Ines made it so that the whole day felt like spending time with a friend. Thank you, we had a great time!

★★★★★Viator review
Beautiful, serene and highly enjoyable day trip with Ines
Emma_G, October 2026
This experience made my time in Portugal. We had a fantastic day with our guide, Ines, she brought the national park to life through her depth of knowledge on the ecology of the park, and just general love for life which was infectious. The water holes were beautiful, the restaurant served local, homely food and the 4x4 off roading was great. The day looked to be a bit rainy and we were even called the day before to try and work-out alternate routes to make the day as exciting / fun as possible. I think this is a great thing to do if in Porto or anywhere nearby for the day!
★★★★★Viator review
