Sea Dreams is a coastal adventure company based in Torres Vedras, Lisboa, offering guided sea experiences along the Sesimbra and Arrábida coastlines. From departures at the Porto de Abrigo de Sesimbra, Sea Dreams runs kayak and coasteering trips that navigate dramatic rock formations and lead to secluded beaches like Praia do Ribeira do Cavalo. Kayak & Snorkel and Praia do Portinho da Arrábida trips highlight crystal-clear waters ideal for snorkeling and scenic paddles.
Sea Dreams also operates boat-based excursions including Praia da Baleeira, Praia da Cova da Mijona, Ilha Deserta to Tróia, and sunset cruises toward Cabo Espichel. Private boat rentals (Passeio de Barco Privado) are available with a dedicated team to assist in planning customized days on the water. The company offers special events such as Despedida de Solteira/o with tailored departure times.
Fishing experiences are a core offering: Pesca aos Sargos includes expert guidance along the rocky Arrábida coastline, and additional fishing options include targeting pargos, douradas, and chocos, plus introductory Batismo de Pesca sessions. Tours emphasize natural beauty, local maritime history, and access to hidden coves once linked to historical activities such as whale preparation.
Descriptions in each trip note departures from Sesimbra and visits to Arrábida and Tróia. Sea Dreams positions itself as a provider of varied coastal adventures—from adrenaline coasteering to relaxed beach days—with private and group options and an on-water team ready to help plan and personalize experiences. Some trips, such as Despedida de Solteira/o, offer tailored departure times for private events upon request.
