Feeling Berlenga operates from Peniche, Leiria, offering boat trips to the Berlengas archipelago.
The company provides eight distinct packs: Guide Pack, Full Day Pack, Standard Pack, Advanced Pack, Premium Pack, Caves Pack, Scuba Pack and Luxo Pack. Trips include guided cave visits, glass‑bottom boat sightseeing, snorkeling with provided gear on the Premium Pack, and a diving baptism on the Scuba Pack for guests aged 12 and up.
Travel options include catamarans, speedboats, glass‑bottom boats and sporty yachts depending on the pack chosen. Durations vary from round trips and four‑hour adventures to full‑day excursions. Passengers are advised to bring swimwear, comfortable clothing and essentials; some trips require registration for a mandatory tourist fee. Many departures emphasize a fast, smooth ride to reduce seasickness by offering fast catamarans or speedboats. Guided visits to grottoes and caves are featured in multiple packs, and snorkeling equipment is explicitly provided in the Premium Pack. The Scuba Pack describes a diving baptism experience for eligible participants. Reservations typically specify meeting points in Peniche and include guidance on what to bring. Safety protocols, departure details and fee requirements are provided at booking and should be reviewed before travel. Feeling Berlenga is featured on The Adventure Collective as a local operator connecting visitors in Peniche with natural attractions at Berlengas, presenting options for sightseeing, snorkeling and introductory scuba in the protected marine area. Booking information, schedules and specific pack inclusions are available through The Adventure Collective listing and directly from the operator at time of reservation before departure.
