Sagres Discovery Tours is a tour operator based in Sagres, Faro, offering guided off-road and cultural excursions across the western Algarve. The company organizes a variety of experiences that include full-day and half-day itineraries, sunset outings and a dedicated wine-tasting off-road tour.
Trips visit regional highlights such as the Monchique mountains, Lagoa da Bravura, Cabo de S. Vicente, secret beaches inside natural parks and traditional mountain villages. Several experiences use 4x4 vehicles to reach remote viewpoints, hidden trails and coastal cliff-top locations that are not accessible by standard cars.
Key published itineraries include the full-day and half-day "Passeio 1 Dia - Monchique e lago da Bravura," featuring swims in the lagoon and a traditional mountain lunch; the full-day and half-day "Passeio - Costa Oeste" routes that explore Sagres, Cabo de S. Vicente and secret beaches with scenic cliff walks; the "Sunset Todo-O-Terreno na Costa Oeste," which reaches a cliff viewpoint about 130 meters high for sunset with local wine and snacks; and the "Wine Tasting Off-Road Tour," which combines vineyard tastings with off-road exploration.
Booking details, meeting points and specific inclusions are provided per tour. Sagres Discovery Tours focuses on providing organized, vehicle-supported access to the Algarve’s lesser-known natural and cultural sites for visitors seeking authentic local landscapes and experiences.
