PRIVATE ALGARVE ADVENTURE TOURS FOR RETREATS, TEAMS & GROUPS

A meaningful, handcrafted experience — made just for your group

Looking for something different for your group? I design custom Algarve adventures that go far beyond the typical tourist trail.

 

This is not another bus tour: This is:

 

  • Into-the-wild hiking

  • Moments of stillness and connection

  • Stories that bring the land to life

  • Shared laughter and movement

  • A cliffside feast of Algarvian tapas & wine at sunset

​

With 12+ years of guiding experience and trusted by retreat leaders, corporate teams, and travel organizers around the world, every detail—from route choice to dinner menu—is crafted with care.

 

No crowds. No copy-paste itineraries. Just your own private adventure: immersive, memorable, and truly one-of-a-kind.

Events & Celebrations

Because big moments deserve big landscapes. Birthdays, reunions, bachelor/ette trips—let’s make it memorable with movement in nature.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS EXPERIENCE

And your group will, too

Unique, Immersive Itineraries

Skip the crowds & tourist traps: I’ll lead your group into the Algarve's most untouched corners, places chosen for their beauty, solitude, and sense of discovery—so it feels like a real adventure, not just a tour.​

Tailored to Your Vision

No templates here. Your experience is shaped around your group’s energy, goals, and vibe — whether you want something gentle, challenging, reflective, playful, or a mix of it all.

Memorable Touches

From a shared clifftop feast to stories that bring the land alive, from laughter to quiet moments that ground us, this is more than a hike — it’s a full-sensory day your group will carry home.

​Expertly Guided & Stress-Free

With 12+ years of local guiding experience, I handle all planning, logistics, safety, and route design. You just bring your group, I'll handle the rest.

WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING

Real words from the people who trust me year after year

"I’ve booked three custom tours with T.J and just booked a 4th for my next retreat.

 

My groups all agree: Our day with T.J. is the absolute highlight of our trip to the Algarve. He creates a personalized experience, tailoring every detail to fit the needs and abilities of the group.

 

T.J. is warm, funny, and a fantastic storyteller. If you’re looking for a truly special experience, I highly recommend spending a day with T.J.

 

It’s an adventure that may just become one of the highlights of your life!

T.J. is the reason I bring my retreats to Lagos, full stop. That is the ultimate compliment.

 

T.J. makes the whole experience feel seamless, immersive, and deeply personal. The tour itself is like a journey that makes you feel part of something bigger. Absolutely unforgettable.

 

And it’s not just me—I hear the same thing from every one of my guests. T.J.’s communication, attention to detail, and passion for what he does make him incredibly easy to work with.

 

You simply won’t get this experience with anyone else. 10 out of 10. Highly, highly recommend.

"T.J. is simply the best! Every time we work with him, he exceeds our expectations.

 

T.J. makes every hike a rich natural, cultural and historical experience. His deep understanding of the region, combined with his passion for sharing it, adds so much value to our retreats.

 

What truly sets T.J. apart is the way he balances challenge and reward—pushing us just enough,  while ensuring the experience remains enjoyable and fulfilling.

 

Our retreat guests rave about him. It's a truly unforgettable experience!

Every year, I am impressed by his ability to create hikes that are challenging, exhilarating, yet encouraging for all abilities

 

His vast local knowledge make each hike unique and educational. 

​​

T.J. proves to be not just a great hiking guide, but an exceptional host, with the most memorable picnic ever!

 

I can't wait to share this adventure again with my future guests!
