The West Coast Adventure Co.

Hands-on, hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind adventures to the Algarve's wild West Coast and magical Costa Vicentina Natural Park. Hey there, traveler!
(56)

Since 2013, I have been crafting, refining & sharing my one-of-a-kind adventure experiences, one small batch at a time, with thousands of guests from around the world. My approach is unconventional:a

I choose wilderness & remoteness over guidebook tourist destinations; intentional, mindful travel over superficial sightseeing; discovery & learning opportunities over photo opportunities; and rustic

, physical experiences over easy, mass-market ones. My aim is simple & sincere:

To share a travel experience that's not just fun, but meaningful; not just good for us, but for the world; not just a social-media moment, but a memory for life. My tours are expressions of my personal passions, values, & vision of this special little place on Earth. I'd love to share it with you!

The Algarve’s famous South coast is known for its caves, sea stacks, and rock arches. But we have a few hidden gems out here on the West coast, too. What makes them even more special is that, well, no one else knows about them. There are no crowds of boats, kayaks, and paddle boarders, no tour busses, no fences or signs.

Photo from a recent West Coast Adventure that took us hiking straight over one of my favorite, and most secret, rock arches in the Algarve.

As Spring ends, Summer love is in the air! Swimming season has begun.

The water on the Algarve’s West Coast is never warm — this is the open Atlantic, not the Med — but on summer days, after a few hours of hiking, nothing feels better than a revitalizing dip in the sea.

With a little effort and know-how, we can find our own private secluded beach to do it, something that’s only possible in the Algarve on the wild West coast.

Spring in the Algarve starts early: mid-December, really. Sorry, northerners.

From then until April, the landscape here gets ever greener, lusher, and more colorful, until it is exploding with life and color, a riot of wildflowers, vegetation, and happy birds and bees.

Spring has definitely ended, and we are now diving headlong into the Algarve’s main season: Our long, sunny, dry summer.

As the colors fade from the landscape, I wanted to give a shout-out and some major gratitude to the “primavera”. Thanks, Spring, you were great. Can’t wait to see you again next year.

Rainbows are formed when light refracts…. wait wait, no, T.J., stop. That’s unnecessary.

Let’s try again:

Behold! A rainbow.

Pic 1: Throwback to October 2019, featuring “Mo” (500,000km and counting).

Pic 2: Last week, featuring “Larry” (300,000km and counting).

I have now rainbow-christened both of my vans the West coast.

Have a colorful week.
