How Much Does an Arrábida Tour from Lisbon Cost?
Updated October 27, 2026 · 5 min read
Budget €40 to €58.50 per person for Arrábida; the price follows the length of the day and the activity, not the scenery. For most travellers, book the small-group Arrábida kayak tour from Lisbon or Sesimbra: €40, 4 hours, 4.9 stars from 542 reviews. Pay more only for a different kind of day, such as the €72 day trip with wine or the €65 coasteering adventure.

The €40 baseline
The cheapest and the dearest tour here are €32 apart. The €40 trip paddles from Sesimbra to Ribeiro do Cavalo in a small group, and the description says you either meet in Sesimbra or choose round-trip transport from Lisbon. That is a starting price: if you take the Lisbon transport, look at the total on the booking page before you compare it with the others.

What €19 more adds: time, not distance
The kayak tour with lunch costs €19 more than the €40 trip and fills 8 hours instead of 4. Its description promises coastal kayaking and a picnic on the beach, starting from Lisbon. If you want a day outdoors without arranging anything, that is fair pricing. If a morning on the water is enough, it is money for hours you will not use.
Why coasteering costs €25 more than the kayak
At €65, coasteering sits at the top for a 4-hour outing. You progress along a rocky shore between the tides by swimming, climbing, rappelling and jumping into the water. The description mentions no Lisbon pickup, so the price covers the activity at Sesimbra and not your journey there. Book it for the activity itself; as a way to see the park it is poor value next to the kayak trip.

The day trip: the most expensive, and the only one without paddling
At €72 the wine day trip is the dearest option and the only one built around a guided route rather than an activity of your own. It is guided from Lisbon and visits Arrábida Natural Park, Setúbal and Sesimbra, plus a wine estate and cellar with local wine to sample. The description does not mention a meal, so assume lunch is yours to pay for unless the booking page for your date says otherwise. The 4.8 rating from 433 reviews is a hair below the others, but it is the one to pick if paddling and climbing are not your idea of a holiday. Our comparison of Arrábida day trips goes through the alternatives.
Check availability for the Arrábida and Sesimbra day trip with wine
The €50 dolphin trip is the odd one out. It carries a marine biologist, fast-track boarding and an optional Lisbon transfer, and its stated duration runs from 2.5 to 7 hours, so the length you pay for depends on the variant you pick.
Which price to pay
The descriptions list no minimum ages, so families should read the conditions on each booking page before comparing prices. Our recommendation: pay the €40 for the small-group kayak tour. It has the most reviews, a 4.9 rating and the lowest fare. Step up to the €72 day trip only if paddling is not for you.
