Baia de Setubal — Sado ferry crossing
Short scenic ferry over the Sado estuary — dolphins are sometimes spotted on the way across.

Cross the Sado by ferry to the Roman ruins of Tróia, then Comporta's stilt pier, Atlantic beaches and a Herdade da Comporta tasting.
A quiet day in the Alentejo most visitors miss. We board the ferry across the Sado to the Roman Ruins of Tróia, pause at the Carrasqueira stilt pier, then drift down to Comporta — long Atlantic beaches, rice paddies, white-and-blue villages — with a wine tasting at Herdade da Comporta. Lunch is not included, so the pace stays yours.

The day felt like Portugal slowed down
We didn't really know what to expect from Troia and Comporta, but this tour turned out to be one of the most distinctive days of our trip. What made it special was the feeling of space and calm.

A hidden gem completely different from Lisbon
This tour was one of the most unexpected highlights of our trip. We had seen Lisbon and some of the more popular areas around it, but Troia and Comporta were exceptional.
