10 Photography Tours in Algarve That You Shouldn't Miss

September 27, 2021 Harland Bartelt

The Algarve's sunny shores offer perfect escapes for all types, from those seeking the hot nightlife of flashy, energetic Lagos to those desiring secluded stays in rambling Sagres. Portugal's most southerly region offers historical attractions in former Moorish capital Silves and fascinating Tavira, great golf, fabulous beaches from Praia da Luz to Armacao de Pera, thermal springs at Caldas de Monchique, and miles of limestone caves and grottoes, cliffs and bays along its rugged coastline.

This is a pioneering project that emerged, in 2019, out of our passion for this mountainous area of the Algarve. The two wheels are undoubtedly the best way to explore this region as we can explore all the senses while absorbing its natural beauty. Photo stops, free tastings and explanation of methods and traditions. Standard, private and private group tours are available. Scooters and motorcycles are not provided, you can rent or bring your own motorbike.

Inclusions: Guided tour

We did the half day Jeep Safari to Monchique and had a fantastic time. Pedro our guide was very informative and knowledgeable and was obviously extremely passionate about the Portuguese traditions etc. We saw some stunning scenery with fantastic views for photo opportunities (Pedro took a fair few photos-many unbeknown to us-and sent them to us the same evening!). Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this trip. Next time we’ll do the full day tour. Thanks Pedro.

Flew with Nelson at the end of December and was simply amazing. I felt pretty safe with the pilot, the gear and the team checking all. The fly was absolutely perfect, both chill and adrenalinic with a stunning view over the cliff and the two coasts - I was hearing the ocean while flying. Wish I can do this again soon.

Sometimes there are over 4,000 people in one of the windiest places on the West Coast... That´s not that kind of sunset we present ... we want to provide much better. The place where we choose to make our sunset is unique !! The cliffs are double the height of Cape St..Vicente ...Most of the time, it’s only us with our customers that are there!!

Inclusions: Pick-up and drop-off all hotels between Lagos and Sagres

We booked this fantastic 4x4 tour in October. We were met by Carlos, who was so enthusiastic about our day out. He very quickly realised that we were on for a full day off proper off-roading. We made our way to the Monchique mountains and Bravura lake. The country side was beautiful and Carlos was able to explain the landscape and trees and fauna to us. We really were off the beaten track. He organised a great lunch at a typical Portuguese restaurant where we sampled a traditional dish. We also stopped at a lovely village for an espresso and wander round. To finish off our amazing day we made our way to the coast to look down on the dramatic waves of the Atlantic. If we had been in Sagres longer we would definitely have booked another trip with Carlos. Although we were only in Sagres for 3 days we really felt like we had discovered proper Portugal. But there is no doubt that Carlos made our adventure really special and we were so pleased that he was our driver that day! Thank you so much Carlos. The Young Family

We went on the tour on a cloudy day. Our guide was Victor, who seemed to know everyone! There were nobody else so we basicly had a private guided tour. The pick up was at our hotel at 09.30 and started with a trip to different beaches and places nearby, while we were waiting for the first wineyard to open. We got a lot of history about everything! Next stop a local honey-maker. A lot of fog on the top of the mountain, so no view. Stopped at a small local restaurant for lunch, then went to the last wineyard. Thank you, Victor!

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.
