Group Outings and Activities

GOLF - There are a number of golf courses which, unlike in Britain, are all open to visitors.

TENNIS - Tennis courts can be booked by the hour and prices are reasonable.  The climate allows for tennis and lawn bowling in the Algarve all year round and competitions are almost all open to visitors.

HORSE RIDING - Most of the horses used by various riding centres are at least part Lusitano, the famous sure-footed Portuguese breed. They are hardy, medium-sized horse of good temperament.  Their sure-footedness makes them ideal for riding either through the soft, sandy, coastal pinewoods or along stony trails in the hills.

ZOO - The largest zoo in the Algarve is north west of Lagos.  Like all modern zoos, the emphasis is on preservation and conservation.

JEEP SAFARIS - a popular if adventurous way to take an organised trip into the hinterland.  Passengers are taken to areas where indigenous flora and fauna are in abundance driving over hills and through valleys not usually found if travelling independently.

WALKING & CYCLING - A guided walking tour or a cycle ride are exhilarating ways to discover new places.

BOAT TRIPS - A must to see the spectacular coastline and over the past three years, dolphin-watching has exploded into a hugely popular industry.

WATER SPORTS - There is a huge variety including surfing, windsurfing and kayaking available all along the coast.
