Salt air and limestone caves. This Arrábida Kayak and Coasteering Adventure from Lisbon is a full-on day outside—kayak first, then sea caves, then optional cliff jumping, plus snorkeling in a marine reserve. What makes it feel special is the pace…

Wild dolphins off Lisbon sound simple. In practice, this small-group cruise is more like a moving science lesson, guided by a marine biologist, while you scan the Tagus for dolphins. You also get Lisbon’s big waterfront landmarks from a different…
