TRAVEL TO YOUR DESTINATION

In some cases you may choose to take a ferry and/or train to your holiday start and end destination. Please see further information on Travelling by Train.

If flying from the UK there are low cost airlines available to the start and from the end of your holiday.

To benefit from full financial protection, ease your holiday planning, and avoid dealing with airlines, we can book scheduled flights from the UK as part of a flight inclusive package. Scheduled flights are usually more expensive than low cost alternatives, however potentially less stressful if your flight is cancelled or delayed. If you book flights through KE Adventure Travel we will offset the carbon of your flight.

The group will meet at the accommodation near Sagres, Algarve.

A single transfer (1hr 30mins) is provided from Faro Airport to the accommodation at 12 midday of Day 1 the Land Only itinerary.

A money-saving tip is to fly on Friday and overnight in Faro, returning to the airport on Saturday for the transfer.

On the last day of the Land Only itinerary, there will be a single transfer to Faro Airport for flights departing at the earliest at approximately 1100.

There is a certain degree of flexibility with the transfer time depending on the best time for the flights of the group members, however everyone needs to leave the property by 1100.

Those with later departures can take this transfer and have lunch in Faro (5mins in a taxi), or take a trip to one of the islands. There is baggage storage at the airport.

Anyone may join the group transfers by prior arrangement. Travelling as a group or on public transport saves energy. If this is not practical, or you have an earlier flight, we can provide private transfers at an additional cost.


Hotel contact details and an emergency number will be provided with your booking confirmation.

All meals are included except for 1 lunch and 1 evening meal. This allows you to experience one of the local restaurants.

Water from the taps is perfectly drinkable on this holiday - please use this to fill your personal bottles for your daily activities. We do not encourage the purchase of single-use plastic bottles.

The food on this holiday which comes out of the kitchen of the accommodation is excellent. It is traditional, modern, tasty, homecooked and fabulous. Various plates and bowls of different foods are laid out and we help ourselves buffet style – which is always a hit for children.

Breakfast is always good with lots of options of bread, porridge, eggs, bacon and croissants. Lunch we take with us in picnic form and eat between activities. Dinner is a big affair and is always a highlight and is eaten on the big table on the breezy veranda. Dishes vary from chicken, curry, burgers, spag bol, tuna, sweetcorn, salads, On warm summer evenings we can sit around the African inspired fire pit, enjoying a seafood barbecue or a traditional Paella underneath the fabulous starlit sky. Another night we have pizzas made in the wood fired, hand built oven.

A note from your hosts: We love food; good food is one of our greatest pleasures in life. We believe that the better, the fresher, the more naturally produced the original products are, the higher the quality of the meals we serve. We strive to produce foods here on the farm that are in harmony with the environment; no pesticides or un-organic fertilisers. Planting our veggie garden is a labour of love, and the crunchy salad straight from the garden is credit to this. We believe local is great and it's this greatness we search for when we visit shops and markets and our own pantry to produce meals for our guests. Herbs, spices, fresh food and an inspiration to cook means that the food always goes down a hit. We cook delicately spiced meat dishes, exotic vegetarian meals, tasty vegan and gluten-free feasts - Violeta can make you something special, whatever your needs and desires. A tasty surprise for us this winter was the discovery that our farm produces an array of the most incredible edible mushrooms. Please inform us of any dietary requirements on booking.

Our private accommodation is run by family friendly hosts, who also have children of their own who participate in some of the activities. It is a sustainable farm of around 46 hectares, hidden away from the main stream and located close to the most south western point of Portugal (Cabo de San Vincente) in the Algarve. It is surrounded by rivers, dams, indigenous cork forest and mountains, and 5km from the beach. There is a large fresh water lake for swimming in. The levels in the lake will depend on rainfall, so it can sometimes be too low for swimming. The accommodation is off grid and is all electricity comes from solar power. The rooms only have 12V, enough for the lights. The main room has 220V for charging equipment.

In the main building there are a number of areas for relaxing in including the lounge with fireplace and cosy seating. Meals are taken in the dining area which has a large covered deck/veranda, getting the morning sun and is candle lit at night.

In addition to the main building, there are several individual buildings for accommodation, all set amongst the cork forest with hammocks slung between the trees and a variety of fruit trees and vines. There are 5-6 twin/double/triple and family en suite bedrooms. Please contact the KE office if you have specific rooming requirements. We try to ensure that everyone is happy with the rooming and will do our best to arrange this.

Your hosts at the accommodation will lead you on the majority of the activities. They are fully qualified leaders/instructors. Where necessary for certain activities you will have additional specialised instructors.

Approximately €250 per family (2 adults and 2 children) will be plenty for the non-included meals, miscellaneous expenses, tips, drinks, snacks, souvenirs etc. This figure does also not take into account optional activities or alcoholic beverages. Some wine is included with dinners and other drinks can be paid for directly at the end of the week. Cash can be withdrawn from ATMs at Faro Airport and locally. If you are intending to buy expensive souvenirs, you should budget accordingly (credit cards can be useful in this respect).

Optional Activities:

Please note that these prices are correct at time of writing, but are subject to change without warning. All prices are in Euro's. Optional activities taken outside the KE holiday are at your own risk.

Boat trip 1hr 30mins: €25 per adult, €20 per child 

Tipping is the accepted way of saying ‘thank you’ for good service. It is important to remember that tipping is voluntary and should be dependent on good service. We estimate around £10 per family member.

For this holiday you should take one piece of luggage and a daypack. Luggage with wheels is useful for this holiday. For international flights please check your baggage allowance with your airline.

For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in the ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
