About this experience
You will discover the forest and nature at the "Serras do Porto" park. Leave the noise and stress of the city behind and enter in a natural park where you can hike in the mountains, just beside river, cross suspended bridges and visit ancient villages inhabited by only 5 people. In this perfect bucolic landscapes we will stop for a picnic with traditional products, cheese, fruit, and beverage, including local wine if desired. During the walk it's usual to see the shepherd and his sheep. Feel embraced by the nature, this peaceful place where you only hear the relaxing sound of the river and the birds! Don't forget to bring your camera as you will take amazing photos.

Charged for the same holiday twice
Do not book with love holidays. The worst ‘trav[ company ever. You can’t only engage with machines that do not solve any complaints or results all they want is your money if you do not agree with them they instruct debt collectors to do the job for them disgraceful should not be allowed to.

Missed your
We unfortunately did not get to enjoy this encounter. We showed up to the meeting spot but were never able to find the tour operator or contact them after multiple attempts by us and Viator support. We hope they are ok! We are disappointed as it had been planned as part of my husband's 50th birthday celebration.

Great Experience!
This hike was so beautiful, and Ricardo and Shy made it even more memorable! As a solo traveler, finding activities that only require one person are hard to come by, but I'm glad I found this one.

Serra do Porto
Nice train ride into the country with Ricardo and Shy. Hike modified for us - really relaxing with nice picnic included. Being next to streams and thru small village made our morning complete.

Amazing
Perfect way to get out of the city and enjoy the nature of Portugal. And the dog Shy was a perfect added bonus!!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half-day Hike & Picnic with Dog Love in Porto's Mountains: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does Half-day Hike & Picnic with Dog Love in Porto's Mountains cost?
+
Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half-day Hike & Picnic with Dog Love in Porto's Mountains take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Porto is not rushed.
Is Half-day Hike & Picnic with Dog Love in Porto's Mountains worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 136 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half-day Hike & Picnic with Dog Love in Porto's Mountains?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half-day Hike & Picnic with Dog Love in Porto's Mountains suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-day Hike & Picnic with Dog Love in Porto's Mountains?
+
Around 48 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Porto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-day Hike & Picnic with Dog Love in Porto's Mountains start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Porto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Porto?
+
On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Porto's #1 Walking Tour, Small Group Geres National Park Full Day with picnic from Porto. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Porto?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Porto?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
