About this experience
This is not a typical hike it is a private journey into a wild landscape just south of Lisbon, where nature, history, and spirituality meet. No crowds, no tourist paths only cliffs, ocean, and silence. We follow coastal trails to discover real dinosaur footprints preserved in the rock, over 160 million years old. You do not just see them, you stand where they once walked. For the more adventurous, there is an optional descent toward a hidden beach, adding a sense of discovery to the experience. The route is easy, around 3.3 km, suitable for most travelers, including families. No rush, just time to enjoy the moment. Cabo Espichel is also one of Portugal’s most important sacred sites. Along the way, I share stories while adapting the experience to your pace. A simple local tasting adds a memorable touch. Availability is limited, advance booking is recommended.

Excellent experience for kids!
We brought our 8 year old (dinosaur enthusiast) and 5 year old and they had the most amazing time actually sitting in real dinosaur footprints and having a snack right where the dinosaurs did millions of years ago. Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. She made it such a fun morning for the kids (and us). She even sent us restaurant recommendations and we ended up having one of the best meals of the trip. Thank you! Next time we will be back to explore the caves and tide pools.

MUST SEE...Dinosaurs on a Cliff and the Beauty of Portugal's Coastline
We had many incredible adventure with Natalia while in Portugal. One of which was from Setubal to Cabo Espichel and everything in between. It was a relaxing and well balanced day full of nature, history, and learning. It was very leisurely, no rush at all. We always moved at a relaxed pace in order to enjoy every moment. On this day, we saw the Sanctuary of Cabo Escichel, atop a cliff overlooking the ocean. From there we walked and saw dinosaur foot prints on the side of a cliff! They are actually quite visible and we were able to get some pretty awesome pictures. We had three days full of excitement with Natalia. She made out time in Portugal more memorable that we could have imagined. If that is what you desire, book with her. You wont regret it.

A Must-Do Lisbon Experience – The Dino Footprints Were Incredible! 🦕
Natasha was an amazing guide for our dinosaur footprint walking tour—easily one of the most unique and memorable experiences of our trip. The dinosaur footprints themselves are incredible and something we never would have found or fully appreciated on our own. Natasha made the experience by bringing them to life with her knowledge and storytelling, explaining the history and significance in a way that was both interesting and easy to follow. She was also fantastic to spend time with—friendly, fun, and engaging throughout the tour. Communication was seamless from the start, with clear confirmations beforehand, and she even took photos for us along the way, which we really appreciated. She also has great knowledge of the fauna of the area which was really interesting. If you’re in Lisbon and want to do something truly different, this tour with Natasha is 100% worth it. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m delighted to know this tour was one of the most memorable parts of your trip. The dinosaur footprints are truly special, and I’m so happy you enjoyed discovering their story, the local fauna, and the beauty of the area. Thank you as well for your kind words about my guiding. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you. Wishing you many more great adventures, and I hope to welcome you back to Portugal one day! Kindly, Natalia

First trip to portugal
I recently came home from a vacation with my girlfriend from Portugal. She had the great idea to hire a local tour guide and it definitely was worth it. The private walk away from the busy city of Lisbon was a great change of pace and scenery. Natalia was knowledgeable and personable, she answered all our questions about the area and the dinosaurs we had. She made us feel very welcome for our first trip to Portugal and we will be sure to hire her again on our return trip! 10/10!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure to be part of your first trip to Portugal and to share this special corner of nature with you both. I’m so happy you enjoyed the peaceful escape from Lisbon, the landscapes, and of course our prehistoric celebrities — the dinosaur footprints never fail to impress. Thank you as well for your kind words about my guiding. Curious and lovely guests like you make my work a joy. I’ll be very happy to welcome you back on your next visit to Portugal. Until then, safe travels and more 10/10 adventures ahead! Warm regards, Natalia

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Walk to Dinosaur Footprints Near Lisbon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Private Walk to Dinosaur Footprints Near Lisbon cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Walk to Dinosaur Footprints Near Lisbon take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Private Walk to Dinosaur Footprints Near Lisbon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Walk to Dinosaur Footprints Near Lisbon?
+
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 Private Walk to Dinosaur Footprints Near Lisbon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Walk to Dinosaur Footprints Near Lisbon?
+
Around 1 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 Lisbon 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 Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Walk to Dinosaur Footprints Near Lisbon 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 Lisbon 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 Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. 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 Lisbon?
+
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 Lisbon?
+
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.
