- The programme includes more than 160 nature activities.
- Booking, age, price and weather conditions vary by activity.
A migration-season programme across the area
Sagres is a major autumn migration point, and the programme combines birdwatching with marine, landscape, photography, science and children's activities. Events take place at different meeting points rather than one single venue.
A listed activity is not the same as a guaranteed place. Boat trips and outdoor sessions can also change with sea and weather conditions.
Build the day around one confirmed activity
Check the official programme, register where required and note the meeting point and equipment advice. Allow driving and parking time because activities are spread around the Sagres area.
Bring water, sun and wind protection, and use footwear suited to the route. Follow guides and protected-area rules rather than approaching wildlife for a photograph.
