A full day pairing Setúbal's fish market and historic center with a ferry crossing to Troia and a horseback ride through Comporta's protected dunes and pine forest, finishing on the open Atlantic sand. Private transport and guiding throughout.

Setúbal's Mercado do Livramento fish market and a 25-minute ferry crossing to Troia come before the horses reach Comporta. The ride itself moves through rice paddies, pine forest and dunes to the open Atlantic beach, paced by a specialist guide, no previous riding experience required. Travelers drawn to this one aren't chasing landmarks: they want the stretch between Setúbal's market and Comporta's tideline, where the itinerary turns into open reserve and the only way through is on horseback.

Highlights

  • Setúbal's Mercado do Livramento sells the day's catch each morning, a working fish market, not a stop built to look like one.

  • Cross to Troia by ferry, a 25-minute detour that turns the transfer into part of the experience.

  • Ride through a protected natural reserve most visitors never see beyond the road, rice paddies, pine forest and dune trail, all before the beach.

  • Reach Praia da Torre by horseback, the last stretch of a ride through protected dune terrain.

  • Private transportation from/to your Lisbon hotel

HOW IT RUNS

This is a two-part day, not one stop repeated twice, walking in Setúbal, then riding in Comporta, split by a ferry crossing instead of more time in the car. Yor local specialist guide handle the logistics, ferry timing, the ride, the return, so the pace just shifts, from walking to saddle, without you planning any of it.
