- Fully qualified and friendly guide
Please be aware that as soon as your kid is not climbing anymore, you as a parent will have full responsibility for it, as the climbing guide will have to focus on the actively climbing person.
If you are just starting to climb, the guides will first go to a beginner-friendly rock to check if climbing the cliffs would lie within your comfort zone. If not, the guide will give you the needed hints to be ready for your first cliff climb.
The climbing equipment is included in the rock climbing trip. If you like to discover the cliffs by yourself, you can rent all the necessary equipment in ASA Algarve Sea Adventures' rental store.
