Atlantic Safaris

That Nazaré is one of the most authentic villages in Portugal, there is no doubt about it, none in fact. It is a small municipality belonging to the Central region, located in the Leiria District, which combines the tradition of the Portuguese villages (in terms of customs, cultural values, gastronomy or architecture) with kilometers of fine golden sand.

And all this, in itself, is a huge claim. But what most attracts the attention of the tourist who comes to visit it, apart from its picturesque practices, of which we will now briefly comment on what they consist of, is a rarity of nature that occurs here: the >Nazaré Canyon, which gives its name to the town.

Let's explain it. It is an submarine canyon, an oceanic peculiarity, very close to the coast, which produces what are considered the highest waves in the world. Precisely, those that form in Praia do Norte appear in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest ever surfed.

Speaking of surf, the German Sebastian Steudtner managed to ride a 26.21 meter wave in October 2020, the first human who was surfing a wave with similar characteristics. It is not surprising, then, that Nazaré sees its population grow exponentially during the summer months or when a competition related to surfing is held.

Every year, the number of curious people who come to watch this furious, intense spectacle that generates different sensations increases. But they are not the only things that Nazaré has to offer. You will be amazed when you see the local women in the streets wearing seven-color flannel skirts or with the exquisite local dishes.

And Atlantic Safaris is based here to take advantage of all the advantages of the sea and the town itself. We provide excellent service, confirmed by the hundreds of opinions that our satisfied customers leave us on the Internet. But what can we find if we decide to hire something with Atlantic Safaris?

We also mentioned that Atlantic Safaris is an active tourism company that takes advantage of the environment to provide all types of activities related to water, in an incomparable setting like the one that this area of the Atlantic Ocean gives us. Now, we are going to focus on one of them, specifically on the possibility of sighting dolphins in this part of the Portuguese coast.

We are going to present in society, at least in Nazaré, in this picturesque town in central Portugal, one of the aquatic activities which is causing a sensation wherever it goes, one of the biggest surprises in recent years for everything it represents and what it entails to do.

While we tell you what it consists of, you will think, for a moment, that it is some device from the future to alter the present time or that it has directly come out of a scene from Spiderman, specifically those in which Doctor Octopus makes his appearance and It moves aerially thanks to tentacles, four in particular, that emerge from its back.

But, here, the difference is that the union of the gigantic tube with our body occurs through the feet, in particular through of special boots. What are we talking about? We are referring to flyboard, the practice that has revolutionized the way of conceiving water sports, with maximum peaks of adrenaline.

Flyboarding represents the definitive push to everything that had been done in the past, a mix that takes advantage of, for example, disciplines such as parasailing with the benefits of water skiing or surfing. Let's recap so that you know what you may face shortly: it is a hoverboard connected by a long hose to a jet ski .

It is the jet ski that produces the pressure of the water, which generates a jet that propels the pilot towards above. With the flyboard you can reach heights of up to 15 meters above sea level or it can submerge the user up to 2.5 meters below the water surface. But what makes hiring it with Atlantic Safaris Flyboard special is the following.

In case you were not aware of it, on the coast of this municipality, in the middle of the Atlantic, is the Nazaré Canyon, which results in the most gigantic waveson the entire planet. For this reason, imagine for a moment that you are flyboarding, you rise up and, right in front of you, you have the incredible image that characterizes this region, that of a group of enormous waves fighting against each other to get ahead. .

For this reason alone it is worth it, but flyboarding is also extremely fun. Do you need more excuses?

We have been defending it for quite some time, in fact almost since the fever to do it began: taking a jet ski is one of the greatest funs you can find, it doesn't matter. that you are the ones who drive it or that you go as companions, in the event that it is a two-seater in the back.

Of course, although it is necessary to point it out, it is not the same as taking a tour in the open sea on a jet ski, in which the images that unfold around us are those of kilometers and kilometers of water, with no other incentive than doing it at a point on the coast where the picture changes radically.

The circuits that gain the most from riding a jet ski are the latter, since we will have the opportunity to glimpse other geographical accidents, other land formations that emerge from the water, the beach itself from afar or other architectural constructions of interest. It is clear, without debate, there are some areas that are more suitable than others when it comes to renting a motorcycle, even within the same place.

That is precisely what happens when we spell Nazaré in the search engine. We will be left with a checkered face when we begin to discover all the attractions that this beautiful town in central Portugal has in store for us, one of the most picturesque in the region. For this reason, at Atlantic Safaris Jet Skis we conveniently believed that it was time to offer this activity.

And to provide this service specifically here, to take advantage of all the advantages that the Nazaré coast has.
