Atlantic Safaris

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

And all this, already 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 happens here: the >Nazaré Canyon, which gives its name to the town.

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

Speaking of surfing, the German Sebastian Steudtner managed to ride a wave of 26.21 meters in October 2020, the first human who was surfing a wave of 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 onlookers who come to see this furious, intense spectacle that generates different sensations increases. But these are not the only things that Nazaré has to offer. You will be amazed when you see the local women in the streets with flannel skirts of seven colors or with the exquisite dishes of the area.

And Atlantic Safaris settles here to take full advantage of the sea and the town itself. We provide an excellent service, ratified 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 kinds 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 the possibility of spotting dolphins in this part of the Portuguese coastline.

We are going to present to society, at least in Nazaré, in this picturesque town in the center of Portugal, one of the water activities that is causing a sensation wherever it goes, one of the biggest surprises in recent years for all that it represents and entails doing so.

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 come directly from a Spiderman scene, specifically those in which Doctor Octopus and It moves airily thanks to some tentacles, four specifically, 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 flyboarding, the practice that has revolutionized the way of conceiving water sports, with maximum peaks of adrenaline.

The flyboard represents the definitive boost to everything that had been done in the past, a mixture that takes advantage of, for example, disciplines such as parasailing with the benefits of water skiing or surfing. Let's recap so you know what you might be up against in a little while: it's 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 it is possible to reach heights of up to 15 meters above sea level or it can submerge the user up to 2.5 meters below the surface of the water. 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 theAtlantic, is the Nazaré Canyon, which results in the gigantic waves on the entire planet. For this reason, imagine for a moment that you are doing flyboard, you rise and, right in front of you, you have the incredible image that characterizes this region, that of a group of huge waves fighting each other to get ahead.

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

We have been defending it for quite some time, actually almost since the fever for doing it began: taking a jet ski is one of the greatest diversions 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 to take 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 to do it at a point on the coast where the scene changes radically.

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