What the day feels like
What the evening feels like
The four-hour private outing moves at the pace of light. After meeting at a chosen pickup point, your guide steers the 4×4 toward whichever ridge, peak or coast offers the cleanest western horizon. Plans shift with weather — mountain-top views above the clouds one night, a windswept coastal promontory the next — and the finale is always the same: wine and a charcuterie board as the Atlantic swallows the sun.
