Hockey Tour to Portugal
From £ 650
Per person, subject to availability
Sports tours to Portugal have grown immensely over the past few years, which is mainly due to the country’s diverse culture, stunning landscape, excellent weather, and a nation that is passionate about their sport!
Hockey is taken seriously in Portugal, and they play at a reasonably high level, allowing for a range of competitive fixtures and excellent training facilities in both Lisbon and Porto, which are the two main hockey regions.
Not only will you find a competitive club hockey scene played at both the junior and senior level for boys and girls, but you’ll find the culture and warm hospitality of the Portuguese people very inviting!
A short haul trip to Lisbon or Porto includes staying in 3 & 4* hotels on a HB basis, competitive hockey fixtures on water based/ hybrid turfs, plenty of free time on beautiful blue flag beaches in Cascais or Estoril, some stunning outdoor landscapes, surf lessons and some beautiful old cities steeped to marvel at.
