Boat trips along Ria Formosa in Faro

  We experienced a fantastic 'Nature tour' in September 2022. Received a fair and good explanation when ordering the tour (which was not always correct with other organizations). Nothing was too... read more much, they didn't even look at the time. Everything went very smoothly. Both the captain and the lady who gave the explanation were super friendly. They let us enjoy the tour. We recommend it to everyone. We promised the captain when we were back in Belgium that we would post a message, it has become a little later than planned, but the promise has been fulfilled.

  Amazing experience, we saw dolphins! The host was so nice & educated. Saw loads of different species of birds and their habitats. Also had lots of time to chill on... read more the islands. It was great as a solo activity too.

  We were hoping to have more opportunities to see wildlife and birds up close. The salt marshes are an interesting ecological area, with lots of wildlife and opportunities to... read more learn about how they function. However, we didn't feel that we learned that much, and saw very few birds or other sea life. Binoculars would have made a difference, as sights were often far away. Driver did point out some wildlife, but from distances it was difficult to make them out. Time on Deserta Island was disappointing - not many birds in sight, and boardwalk needs some repair. Lovely beach on Farol Island. Seemed that there was a surplus of free time, when we expected more hand's on info to be provided. That being said, we enjoyed the time on the water and seeing the change in the tidal waters.

  It's was a fantastic tour, very informative and stopped off on a couple of lovely islands! Would definitely do again and recommend to anyone.

  Amazing family trip with exceptional guidance. Beautiful sights + amazing knowledge about all fauna and flora. Kids loved it!!!

  Great trip but quite pricy for what you end up getting, would not do it again.
The time we spent in the actual islands was not enough.
The captain and... read more staff were knowledgeable and shared a lot of great info, but I would honestly get a hop on hop off sort of deal for at least 6-7 hours

  I went on the morning dolphin tour and it was wonderful.
The boat was comfortable and not overcrowded, the staff were fluent in four languages and ensured everyone understood. They... read more were very knowledgeable about the local area and wildlife. We saw two different species of dolphins, they weren’t shy and came really close up to the boat.

Genuinely wonderful experience, and very relaxing. Thanks to Carlos and Melinda!

  “Mama, this is the best day of my life” said my 9 year old daughter.

Carlos took us out on the dolphin trip, we weren’t sure that we... read more would spot any initially. The speedboat was very fun, but also peaceful and calming.

Carlos and Gustavo were brilliant, so friendly and you feel they genuinely care about the marine life, this is their life! We managed to see a few different pods, such beautiful creatures in their natural environment. We’ve been traveling with our kids for over a month but this boat trip was an absolute highlight that we will remember forever.

Just book it, you won’t regret it
