Ria Formosa Boat Tour

At the agreed time, we'll meet at the port of Olhao, where we'll board a boat to start the cruise along the Ria Formosa. This region is recognized as one of the seven Natural Wonders of Portugal.

Aboard the boat, we will discuss the wetland's environmental characteristics, vegetation, and particularly its wildlife, known for its bird diversity.

The first stop will be at Farol Island, where we will have 45 minutes to visit the Cabo de Santa Maria Lighthouse, an iconic symbol of the Algarve.

Next, we will go to Culatra Island, with a 20-minute stop. Here, you can enjoy the tranquility and spend 2 hours exploring beaches, swimming, and sampling local gastronomy.

In summer, we will head to Armona Island, while in winter, we will visit Desierta Island. On either island, you will have 1 hour of free time to enjoy the natural scenery.

After 5 hours and 30 minutes of exploring the Ria Formosa, we’ll return you to the port of Olhao.
