Ria Formosa Boat Tour

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the port of Olhao, where we'll board a boat to start the cruise along the Ria Formosa.

Aboard the boat, we'll discuss this wetland in the Algarve region, its environmental characteristics, vegetation, and wildlife, particularly its bird diversity.

The first stop will be at Farol Island, where you'll have 45 minutes of free time to visit the Cabo de Santa Maria Lighthouse.

Next, we'll head to Culatra Island, and you'll have 20 minutes to explore this old fishing village. You'll be able to spend 2 hours here enjoying the beaches, swimming, and sampling the local gastronomy.

In summer, we'll proceed to Armona Island; in winter, we will visit Desierta Island. You will have 1 hour of free time on either island to enjoy their natural scenery.

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