Activity Details

At the designated time, we'll meet at Dr. César Oliveira de Fuzeta Avenue to board the boat for a cruise along the Ria Formosa.

We'll sail around the Ria Formosa Natural Park, admiring its fishing villages and wildlife. Over 20,000 birds can be found in this park. We'll try to spot some unusual species as we cruise.

The wetlands will lead us to the island of Armona, where you'll have half an hour of free time to explore. You can take a dip in the golden sandy beaches or try local cuisine.

Afterward, we'll reconvene back at the boat to continue sailing along the estuary. We'll learn about the importance of shellfishing as we pass by oyster farms.

Our boat tour of the Ría Formosa islands will conclude back at the original departure point after a total of 2 hours.
