Bird Watching Details

The tour meets at the Faro port at the chosen time to board a solar energy-powered boat. This vessel is designed to explore the Formosa River while preserving the natural reserve.

During this trip, participants will explore the lagoons of the Algarve's protected area, looking for native wildlife. A variety of birds, including the white stork, egret, and spoonbill, can be observed. Binoculars are recommended.

As the boat approaches the islands of the Natural Park, discussions will include the clam and oyster nurseries, which are significant economic activities in the region. This area is also home to numerous species of aquatic birds.

The journey culminates at the point where the estuary meets the sea, providing a fitting conclusion to the solar boat trip along the Ria Formosa.

After two and a half hours enjoying the landscapes of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, the tour concludes as the boat returns to Faro port.
