Ria Formosa Bird Watching

At the indicated time we'll meet at Avenida Dr. César Oliveira, in Fuzeta, where a boat will be ready for us to enter the Ria Formosa Natural Park.

Once the tide is low, we'll cruise through this natural reserve in search of the different species of birds that inhabit the area, both native and migratory.

This area regularly hosts over 20,000 water birds, especially in winter. In just two hours, we'll observe more than 200 different species from a close range. During the trip, a marine biologist will provide explanations to help us identify the birds in the Ria Formosa.

This adventure will also allow us to admire rare species unique to this part of Portugal, such as the Purple Swamp-hen and the Little Bittern.

The activity will conclude by returning to the starting point after 2 hours.
