Ria Formosa Sunset Cruise

At 5.30 pm, we'll meet at the port of Olhao to start this boat trip along the Ria Formosa at sunset. We'll tour one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Portugal as we see the sun set over the horizon.

During the tour, we will discuss the special characteristics of this significant wetland in the Algarve region. We will explore the environmental features while observing the contrast between the dark blue ocean and the clear waters of the estuary.

We will also talk about its flora and the area's remarkable wildlife, particularly its bird diversity. Keep an eye out for the chance to see some of the resident birds.

Before concluding the boat trip, we will stop for 40 minutes at Culatra, followed by a similar duration at Praia Deserta, known as the best beach in the Algarve and accessible only by boat. We will continue our cruise around the island of Armona while enjoying a refreshing drink. The grand finale will be the wonderful sunset view on the Ria Formosa from the boat.

Finally, we will return to the port of Olhao after a two-and-a-half hour cruise along the Ria Formosa.
