Ria Formosa Sunset Cruise

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

During the tour, we'll discuss the characteristics of this significant wetland in the Algarve region, exploring its environmental features and the contrast between the dark blue ocean and the clear estuary water.

We'll highlight the area's flora and its remarkable wildlife diversity, particularly its bird diversity. Participants should be attentive as there may be opportunities to spot various bird species.

Before concluding the boat trip, we'll stop for 40 minutes at Culatra and then proceed to Praia Deserta for a similar duration. This beach, known for its accessibility by boat, is frequently regarded as the best beach in the Algarve. We'll continue the cruise along the island of Armona with a refreshing drink in hand. The tour culminates in a view of the wonderful sunset on the Ria Formosa from the boat.

We'll finish the tour by returning to the port of Olhao after a two-and-a-half hour cruise along the Ria Formosa.
