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 while observing the sun setting over the horizon.

During the tour, we will discuss the significant characteristics of this wetland in the Algarve region. Important environmental features will be highlighted, and we will observe the contrast between the dark blue ocean and the clear water of the estuary.

The area is known for its bird diversity, so keep an eye out for various species during the cruise.

Before concluding the boat trip, we will make a 40-minute stop at Culatra, followed by a visit to Praia Deserta for approximately the same duration. This beach is only accessible by boat and is considered one of the best in the Algarve. The cruise will also pass the island of Armona, where participants can enjoy a refreshing drink.

The tour will conclude with a stunning sunset view over the Ria Formosa from the boat before returning to the port of Olhao after a two-and-a-half hour cruise.
