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 admire the sun go down over the horizon.

During the tour, we'll discuss the significant characteristics of this wetland in the Algarve region. This includes the environmental features and the spectacular contrast between the dark blue ocean and the clear estuary waters.

We will address its flora and highlight the remarkable wildlife, particularly the area's bird diversity. Keep an eye out, as you may see some of the local birds.

Before concluding the trip, we will stop for 40 minutes at Culatra and then visit Praia Deserta for a similar duration, the best beach in the Algarve, accessible only by boat. The cruise will continue near the island of Armona while we enjoy a refreshing drink, culminating in a view of the sunset over the Ria Formosa.

The tour will conclude with our return to the port of Olhao after a two-and-a-half hour cruise along the Ria Formosa.
