Nice tour with Phillipe
tour guide Phillipe was very good. Gave a constant but not intrusive narration of what we were seeing. Informative & good natured - we got more than an hour of quiet sailing and wildlife sights.

Brilliant
Great tour of the Ria Formosa with Victor Hugo as a fantastic guide. The communication before the tour was brilliant and direct with WhatsApp.

I travel with my husband...
I travel with my husband and we find that a little boring, I was expecting to see more of nature like a parks. Lighthouse was closed to go inside, and a lot other places restaurants and coffee shop were closed down to National holiday. We did enjoy boathouse ride, and we had great captain Ivan.
We had delicious lunch on our second stop Fisherman island.
I don’t think it’s worth the money

Excellent trip
This is a small group trip with comfy seating and shade on the boat, knowledgable and friendly captain, super customer service from the ticket office.
Plenty of time on lighthouse island for lunch at the restaurant recommended by captain, delicious food and drink.
Bring water, sun hat and screen.

Amazing tour and small town to explore
Our tour guide, Carla, was incredibly kind and fun to hang out with and have her as company. She shared super interesting bits of information of the area, from the best cafes to historic importance. The islands were truly magnificent, blue ocean and the most mesmerizing sand banks. Highly recommend!!
