We had a wonderful time exploring the islands. Seen some wildlife but not too much. Nice little self exploring tour.

Amazing day out and great value for money
An amazing day out and tremendous value for money. It felt more like a visit to the Maldives. Our captain for the day, Ivor, couldn't have been more helpful, and we will be back with our family when they visit next.

Thoroughly enjoyed! Just the right length trip for us. We were pleasantly surprised to see so many different species (in the teens) and our guide was wonderful at spotting and pointing out everything to us. He was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining.

Desert and Lighthouse Island
The boardwalk and return along the beach on Desert Island requires a brisk walk to be back at the boat on time.

A great connection with nature
A very enjoyable and informative experience. Luis was friendly and is clearly passionate about nature and the environment, not just reading from a script. Binoculars and telescope added to the experience. A+++++

Segway Tour from Faro.
Enjoy the scenery, birds and Jose’s knowledge and charismatic personality. Dress appropriately depending on weather - gets cool near the water this time of year (March).

Great trip with great guide.
We had a realy wonderful day, in no small part due to Miguel our guide. He was professional, informative, funny and safety conscious. He told us so much more about the Ria Formosa than we expected and he obviously loves his work. It was a great trip to gorgeous places!

A very interesting and enjoyable trip
Great trip, really convenient meeting point and the staff were very professional. We were directed to the boat to meet our captain who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the islands we would be visiting. We made three stops at very quiet, tranquil islands with very interesting communities. We saw a lot of wildlife and learned so much about the locations and history.
