Ria Formosa - Boat trip to the 3 Islands: Armona | Culatra Island | Lighthouse

Pioneer54704314232, Nov 2026

Great way to know Ria Formosa

Excellent experience, we had a fantastic day, I highly recommend it. It's a great way to get to know the islands, the restaurant on Culatra island had a divine sea bass. The best part of the trip was the time to dive in the connection between Armona Island and Culatra Island, the water is paradise.

Cliff jumping with Arthur

We had a brilliant day with Arthur. Everything was super smooth from the convenient pick up and great driving to the perfect pace of the walk with enough time to really enjoy seeing the stunning sites along the way. Bonus points for great playlist, super fun cliff jumping and chatting! Don't hesitate to book.

Small Group Tour of Benagil Caves from Portimao

841annekes, Oct 2026

Great experience, highly recommended

What a wonderful experience this was. You have to be on time in Portimao, there is a bus camper where you sign up yourself. Then you get a life jacket. and your name is called and you are grouped and put in order. Then you follow the guide to the boat. We were almost in the front. The guide told in different languages what there was to see along the coastline. He made jokes and photos of his "guests" The water was a bit rough, so it sometimes splashed nicely on the waves, because the speed was also good. Because of that, we unfortunately couldn't sail into the Benagil cave, which was a shame, but it didn't make the trip any less spectacular and fantastic. This is really recommended

Christiane_A, Oct 2026

Best experience ever ....

We booked the trip to the caves and had an unforgettable experience! Tommy is a cheerful and safe captain and Melanie is the perfect "tour guide" and spreads good cheer.....hopefully we will be lucky enough to go out with her next time!!!! Renew the contract before another provider poaches Melanie 😉

Kayak Benagil Cave with 1st kayak tour company

Dan_B, Oct 2026

Great time @ Bengegil caves

The lads here were professional and fun. My daughter & I really enjoyed the 2hr cave tour via kayak. Factor in €3.50 for parking, if you end up driving past the 1st one, down to the beach and back up the hill you'll hit another car park which is €5.00; if you're lucky, you'll find a spot on the road for free! Park in the 1st car park and the office is down the little lane on the left hand corner as it dips down to the beach. Highly recommended & would do it again. Dry bag and safety jacket provided.

Half-Day Algarve Countryside and Villages Jeep Safari

deirdre_m, Oct 2026

Rui Rules!!!

This was an absolutely amazing activity, if I could give 10 stars I would! Our guide Rui was out of this world he definitely deserves a pay rise!! Showed us so many wonderful places and took fab photos of the 3 different groups in our jeep which I thought was a lovely touch! Extremely well worth the money but be prepared to be covered in bruises on your arms from hitting the sides of the jeep when rui takes you off off road!!!!! Would definitely do this again but Rui has to be our guide!

4 Stops | 3 Islands & Ria Formosa Natural Park - From Faro

Monsieur-Voyageurr, Oct 2026

Exceptional

Superb 5-hour boat trip with stops at Ilha Deserta, Farol Island, and Culatra Island, not to mention a very nice break at the oyster farms. At each stop, we were able to swim and admire the fish! A big thank you to Pedro, our guide: perfect French, lots of humor, super kind, and always available to answer questions. We had a fantastic time, it's well worth the price, you can book it with your eyes closed. We will do this excursion again without hesitation if we are back in the area!

Full Day Jeep Safari in Algarve

Get to know the interior of the Algarve.

Everything was very good, even the jeep, which although a bit old, gave it a more authentic touch of adventure. The swims we took were very appropriate for the safari. I will recommend it to several friends and acquaintances. Hugo, the driver, was the best, unsurpassable. Great recognition for his work.

Must do tour in Portugal!!

This full-day tour was one of the highlights of my time in Portugal, made even more special by our wonderful guide, Mario. His knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm brought every destination to life and gave us a much deeper appreciation for the regions we visited. My personal highlights were the breathtaking views at Cape St. Vincent, the southwesternmost point of Europe, and the charming town of Lagos. I am so grateful for this experience and would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portugal.

Must Do Experience in Portugal

Just incredible place to visit while you are in Portugal. Well organized tour. Not recommended for those who have a hard time walking on uneven surfaces and there is a little climbing and trekking along the coast but very much worth it. The water was a bit chilly at the beach. I recommend going in late May or June if you want to swim. Guides and Driver was great.
