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.

Fantastic experience!
The experience was excellent! Guides were knowledgeable scientists and valued safety and ethics for the passengers and the dolphins. My only problem was that the seats were very uncomfortable. After so much time, it genuinely hurt. And they were very close together, so I imagine for bigger people, this tour may be almost impossible to do:( But we got some really incredible, closeup views of the dolphins (one was so close it even splashed us)! We saw common and bottlenose dolphins; they swam under and around the boat and it was just beautiful! Definitely wear a high SPF sunscreen because that ocean sun will burn you

Joao was probably the...
Joao was probably the best tour guide we’ve ever had. His knowledge passion excitement was very evident from the moment we were picked up all the way till he dropped us off. Seeing in person the incredible views of the Benagil Cliffs and Caves by itself is a incredible experience - having it shown through his eyes and knowledge was truly fantastic!

Relaxing sunset tour with beautiful views
We had a pleasant evening on this sunset tour. The sunset was beautiful, and the guide gave us a very good introduction to the Ria Formosa Natural Park, including the local environment and nature in the area.
The tour is quite relaxed and slow-paced, so it may not be the most exciting activity if you are looking for something more action-packed, but that is really just the nature of this type of tour rather than a criticism. Everything was well organised, the scenery was lovely, and overall there was very little to fault. A nice and peaceful way to spend an evening in Faro.

I loved that the day...
I loved that the day included a little bit of everything. We hiked along the cliffs with incredible panoramic views, explored the rock formations and hidden areas around Algar Seco, and had time to relax, swim and enjoy the beach. There were so many beautiful photo stops along the way that I basically came home with an entire Algarve photoshoot. 😂
The Seven Hanging Valleys portion does involve walking and some uneven terrain, so wear good sneakers and bring water, especially during the summer. Definitely bring a swimsuit too because getting into that gorgeous water after hiking was one of the best parts.

The best afternoon! Worth every penny !
I took my twin 5 year old grandsons who absolutely loved it ! The whole experience was fabulous and the guide ,( I can’t remember his name sadly) was wonderful and made the experience even better, such good value . And we will definitely be going again!

Definitely a great way to get out on the water in Olhao
The boat was very nice and it was a small group of 12 people. I went in the 15:45 which was great because we got to watch sunset on the way back to the port. Loved visiting the 3 islands. Each one was different and had interesting vibes. Also plenty of opportunities to swim. Claudio and Sergio were our captains and guides. They were very fun, had a wealth of knowledge and made us feel very safe.

Diogo was wonderful
It was a wonderful boat ride to the islands. Diogo was very nice and polite. He talked a little bit about fiddler crabs, sea horses and some of the birds and the ecosystem around the islands. It was not an in depth discussion but that was okay for us. The Deserta Island was wonderful. We were able to swim/walk to one of the other islands. My 13 year old loved that. We got some ice cream and walked around Farol Island. For us we would have enjoyed spending more time at Deserta Island and less time at Farol Island. Overall it was a lovely trip.

Book to see the real Portugal 🇵🇹
I booked this trip through Viator, my daughter & I wanted to explore some of the countryside in the evening. 🇵🇹☀️.
We met our driver close to our hotel which was excellent !✨He was very friendly & funny from start to end! He gave us lots of information along the way!✨
The Algarve is beautiful! We passed through a few villages, and our first stop was at a farm. We got to see peacocks, ducks, geese, chickens, goats, a pig & horse! 🦚🦆🐓🐐🐖🐴 We also got to taste honey, jams & ‘fire water’. So many drops are growing on this farm, it was really lovely. 🌱🌳🌶️
Our second stop was at a ‘custard pie factory’, but due to the time of our trip they’d sold out! 🤩 We had lemon meringue pie & cake which was so good.🍰🍥
Our next stop was at the ‘“Queda de agua do vigario” waterfall! 🌱💦 There are many steps down, but so worth it! Beautiful.
Finally we went up into the mountains to watch the sun set at Messines. 🌅 Here you have 360 degrees view of the surrounding countryside! The sunset spot itself is beautiful!
I definitely recommend you go on this trip, it’s super good value for money & I feel you get to see the ‘real’ Portugal, a must see! ❤️🇵🇹

Good value and good fun.
A great day visiting parts of the huge Rio de Formosa. Comfortable boat - most seats shaded. Be prepared to cop a bit of spray at times. Our guide, Joao, was a great skipper and had a good sense of humour. He provided a lot of information, made a point of interacting with all passengers early in the trip, and was happy to answer questions. Sunhat a must have for shore walking - lots of glare and heat and no trees. Plenty of options for lunch. Thank you, Joao.

10/10 would recommend
Sebastian was a great tour guide, friendly, funny and very considerate of the range of ability in our group.
Had a great time walking and being able to see the caves from above, he answered all our questions, helped us with photos and even suggested how we could come back with transport to do the walk/trail.
The boat tour was quick but had some lovely views and just such an awesome experience.
After we finished with some free time near the beach, the cafe had some great food and wine, food was fresh and staff were very friendly. My aunts went down to the beach (i was hungry) but they enjoyed the beach and still had enough time to get some food after!

5 Stars! Great conversation , great wine, and very full bellies.
This was a brilliant tasting tour of Faro. We came with hungry bellies and boy did we roll out the door of the final restaurant!
Alessandra is lovely, knowledgeable and very gregarious - we had a great evening of conversation as well as enjoying some excellent food and excellent wine. 5 stars, would recommend !
