Top Faro Day Trips

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.

It was a very scenic tour in the lagoon next to Faro. The guide was very informative and kept a captive audience with his knowledge of the area. We visited two islands - the “Deserted Island” and Farol Island. We had a chance to explore both with ample time before returning to the Marina. We also saw quite a bit of wildlife, namely birds along the way. Excellent tour!

We can highly recommend this tour. Our guide Sebastian was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. He gave us a lot of information about the Algarve area, but also about restaurants and directions to different regions. The boat trip to the caves was faboulos. Very memorable!

We had Carla as our driver/guide and had a great day, Carla was very professional and knowledgeable. Great fun going off the beaten track infact the off road part reminded us of driving on the UK roads, plenty of potholes. Joking aside a great experience.

This full-day tour is very worthwhile as an opportunity to see parts of the Algarve that would otherwise be missed. Silves was a great place to buy things (e.g. ceramics) as prices are much lower than major centers, and Lagos was charming. Cape St. Vincent was a great viewpoint that we weren't even aware of before the tour. Our guide Jonny was excellent and knowledgeable.

Our tour guide, Johnny was prompt in picking us up at the designated area and happily entertained us with historical anecdotes along the way to various stops. The first stop at Silves, we were instructed on how to reach the castle (entry was not included) and given an hour and 10 minutes to see it plus the surrounding town. The castle didn’t disappoint and the town had a quaint architecture. The town church was closed unfortunately as well as the museum. The second stop was the oceanside town of Lagos which was very impressive with its churches, fortress walls, colorful boats along the river canal, and quaint little streets filled with local restaurants and shops. Johnny took us to a small restaurant for lunch (not included in the tour price) which we paid 22 Euros per person for all you can drink (wine, juice, or sodas), bread, olives, cheese, prosciutto, a main dish (choice of chicken, fish, blacken pork or vegetarian dish) and a slice of cake for dessert. Well worth it and delicious. The last leg of our tour was Cape Saint Vincent (also known as the end of the world). The views were overwhelmingly astonishing. No pictures can do it justice. You have to experience it in person to comprehend it’s majestic beauty. Definitely recommend this tour although it didn’t include costs of castle entry and lunch (costs approximately 28 Euros in total).
