Sunset in Faro

Fantastic experience. We took a small boat with only one other family for the 8pm sunset tour in July. We were able to see the sun fully set in the hour we were out on the cruise. It was much cooler temps in the evening and the views were phenomenal. Our guide was very informative and kind.

Great day out

This is a great way to spend a few hours, you are taken to beautiful spots where you can enjoy seeing some farm animals, enjoy delicious pastries and finish off with a swim. The tour guide Johnny was fantastic and feeling the breeze in an open top Land Rover made it a lot more enjoyable.

Ilha Deserta and Farol Island: a small group boat trip in Ria Formosa from Faro

Heather_N, Jun 2026

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.

The Amazing Geological Landscape of the Algarve

Excellent trip around the coastal area of the Algarve. The meeting point was easy to find, the transportation was modern and comfortable and Diana was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. I would recommend you wear a sturdy pair of trainers, bring plenty of water and sun cream - it gets hot around the rocks. For any keen geologists or fossil hunters this trip is your dream come true.

A beautiful hike...

A beautiful hike worthwhile. Aaron, our guide, was great and very friendly! He gave several very interesting explanations about the fauna and flora throughout the activity and made sure to integrate everyone into the group by talking with each person. And not to mention his photography skills, which are up to the task!

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! ❤️🇵🇹

Ria Formosa Natural Park and Islands Boat Cruise from Faro

Island tour to the Deserted Island and Farol Island in the lagoon with very knowledgeable guide. A+

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!

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.

Tour guide was very...

Tour guide was very knowledgeable of the local area. He had great charisma, was very entertaining and made us feel safe throughout the journey. Was amazing to visit a local farm and try local produce. Beautiful sights along the way and the viewpoint for the sunset was breathtaking. Can't recommend this enough

Small Group Dolphin and Wildlife Watching Tour in Faro

Ana_N, Feb 2026

Just amazing!!

Miguel and Diego were incredible!! We had the best experience ever. They went above and beyond our expectations to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. Due to the weather conditions in the morning, we were offered to come back in the afternoon to do the Sunset Dolphin Watching for no extra cost! My family and I could not have asked for a better opportunity to see the dolphins putting on an amazing show whilst experiencing the beautiful sunset in the background!! Miguel and Diego were so accommodating especially with my children, they even saved them seats at the front of the boat! Muito obrigada Miguel and Diego, we will be back :-)

Diane_K, Jul 2025

Great tour, highly recommended

We loved our afternoon tour of Algar Seco, Benagil Cave from the top, the coastal walk and Marinha beach. The scenery was spectacular. Meeting point in Faro was central and was easy to find. Tour guide Andres and driver Joao were both great, excellent English, very knowledgeable and the whole tour was really well organised with clear instructions and plenty of time at each location. We thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend you do this tour as well as a boat trip to the cave. The coastal walk was easy and gave absolutely amazing views so make sure you do it. Thank you Andres and Joao for a really thorough 5 hour tour and a great afternoon!
