We felt like we were there to give our money away. The skipper was friendly and gave us some interesting information. but out of 2.5 hours, we only did 45 minutes of boat time, the rest on 2 islands. We are still waiting for the included dinner advertised. Very disappointed with this very commercialized Southern Portugal, compared to the more authentic Northern Portugal.

Superb experience, loved this trip and saw an amazing sunset too

Bring something warm to wear as you race across the sea in this speedboat and you may get a bit chilly (in February). Our boat captain was very friendly and knowledgeable and very professional.

Beautiful tour, Captain was great.

Did the sunset boat tour. Captain was very funny and personable. Scenery and islands we visited were fantastic. Great value.

Beautiful trip with a lot of freedom

We had a great trip! First we visited the island of Culatra (1h) with its magnificent beach on the Atlantic coast. After that we visited the small yet beautiful island of Farol (1h) and stayed until the sunset begun. We enjoyed the rest of the sunset on the boat and came back to Olhao very happy.
