Small Group Dolphin and Wildlife Watching Tour in Faro

Dawn_W, Aug 2026

Incredible

Highly recommend. The guys were awesome. Very knowledgeable, friendly and so welcoming. On my way down another tour operator asked if i needed help. I said i was looking for ocean vibes, he whispered, they're the best for dolphin watching. That said it all for me. Plus he was absolutely right. Such a special time.

Faro City Tour on Electric Tuk tuks

Dean_C, Jul 2026

Great tour with Damien!...

Great tour with Damien! As it was our first day, it was great to be taken around the town and shown the highlights so we were able to explore in greater depth later. Tuk-tuk was comfortable, fitted with seatbelts and Damien was a careful driver, and considerate to park in the shade when delivering history & knowledge about Faro. Thank you from us both!

tarja_k, Jul 2026

Fantastic

It was nice that it was a small group, with a very knowledgeable tour guide. The two hour break in the middle of the tour was a very nice touch. The small beach town we stopped in was perfect. Lots of good food, souvenir shops and a very nice beach. The vibe in this little town was beautiful.

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

Nicole_E, Jul 2026

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.

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.

Algarve Mountains & Villages - Half Day Jeep Safari Trip

Mary_W, Jun 2026

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

Jean_R, May 2026

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!

Benagil Cave Tour From Faro - Discover The Algarve Coast

Joseph_D, Aug 2025

Faro tour

We were on a tour of the caves in Faro - which were beautiful - the sea and scenery were breathtaking. Most of all we thank the driver of our van Jerome Vincent for taking such good care of us. As we are an elderly couple some of the path was a bit rocky. Jerome always had his hand out so we would not trip on the rocky road. He explained so many features to us and we think Faro is so beautiful. Jerome thank you for your help and kindness. Gary and Michelle
