The tour was amazing. It was basic and calm. - they take you to the seahorse location with a boat (right off the shore of Culatra Island)
- they give you with basic info about seahorses
- they provide you with snorkeling equipment (next time I would definitely take a wetsuit as the water was COLD)
- they find seahorses that you can observe
- after a while they take you back
Everyone in our group saw at least a few seahorses. I was really happy and will go again when I visit Algarve again.

Basically a nice tour, had it not been for the many Portuguese locals who had anchored in the seahorse sanctuary and stirred up the water with their bottoms, so that not even the guide managed to find any in the murky water. An outrage! Even after his complaint that only the tour boat was allowed to anchor there, there was no reaction from the locals! I hope that action will be taken against this!
But there were sea cucumbers and octopuses to admire.
A wetsuit is recommended; we were there at the beginning of August and the water without at least a shorty was way too cold for the kids to stay in for long.
The tour was even extended in the hope that more could be seen if the sediments settled. I really hope that the pressure from tourism and the interest in the seahorses is high enough to better protect this sanctuary.
