    Absolutely fabulous tour, Carlos was a great guide, funny, friendly and knowledgeable. It was great to spend time on the islands and learn all about the eco system. The boat ride was a great thing to do in a hit day. Def recommend this tour.

    Amazing experience

    Denise_L, Jul 2024
    I am so glad I chose this boat experience, we visited deserta and Farol islands. Carlos was a brilliant guide, he was very knowledgeable and respectful about the nature surrounding us. We had enough time to bathe and explore parts of the islands. I would highly recommend and whenever I will be back in Faro I would definitely do it again. Thank you so much for having us :)

    Wonderful experience

    It was such a wonderful day. Carlos is a really good guide, he told a lot of information about birds and local ecosystem. I'll definitely recommend this trip to my friends.

    Fun afternoon in the lagoon.

    Carlos was a great guide. He was personable and knowledgeable. I liked seeing the stork, learning about the violin crab and exploring the two islandS.

    Great Boat Tour

    WHAT AN AMAZING DAY OUT

    The best speedboat tour in Faro! I'm a travel reviewer and I can safely say that this is the most amazing day out on the water, and you get to visit 2 islands also. The captain Carlos was so informative and knowledgable about the area and the wildlife. He made this tour really interesting as well as exciting. If your going to Faro this is a must do activity! I really cant wait to return to Faro to do this tour again. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Thoroughly enjoyable trip.

    Superbe excursion avec Carlos qui est un connaisseur des lieux, vous pouvez en plus, faire une excursion pour voir les dauphins en passant par leur agence directement et voir les îles sur la même journée

    No se pueden perder el paseo por la Ría Formosa

    AnaRosa_A, Jul 2023
    Un paseo muy instructivo y ameno y divertido con el Capitan Carlos, que nos enseñó las aves y especies que habitan en la zona. Pudimos bañarnos en aguas cristalinas, comer en la isla Farol y disfrutar de un muy agradable paseo en buena compañía.

    Muy recomendable
