We depart with the wind and tides, gently navigating the channels of Ria Formosa, witnessing local Life happening and nature unfolding, people go by their daily affairs, clam farming, fishing. Birds and other animals feed and interact. Life happens naturally while our experienced and knowledgeable guides explain you all these wonders. As the day progresses we will also pay a visit to a village where you will have free time to explore, taste and get involved in the culture and traditions of this very special and unique place, there are several little bistros with all the delicacies from our Ria for you to try.
