    Four of us took a private/custom "three hour" tour of Ria Formosa with Odyssey Traditional Boat Tours on May 5, 2023. When I saw the crowds of people on some of the group tours, I was so happy we had just us and our captain! It was a beautiful day on the water and we enjoyed visiting multiple areas/islands of the region and learning about some of the local fishing and way of life. The beaches were beautiful. The lunch we bought was incredible! We are glad we ordered the dishes recommended by our captain. Our captain, William, "Gi" grew up on these islands and made us feel completely welcome and at home. We were never rushed and he gave us plenty of time to explore where we liked. Gi really made it a fantastic day. Highly recommend Odyssey!

    We had an amazing day on the water with Odyssey boats. Our captain knew an immense amount about the nature park, Portuguese history, where to find the freshest oysters!!! Yum! He brought us to a beautiful island all to ourselves and to Cultura too. We learned so much and had some great conversations. I highly recommend these guys. Thanks again for an unforgettable experience in the Algarve!!
