The Sunset Tour was amazing! Our skipper Ricardo was very friendly and accommodating of our group. He played music while we were on the boat and gave us a little bit of history of the national park. SpaceThe boat was comfortable and was a very relaxing tour, sunset was beautiful! I recommend anybody to go on this for whether it be with a partner or friends.

Dear customer, thank you so much for choosing our company and of course for taking some time to review us! We are so glad we received you on our boat, that you could see the Ria Formosa Natural Park with our guide and discover the islands Deserta and Farol! It was such a pleasure for our team to have you with us! See you next time! Best regards Sandra

Amazing captain Miguel who made the trip so good. Really enjoyed it . It was our 25th anniversary & Miguel took lots of pictures for us & really made it a trip to remember.

A great trip with a friendly and knowledgeable host in Miguel who shared his personal knowledge of the environment and wildlife. I’d recommend it to anyone.

La balade en bateau avec le coucher du soleil était incroyable. Nous remercions grandement Ricardo qui nous a conduit sur la Ria Formosa pour profiter de ce moment. Nous recommandons fortement de le faire !

Journée agréable avec la découverte de deux îles du Ria Formosa !
L'excursion le matin permet de manger sur place et nous conseillons le pique nique car ça nous a permis de profiter plus longtemps sur place plutôt que de manger au restaurant !

El guía fue muy agrdable y nos iba contando curiosidades de la zona. Las 4 horas se hicieron cortas.

Guide très sympathique, visite en plusieurs langues. Très belles îles et magnifique panorama. Belle sortie

Ricardo hat unsere Gruppe von insgesamt 9 Personen auf dem kleinen Katamaran sehr gut geführt und ( für uns auf englisch ) Interessantes über die Ria und die Inseln erzählt. Auf der Ilha deserta hatten wir 1 h Zeit, auch zum Baden - auf Farol 45 min.

Miguel a été parfait, il a fait les commentaires en 3 langues différentes, Français , Espagnol et Anglais, quand on sait qu'il est en plus portugais, ça donne des complexes.....
La visite des iles a été très intéressante et nous avons passé une excellente après midi.
A faire.

El piloto se llamaba Alex y nos explicó lo que ver en cada isla. Y nos fue enseñando las distintas especies protegidas que nos encontramos por el camino.
Repetiria encantada.
