    Sunset Boat Trip to Armona Island and Praia Deserta
    "I gave it three stars because I booked the tour without an Italian-speaking guide. As a result, I couldn't get any explanations in my native language, and had to make do with a few words in English and a few in Spanish. Otherwise, everything went according to plan. The guide was also excellent, as was the captain's attention to those with mild mobility issues. Thank you for this experience!"Bruno · September 2025

    Private Boat Trip through the Ria Formosa Natural Park
    "I would recommend this private boat trip because you can go at your pace. We went to the fishing port. This was an awesome experience. The best island would be Ihla Deserta where you can have lunch in Estancia (very good food but reserve ahead of time) and also swim. Do not spend more than 20 mins in Armona and Farol. Go to Culatra to buy fresh oysters from the fishermen. A 6 hour private trip is perfect. "Teresa O · October 2025

    Sunset Boat Trip from Faro along the Ria Formosa
    "The ride is a delight because of the landscape and because being a solar boat you can't hear the engine and it is very relaxing. Furthermore, our captain and guide, André, was great telling us things about the biodiversity of the estuary and life in Faro. I definitely recommend this activity for both adults and children. And the sunset from the boat is spectacular"MILAGROS · August 2023
