"DIEGO WAS MY KIND, IT WAS A VERY PLEASANT AND PEACEFUL WALK. WE RECOMMEND THE 6H. BETTER THAN 4H. AS THERE IS TIME TO RELAX AT EACH ONE OF THE STOPS ON THE SAME BEACH"Sandra · August 2022
"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

"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
