"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 2, 2025
