    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
