    Sunset Boat Trip from Faro along the Ria Formosa

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 30, 2023
