    Faro: Popular Boat Trips
    Boat Trip along Ria Formosa with Birdwatching
    "Highly recommend this trip. Especially if you are looking for something very laid back and relaxing. The afternoon tour may be the best as it ends with the sunset over the waters in January. The amount of wildlife depends of course on the wildlife. Our guide André was very knowledgeable about the birds as well as the Faro area and culture. Very well spoken, engaging, and polite. Could not have asked for better. "Marcia · January 2025

    "Great guides on the boat made it interesting and fun. We didn't see dolphins but had a minky whale swim right next to the boat and also saw a loggerhead turtle.

"Booked it for myself and my 8 year old. We had an absolute blast. It was so much fun to hear my son make happy squeeks through his mask everytime he saw a fish or octopus. I wonder who enjoyed the snorkelling the most. Him, me or maybe even Kati (our guide) 😉 Thanks Kati for an unforgetable experience and a big smile on our faces. "
