    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

    RIB Boat Trip to Marinha Beach and Benagil Cave
    "A beautiful excursion not to be missed, to admire the coast from the sea. It was unhurried and the dinghy was not crowded. The guide, Julie, was very good, even with her Italian, which, although not fluent, was easily understood. Her attentiveness, friendliness, and professionalism more than made up for it. Captain Helder, excellent, friendly, and attentive, guided the dinghy, allowing us to fully enjoy the view. Thank you for an experience we will never forget!"Bruno · September 2025
