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
Private Half Day Catamaran Trip around the Ria Formosa Natural Park"We were a group of 9 friends and had a fantastic day. Super friendly owners and a great boat. We were even lucky enough to see several dolphins swimming alongside our boat for a few minutes.
We can only recommend this tour!"Viktor+Lauritz · September 2024
Boat Trip to the Benagil Cave with Dolphin Watching"It was a very nice experience, nice personnel, and we saw a lot of caves. Pity the swimming was cancelled because of rough weather, and also no Dolphins. None of the boats spotted them. It was not their fault. But the trip also was, because of those things that were not done, much shorter(half an hour. But, I still would recommend this trip. It was very nice. Only at last when the trip was over, one came shaking everybody's hands but with a tip box. Normally I would give a tip, but this was to me like an obligation. Maybe better to present the tip box while leaving. Also we had because of back troubles a seat at the back row, and our vieuw was very limited, even though we were first to board. But in the caves they took enough time to film or photograph. But smaller ships with less persons aboard went in to much more caves. Also because of rough weather their boat was very bouncy, a catamaran next to them took less bounces. but, to complete my revieuw: it was as good as it gets. For anyone who takes this trip also: bring a vest or coat, it was cold at sea, even on a very warm day."Ria · April 2026
