4.9 / 5 · 2,136 traveler reviews
Your Guide will explain the Ria Formosa and the islands to you throughout the tour and will help with everything you need. During the stops, all customers are free, for the time stipulated by the captain. During the boat tour you will not feel nausea, since we sail only in the interior of the Ria Formosa. Choose between the morning or afternoon tour, with the afternoon option including sunset! In the summer, we recommend the afternoon tour, as the islands are less busy, the temperature is more pleasant and excellent for swimming. The itinerary is the same, with the only difference that we spend less time in Culatra because there is no lunch, but you can eat on the islands if you want. Parages: - 1st Stop - Farol Island ( 1h00 ) - 2nd Stop : Ilha da Culatra ( 2H00 ) , stop for lunch , with several restaurants on the island or can bring food if so preferred. - 3rd Stop - Desert Beach or Armona Island (1h00) ⚡️ The 15h45 option lasts until sunset - 4h00 ⚡️
