Sublime. - We enjoyed the peaceful trip round the lagoon. The colours were stunning on the sunset trip and we saw plenty of birdlife. Luís, our guide, was friendly and informative. He spotted and identified various bird species. As the boat is solar powered, there was no noisy, stinky engine. This made the trip more relaxing.

Relaxing and picturesque with a personal and friendly vibe! - We had a great tour around Ria Formosa with 4 others. The sunset was great, and there were some lovely views. Flamingos flying overhead was a highlight for all. Our host, Andre, was great. He had lots of information to share, both about the area and also Portugal as a whole. He was friendly, funny, and made time for everyone. His English was perfect and he also was translating some words into German for another couple in the boat. Personal touches brought everyone on the boat together. He was happy to answer tourist questions like how best to get to the islands and where to eat (even offering to show a couple of the group to his favourite restaurant on his way home). We loved the idea of the solar boat and it was absolutely silent, adding to the relaxing nature of the tour. A lovely way to relax for an hour or so

Calm, peaceful, beautiful! - A lovely way to see a beautiful sunset! Even with a fairly high tide, we got to see quite a few different birds, the highlight being the flamingo flypast! A knowledgeable guide and just a small number of people,this was a lovely calm, peaceful experience - highly recommended!

Sunset tour - Diogo was a knowledgeable host, both friendly and funny. We had special guests aboard, complete with champagne and bubbly manner to match. Diogo was unfazed by the distractions. Highly recommended tour

No Sun But Had Fun - The Capt was humours and shared good knowledge of the marina, its wildlife and what we could do and where to dine while we stayed in Faro. In terms of the personal touch for us, we knew the weather was not going to provide that sunset experience but we expected the Capt to express some kind of humour about it. All in all, it was a nice way to spend an hour on the smooth water. For those who are fascinated about aviation, you get good views of the Faro International AirPort and Runway.
