Calm, relaxing, beautiful views - I had such a wonderful trip! It was peaceful with beautiful views and the staff could not have been more kind and helpful.
The quiet of the boat makes this a relaxing and calm trip; and so very memorable. I loved it.

Lovely trip - Excellent leisurely trip on a quiet, sedate(ish) solar powered boat with an interesting commentary from a real local (Miguel). Recommended for kids as they might get a chance to steer the boat!

Wonderful relaxing trip with lots of birds - We did this boat tourlast week and had a wonderful time. Our guide was very experienced and knew a lot about the wildlife in the area. If was funny and helpful that he even knew the Dutch names of the birds. He also clearly gave us the opportunity to take a lot of beautiful bird-pictures. We would definately recommend this (relatively cheap) trip! thank you!

The peacefulness and serenity of being out in the ocean without the noise of a motor is incredible!! The guides are so informative about local wildlife and the natural park.

Relaxing, interesting, beautiful! - Initially attracted to this tour by prospect of travelling on a solar powered boat. It is eco-friendly and virtually silent, so less likely to impact on the environment or indeed the wildlife.
Was not disappointed! A very relaxing and interesting experience provided by our knowledgeable and sharp-eyed skipper. A great way to see more of the Ria Formosa and also views of Faro from the water. Would definitely recommend.
