Lovely half day trip - A lovely half-day boat trip around the nature reserve surrounding Faro.
Filipe was our captain for the trip and was very friendly and knowledgeable as he shared lots of information about the area showing us much of the wildlife on show
An excellent trip that took in two stops the first off a quiet beach where swimming was available the second at a little island with one or two lovely restaurants for fresh fish.
The only thing that could’ve improved the trip would’ve been if it was longer!

3-hour tour of the Ria Formosa with stop on Deserta Island and Farol Island - Very good 3 hour activity with a stop on Ilha Deserta and Farol with the guide João who even did the translation into French for us and who takes the time.
I recommend

Beautiful Discovery - Very friendly excursion but allow only 45 mins on “ilha deserta” is too short especially if you want to swim.
