La Ria Formosa Check-out from Faro - Welcome in French then we joined the boat and our Guide Miguel very nice. He took care to show us the birds, the crabs, and give us plenty of explanations about the Ria Formosa, all with humor and taking care of our well-being. 4h outing with stop on 2 islands, where it was very hot! We recommend this visit.

Book this trip :) - This is an amazing tour. From the scenery, to the wildlife, & to the beach time—it made for a great day. Miguel was a fantastic guide with knowledge of the wildlife in the lagoons & was very good maneuvering his way through the lagoons as the tides changed. It made our last day in Faro a great one.

Very nice excursion and highly recommended. - The excursion we took was the 4 hours, to the ppio they take you to desert island where they leave you an hour to bathe or visit the island, then you head to bluff island to visit the island, do not miss the bar of the pirate flag. Then you see the sunset that is impressive in the middle of the river to end with a pleasant walk back. (for the return wear a sweatshirt, it is a little cold). The Guide Miguel very nice and attentive, totally recommended.

A visit not to be missed! - Must-see boat tour to discover the Ria Formosa Natural Park and the Deserta and Farol Islands. Small group visit (there were 12 of us) and very rewarding thanks to Miguel who took the time and care to explain everything about birds and the Ria Formosa, all with humor and extreme kindness. We strongly recommend this visit ❤️
