Ria Formosa and the three islands with my family - The captain was fun and took great care of us. Loved visiting the three islands and the recommendation for the seabass lunch was spot on! My daughter and granddaughters had the best day too!

Decapitated day trip - Very friendly, informative tour. Weather was top and the islands very worth seeing. In December it was closed a lot, but so you could explore the islands in peace.

As always, a nice tour of the Ria Formosa - A beautiful tour of the Ria Formosa with a comfortable, safe boat and an experienced and competent skipper. During the tour he explained the ecological and historical details of the area, especially the nature of the tides and their influence on the lagoon ecosystem. Oyster benches, protected areas for seahorses and the many areas for the rearing of different types of mussels were part of his repertoire. The breaks at the Farol lighthouse, the town of Culatra and the beaches were very varied and relaxing. I have been riding ODYSSEY BOAT TOURS for several years and have never been disappointed - definitely a recommendation.

Pleasing tour of the Ria Formosa - It was a great tour, fun and interesting. The guide was really nice and we enjoyed it very much. Highly suggested. We made three stops, the weather was a bit cold unfortunately but at least it didn't rain!

Very nice island tour - Very nice tour to three different islands. Each with stay. We liked it very much as a family and the tour guide was very nice and could tell a lot about the history of the fishing villages. Highly recommended

A family walk - Best of all the boat skipper: Guillermo. Very attentive, with a clean boat handling. The islands are not bad but we expected something different. The villages are poorly maintained and perhaps a more uniform aesthetic of the houses would be lacking. There are houses like shanties. Little choice of bars in the middle of December. At least we carry snacks just in case. The end, the sunset was amazing, all thanks again to Guillermo q deserves a 10.

It was beautiful, with a captain coming to work on December 25th👍🙏 (our visit on the 24th having been cancelled due to the wind). - Everything was perfect, then I think you have to spend a night on the island to enjoy better. The return with sunset was great
