An excellent trip with the very knowledgeable Carlos and of course Kika. Fantastic afternoon and very good value. Thank you!

3 Island boat trip in Ria Formosa

Published on Dec, 2024

Loved our captain, Sergio, and the information he shared. December was a great unpopulated time to explore the land and seascapes.

Great boat trip

Published on Dec, 2024

A gem of a tour around three islands ranging from deserted to a little touristy. It allowed plenty of time off the boat to enjoy the locations. A very knowledgeable guide who gave lots of interesting information. It’s a tour we would highly recommend especially if you can end at sunset.

Perfect

Published on Dec, 2024

Great tour with nice captain. I really liked the boat and being closer to the water instead of a ferry. We got enough time at each island. It was a great day!

Fabulous experience

Published on Dec, 2024

We felt very welcome onboard. The captain told us about the island and made jokes with the passengers onboard. The sunset was beautiful as well.
