What to expect

Get ready to discover the Natural Park of Ria Formosa with a local guide. On this boat tour, you'll admire the natural landscape of the reserve and stop to visit the islands of Deserta and Farol.

Departing from Faro, you'll sail through the channels of Ria Formosa to fully enjoy the landscape of this natural park. On your way, you'll see different birds such as Grey Herons, White Storks, and many other species that use this area as a feeding habitat. Arriving in the islands, marvel at the views of the beach and admire the lighthouse of Culatra. Don't miss the chance to observe the locals in the oysters and clams farms as well as the fishing market of Olhão. Looking towards the ocean, you'll be able to see one of the most important sea entrances of Ria Formosa.

Stop at the lighthouse of Farol and enjoy a walk around the picturesque streets of the island and admire the huge white-sandy beach of Santa Maria Cape, the southernmost point in Portugal. Leaving Farol, you'll stop in Deserta Island. Get off and relish some free time to explore on your own the natural landscape, enjoy an easy walk, or just relax and take and bathe in the crystal-clear waters of the beach.
