Highlights

Sail through the Ria Formosa Natural Park and visit islands. Join us in a sightseeing cruise from Faro, amongst a small group up to 11 people. Journey through the Ria Formosa channels on a comfortable boat and make stops at the islands of Farol and Deserta. The tour is operated by a multilingual guide.
During high season (Easter until mid October), the morning tour will be about 4 hours to allow a slightly longer stop on the island of Farol to enjoy lunch in one of the typical restaurants of the community or visit the island more time. Lunch is optional and not included in the price. The choice of restaurant and its service is not linked to the boat tour company. The afternoon tour is around 3,5 hours.
The rest of the year, the duration is 3 hours.
