What To Expect

Next to our Algarve Coast we have the Atlantic Ocean, where we can get away from Human life and discover Wildlife. In this Combi-Tour we have the privilege of being able to watch dolphins and observe seabirds as well as discover 2 islands: Ilha Deserta and Ilha do Farol.
The tour will last approximately 4h00, starting from Faro at 8h30 with the crossing of the Ria Formosa channels to Cabo de Santa Maria, which is described by the junction of the Waters.
We sail in the Ocean to discover Dolphins and other similar species.
Then we return to the Ria Formosa Natural Park where we stop at Ilha do Farol to be able to visit the small community around the Farol. We resume navigation to Ilha Deserta where you can bathe in its crystalline waters.
Finally, we return to the starting point with a completely different scenario, as the beauty of the Ria Formosa changes according to the tides!
