Overview

Along our Algarve Coast we have the Atlantic Ocean, where we can get away from Human life and discover the Wildlife. We have the privilege of being able to observe dolphins and observe seabirds.
The tour will last 2h30, starting 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 towards the place of departure with a completely different view, as the beauty of the Ria Formosa changes according to the tides!
