Relaxing boat trip - We booked this tour a few minutes before it left on a bright cold day in early March. Cost was €20 booking direct. The boat was comfortable and silent with no motion sickness as its solar and electric powered. Our guide was informative and friendly. He explained some history, about local wildlife especially birds. It was so relaxing. There were 7 people on board which was very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend.

Quiet and serene - Lovely serene boat tour of the inner lagoon. We were lucky to see a Marsh harrier as well as spoonbills whimbrel and many other species. Our guide (we sadly cannot remember his name but it wasn't John) was Knowledgeable and entertaining. Definitely recommend choosing the solar power boat tour as the engine is silent making for a calm journey which feels less intrusive to wildlife.

Well worth earmarking an hour for this lovely experience - Our guide Diogo was very informative and fun to be with. A lovely way to spend an hour on the water and get a perspective on the area - its geography and history. Really glad I booked - THANK YOU !

Great value for money - Definitively worth it if you have only limited time and want to see the Ria formosa. The guide was helpful, friendly and even provided binoculars for passengers

Great experience, fairly priced - The electric boat makes all the difference, can enjoy the tour peacefully - being able to hear the birds without loud engine noises. The captain was really knowledgeable and personable, and an all-round good host. Reasonably priced and everything is communicated upfront - lots of different tour options to suit your preferences.

Very low key, relaxing,... - Very low key, relaxing, somewhat informative. I would not do twice. Friendly captain. Ask about passenger experience in Portugal and provides recommendations.

Lovely place, worth a look for twitchers - Very quiet eco boat and good close up of the wildlife. The guide was nice and friendly and showed us some interesting crabs. Saw plenty of birds including storks, Caspian tern, Marsh Harrier (we think), Godwits, Redshank, Whimbrel, Kentish Plover.
