It was magical - Really pleased we booked this tour over the other companies. The boat is electric so makes no noise in the water, allowing us to hear the plentiful bird calls. Luis, our guide gave us all binoculars- a generous and lovely extra- and pointed out the different birds we all saw- osprey, egrets, heron, stork, tern, redshank, plover, curlew, kingfisher. The second half of our time was to enjoy the sunset and just being on the sea amongst the marshes. It was just magical. We dressed warm but blankets were offered too.

romatic trip - A great romantic trip with the sun going down over the lagune. The fact that it s an electric boat helps a lot because you have no noice of the engine at all. It s also a very flat boat so that the guide could go very close to the land and show us stuff in detail. The guide was really friendly and answered all question we had. We saw some nice birds and crabs, but the sunset is what you do this for. Too bad they still allow jetskies in the natural park because a lot of them have no respect for nature or other boats. This however has got nothing to do with the organiser of this trip which was just amazing.

Amazing sunset, inspirational Captain Andre! - Highly recommended. A relaxing and informative end-of-day cruise in the Ria Formosa park. Our captain & guide, Andre, was outstanding. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the natural environment was second to none. He kept us all interested & entertained throughout the hour long 'cruise' - a very knowledgeable and inspiring guy. And the sunset itself was amazing.

With the solar boat underway - Very nice, quiet trip with the solar boat through the nature reserve at sunset. A windproof jacket is definitely recommended in February.

Great guide, great view, great wildlife - Me and my friends loved this tour! Manuel was an extremely friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and we really had a nice time with him. The boat is super quiet so it’s such a peaceful trip to watch the sunset and the birds. They also provided blankets for us when it got a bit colder - nice touch! Would definitely recommend 👍🏼
