Ria Formosa at sunset - Great experience, well organized and super driving. Our captain Miguel, led us to discover beautiful places, giving us useful and curious information about the local fauna, activities and life of Faro, the park of Ria Formosa, Ilha Deserta and Farol. The return at sunset was exciting. Thanks again to our guide/captain Miguel, very competent, prepared and great entertainer, available.

Better than pics show - Best part of our trip to Faro! I booked this boat for a private boat trip for my family. After booking this, I honestly wasn’t sure the expectations of the tour were going to be high, as the pictures don’t give much, but my family and I have fun no matter what we’re doing. The pictures really don’t give justice. The tour guide (Ricardo) was a perfect host. He wasn’t too intrusive on talking the whole time and let us do our thing. He was courteous and let us ask all our questions. He was the perfect level of host we were looking for. We made 2 stops. The first was a beautiful island that only has a few permanent residence, but the houses and views were great! The 2nd stop was a beautiful boardwalk to walk down on a beautiful desolate island. The boardwalk looked like it never ended so we had to eventually turn around. It was so private and beautiful. We enjoyed our own beverages and snacks we brought on board. Ricardo lay us play our own music. Perfect for a fun family crowd. Boat is a pontoon, not a catamaran. Perfect comfort and space, and speed. We unfortunately had no sunset, but we had such a great time, we could care less. Wish I could add the videos to show more.

Islands and Sunset Tour Faro - Great three plus hour tour of the islands, bird and marine life from Miquel. Miguel is a fantastically knowledgeable and entertaining guy. Great value as well - just 78 euros for the two of us.
