Amazing boat tour around Ria Formosa islands - Ria Formosa islands are definitely one of the most beautiful places in Portugal, and this boat trip is really the best way to discover them. We had fun sailing through the islands, we took out time to relax and enjoy the amazing beaches and sea in Ilha Deserta and Ilha do Farol and the pictoresque fishermen's houses in Culatra, where we stopped for lunch. Our skipper was born and raised in Culatra and told us a lot of interesting things about the islands. The organization of the tour was very good and the staff was really welcoming and available for any need. Highly recommended!

A walk rich in knowledge - We spent a great day exploring all these small islands with our guide. We left rich in knowledge thanks to all these explanations during the walk. We ate great thanks to the fish restaurant he advised us. If you are on holiday in the Algarve do not hesitate to do this activity. He is a passionate person.

Highly recommend! Absolutely fabulous - This boat trip proved to be the best highlight of my short holiday to Olhao. Susana at the booth was very helpful and explained the itinerary and I opted for the longer trip of 5 hours which was well worth every euro. Our boat was skippered by Ivan. He is a true professional in nautical skills, safety, and has a wealth of knowledge on the beautiful Ria Formosa Natural Park. Ivan spoke both French and English perfectly with a fun sense of humour 😄 I highly recommend this experience with Odyssey to explore this Natural wonder. I'm fortunate in being able to compare with the competition, having sailed on another boat trip last year. Ivan and the team totally deserve the ranking of #1.

Beautiful - The visit was superb with Sergio. We did the Deserta instead of Armona and we loved it. Pareil Farol. To be made and remade.
