Great value excursion. - Wonderful trip and such good value. Everything was as advertised. Joao, out tour guide, was brilliant. He was informative, entertaining and great fun. His little tour around the alleys and gardens on Fisherman Island was lovely. Will go again next year.

Lovely boat trip - I really enjoyed this very relaxing trip around the islands on the Ria Fermosa. The 1 and a half hour visit to Culatra was lovely. My friend and I strolled through the village and along the board walk to a gorgeous quiet beach where we had an hour to relax on sun beds and take a dip in the sea. João, our guide was excellent with a great sense of humour. The captain was also very friendly. I highly recommend this trip.

Amazing value for money, lovely trip! - We are a family of five and the kids said they had the best day of the holiday. The restaurant for lunch was typically Portuguese, delicious and well priced. Joao the guide was polite and super informative. We’ll definitely go again. Thank you!

Nothing too special - a nice Tour at a very fair price - It was a nice Tour through Ria Formosa. We liked the Islands and enjoyed the trip. While on the boat there was an audio (provided in five languages) that gave information about Ria Formosa and its inhabitants. Especially considering the price I can recommend the tour. The four hours flew by.

OK, nice islands, could be better - It’s a nice enough boat trip and João was an enthusiastic guide but they should really swap the time on the islands. You spend 90 minutes on an unremarkable island with not much to do ( few restaurants) but only 30 minutes on the second island that has a nice beach, swimming area with a couple of good beach bars. Swap the times and it would be much better.
