A thoroughly enjoyable introduction to the reserve - A great guided tour of the area with Kurt and his trustee companion Spike the dog. Everything was as described and Kurt has a wealth of information about the natural (and Human) history of the reserve. The whole family enjoyed it, so we are very happy customers!

excellent kayak tour - The guides at Roots Kayak were great, easy going and amiable. Equipment was clean and suitable for the task. We booked a morning tour of the Ria Formosa Lagoon. Our guide spent extra time pointing out flora and fauna of the area when learning we have an interest in bird watching. Midday we stopped for lunch before kayaking back to the starting point. The day was wonderful, one of our best during our time in Portugal. 100% would book this kayak tour again.
