What you can expect

Discover the natural beauty of the Ria Formosa on this unforgettable sunset boat tour through its peaceful lagoons, stunning islands, and crystal-clear waters.

Travel in a small group of up to 18 people and explore some of the most beautiful places in the Algarve while enjoying a relaxing boat ride inside the calm waters of the Ria Formosa Natural Park.

Visit Culatra Island, a traditional fishing village where around 1,000 people live all year round, mainly from fishing traditions passed down through generations. Walk through the small streets, discover the local atmosphere, and enjoy free time to explore the island.

During the summer season, stop at a beautiful deserted beach accessible only by boat, perfect for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. If the weather is windy, cold, or during winter, the tour will instead include a stop at the charming Armona Island, known for its lovely houses, cafés, and relaxing atmosphere.

As the tour comes to an end, admire a breathtaking sunset over the Ria Formosa, with incredible shades of orange, pink, red, and gold reflected on the calm waters of the lagoon.

Throughout the experience, your local guide will share information about the islands, local culture, fishing traditions, and the wildlife of this protected natural area, making this much more than just a boat trip.
