Relaxing and gentle trip... - Relaxing and gentle trip to see the wildlife, guide very friendly. The solar powered boat was very quiet so didn’t scare away the birds.

Excursions - Great discovery Guide to the top! Make the effort to speak French a real plus! Only downside the proximity to the airport.

Super relaxed ride in a small round - Great experience. Super relaxed, small round, great guide who seemed very competent and super nice. In an hour, of course, you won't see much. But to spend the time until around departure relaxed in Faro is a good idea. The fact that the boat had a possibility to cover it is really ideal for lunchtime. The guide spoke great English, apparently also Spanish and even knew some terms about the Ria Farmosa in German

highly recommend - Andre was so charismatic and knowledgeable- he made the trip so enchanting. We saw some spoonbills, storks, and grey herons - and found out where to go to see flamingos. We were with one other group, so there was a total of 6 of us on board. The boat is very quiet and shaded. Amazing experience

Nice and quiet. - There are different routes depending of the tide. We made it with high water and it was nice, but probably there are more birds to See at low water.

Relaxing trip - Very friendly staff, calm experience on the water with the solar powered boat and really interesting to learn about the tides and different bird species. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t very good, so we didn’t see too many birds but still enjoyed the experience.

Faro from the sea - Great to be in a quiet boat experiencing Faro from the water. Found over a dozen bird species and were informed by our knowledgeable tour guide. Especially enjoyed our stop at the beach.

Good views, bad guide - The guide did not seem that he wanted to be there. The views were good and we did some bird spotting. Would not recommend in general.
