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.

A gentle peaceful eco boat ride around Ria Formosa lagoon - A really lovely gentle ride around the Ria Formosa lagoon with a knowledgeable friendly guide. The solar powered engine was completely noiseless which allowed us to fully appreciate the sounds of the water and wildlife.

Definitely worth doing - Had a brilliant tour with Diogo. It was very relaxing on the solar-powered boat. I learnt a lot about the national park and we saw some birds and crabs. Diogo has a good sense of humour and made the trip fun..
