Magic - Day at the top to discover these islands and be able to come back to the one we loved. Good organization and time to visit each and discover the beaches because you have to walk

“Between the Sky and the Sea of Ria Formosa” - Sailing with ODYSSEY – Ria Formosa Boat Tours was a unique experience. The captain, always attentive and impeccable, guided us through the calm waters of Ria Formosa, revealing all its beauty. The passage through Farol Island and Culatra Island was simply stunning — places full of charm, authenticity and breathtaking landscapes. A moment to keep in memory.

Some issues, but good overall - The tour and locations were good and the staff were great and friendly. However one of their boats broke down i guess there was scheduling issues, so the tour guide could only take us to 2 islands. So in effect it became a 2 island tour instead of 3 island tour. No refund or complimentary offer was made for the inconvenience or service that was not in line with the advertised tour.
