Choose between a morning or afternoon tour, with the afternoon option featuring a sunset view! In the summer, the afternoon tour is recommended because the islands are less crowded, the temperature is more comfortable, and it’s perfect for swimming. The itinerary remains the same, with the only difference being less time spent in Culatra as there is no lunch, but dining options are available on the islands if desired.
