Highly Recommended

We had a lovely 3.5hrs trip on 18/7/23 to The Cultara & Deserta with our brilliant captain Luis! Fantastic gentleman with good knowledge of the Ria Formosa lagoons & Nature reserve. Very smooth operator of the luxury boat . Our family loved the boat ride. Would highly recommend this boat trip with this agency. Thanks to you Luis & your lovely office lady Fernanda for making it such a pleasurable and memorable experience for us at Portugal

We loved this boat trip

We loved this boat trip, a three and a half- hour journey to the heart of the lagoon area of Ria Formosa. The ebb and tide create a very dynamic ecosystem of sand islands that appear and vanish. The guide Jaime is extremly knowledgeable in the fish, birds and sea creatures in the environment and is also very kind and pleasant.

Great Experience

Great experience, from the front desk who we discussed and managed to find us a tour for the afternoon, to the tour itself, everything was excellent. We were lucky enough to be alone with the skipper/guide (Miguel, very good!), who is a curvy lover, we discovered a lot of history thanks to him, we stopped in many places and he guided us to the fishing villages. I warmly recommend and thank you again for this fantastic afternoon!

Experienced Guide

We did a 3.5 hour tour of the Ria Formosa on a pontoon boat with Natura Algarve. Our guide Jaime told us a lot about the flora and fauna and answered our questions in detail. We were lucky and there were only four of us on the tour, which was very pleasant. This gave us a bit of a say in whether we wanted to have time to swim or explore the islands. A recommended tour with a pleasant length.

Fantastic Day

On November 22nd, 2023 we unexpectedly enjoyed a private boat tour through the Ria Formosa; This was of course something very special for my husband's big birthday. Right from the start we felt we were in very good hands with the provider "Natura Algarve", from the inquiry to the callback to the reservation and especially thanks to our super-friendly skipper (whose name I can't remember at the moment), who gave us a very good experience and introduced us to the nature around Olhão and was a very nice and extremely entertaining host. We visited two islands and had enough time to explore them on foot. We were picked up on time and had a fantastic day. Thank you for that! And for the readers of this review: you can't go wrong here
