Experience Bird Watching in Ria Formosa with Natura Algarve

Come along on a fantastic boat trip and have fun birdwatching in the Algarve. Considered the second most important wetland for aquatic birds in Portugal, Ria Formosa is one of the places to visit if you enjoy birding.

Join us on a 2.5-hour boat trip from Olhão for birdwatching in Ria Formosa and discover the birds that inhabit this beautiful Nature Park. On this boat tour, we sail on secondary and shallow channels, allowing us excellent views of birds at short distances without disturbing them.

Ria Formosa is recognized for its biodiversity and ecological significance and is considered an IBA (Important Bird Area), being one of the most important wetlands for aquatic birds in Portugal. It’s an extraordinary birdwatching site in the Algarve, sheltering rare and threatened bird species. It’s also an important wintering ground for birds from northern and central Europe and a strategic stop-over point in the migration between Europe and Africa.
