Safe and informative trip to the two islands.

We had a great Boat trip with Capitan out to two islands from Faro. The Captain was very entertaining and informative about all the wildlife we saw during the trip. We learnt so much about the local history which added to the wonderful trip. Thanks for the safe and interesting excursion.
