Discover the best of Ria Formosa Natural Park on a full-day boat tour departing from the Faro area, visiting three of the most iconic islands: Culatra, Farol, and Ilha Deserta. At Culatra Island you’ll explore a traditional fishing village where you can explore local life, walk through the streets or enjoy fresh seafood! Farol is home to the iconic lighthouse, with long sandy beaches and great spots for swimming. Then lastly, the Ilha Deserta is a peaceful, uninhabited island known for its untouched beauty, clear waters and relaxing atmosphere. This experience offers the perfect balance between nature, local culture and relaxation, with plenty of time at each stop to explore at your own pace. Cruise through calm turquoise waters, enjoy scenic lagoon views, and experience the unique charm of the Algarve’s barrier islands.
Special tip ❤️: Plan your lunch stop in Culatra! It’s one of the best places to try fresh seafood in the Ria Formosa.
Please arrive 30 minutes prior to departure for the check-in.
