About this tour

Ria Formosa Islands & Dolphin Watching Tour – A Complete Faro Experience

Ages: All ages | Duration: 7h30

Get ready for a full-day adventure combining two of the Algarve’s most unforgettable experiences: dolphin watching in the open ocean and island hopping in the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Your journey begins at Faro Marina, where you’ll head out into the Atlantic in search of wild dolphins. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness these incredible creatures swimming freely alongside the boat. A truly magical and memorable moment. Along the way, keep an eye out for other marine life as your skipper guides you through the best spotting areas. After this thrilling experience, you’ll return to the calm waters of the Ria Formosa, where a completely different landscape awaits. Cruise through lagoons and channels before stopping at three of the park’s most beautiful islands: Deserta, Culatra, and Farol.

Each island offers something unique. From untouched beaches and peaceful walks to charming fishing villages and iconic lighthouses. You’ll have time to explore, relax, swim, and truly experience the natural beauty and local lifestyle of this protected paradise.

Special tip ❤️: Bring your camera fully charged! Dolphins and these islands are pure postcard moments.

Emotion and discovery

Thank you to our guides Martin and Angel with whom we had a great time! We had the chance to see dolphins of 2 different species! We also liked the discovery of the 3 islands. Everything was perfect!

Dolfijnen 🐬 gezien in de Atlantische oceaan bij Faro

Het was een prachtige ervaring, zowel de boottocht als het zien van talloze dolfijnen. De gids en de bestuurder van de boot waren erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ze hebben hun uiterste best gedaan om ons bij de dolfijnen te brengen. In eerste instantie was er geen dolfijn te bekennen, maar de bemanning besloot om om te keren en opnieuw te zoeken. Gelukkig maar, want we hebben volop kunnen genieten van de vele dolfijnen die rond onze boot zwommen.

Gorąco polecam

👍👍👍 Super Bardzo fajna wycieczka. Niestety natura potrafi być kapryśna i widziałem tylko dwa delfiny z daleka.
