About this tour

Deserta Island / Farol Island Tour

Embark on a tour with the charm and beauty of the canals of the Ria Formosa Natural Park,  a 3 hour tour with 2 stops at the Deserta and Farol islands. You will enjoy a sensational moment where all the elements of nature come together!

The brightness of the Sun, the water mirror in the Ria Formosa canals, the sound of the birds and the changing colors in the sky, transform this tour into an unforgettable moment!

You will be able to observe the nature of the park, feel the comfort onboard, and enjoy the unique landscapes, which make the Ria Formosa Natural Park one of the 7 natural wonders of Portugal.

A unique experience along the 15 miles route. The first stop and visit will be to Deserta Island, where we will disembark in a wild and inhabited place. The richness of the fauna and flora on this island, the dunes and its crystalline waters, invites you to visit. It has a very long and wide beach, both on the side of the estuary and the ocean. This is where Cabo de Santa Maria is located, which is the southernmost point of mainland Portugal.

In the second, Farol island, a small tourist village where the historic lighthouse of Santa Maria, built in 1851, is located. It is a place where we experience unique sensations, with its narrow sandy streets, typical bars, and small houses. Colorful and rustic. It has a very beautiful and extensive sandy beach. However, it is short at high tide!

On each island, the visit will be free, where you will have approx. 45 minutes to in each of them, to enjoy, visit, swim, drink a cocktail on the beach, take photos, and do anything else you want to do at your leisure. Enjoy!

Oh! And all through, you are accompanied by a local, multilingual, passionate, and attentive guide! Here we go?

Fun and affordable boat trip

This was a lovely boat trip. We saw a small village with only 30 residents; the remaining little houses are Airbnbs. We got a chance to experience a delightful seafood made by the locals. I highly recommend this affordable and fun boat trip. The captain was fun!
