About this tour

Leave the port of Olhão on a boat trip through the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Admire the beautiful landscapes and rich biodiversity with an expert crew.

Learn about the national park and local culture from your captain. Sail through swamps, islands, islets, dunes and sandbars that are home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Spot local birds, marine life and clam and oyster beds during low tide.

Make a stop at Culatra Island, where 1,000 people live and no cars are allowed; Discover this European sustainability project that will be completed by 2030.

Then, visit the island of Armona  and enjoy the serenity of a peaceful location, accessible only by boat. While you’re there, take the time to explore the island or go swimming and take amazing photos. Observe the Ria Formosa nature reserve as you navigate its canals.

When the weather starts to get hot, Armona gets very touristy, so we always go to a deserted beach instead , where you can swim, relax and walk on its white sandy beach.

Explore the Ria Formosa area and listen to the detailed explanations your captain has to share during the tour. Learn more about the fauna, flora and fishing activities.

Discover this unique coastal lagoon that is constantly changing due to the continuous movement of winds, currents and tides. It is also one of the most important areas for ornithology in Portugal, receiving more than 20,000 birds during the winter.

Visite des iles

Nous avons aimé notre expérience. Ivan était très attentionné et nous a partagé sa passion des iles. La plage déserte en marée basse était magnifique.
