Great experience, fairly priced

Published on Nov, 2024

The electric boat makes all the difference, can enjoy the tour peacefully - being able to hear the birds without loud engine noises. The captain was really knowledgeable and personable, and an all-round good host. Reasonably priced and everything is communicated upfront - lots of different tour options to suit your preferences.

Memorable experience

Published on Sep, 2024

The tour was super interesting and relaxing, our tour guide was really funny and spoke an impressive amount of languages. I liked the small group and the view was fantastic

A great little bird watching experience!

Published on Jul, 2024

Saw some lovely birds and landscapes, show to us by our passionate, friendly and funny tour guide. Provided with a board to help identify the birds, with the guide pointing them out.

Perfect way to start the day!

Published on Jul, 2024

My wife and I had a wonderful time on this tour! It was the perfect way to start our trip in the Faro area. Our tour guide Luis was wonderful as he showed us through the salt marsh giving us background on the local wildlife gave us recommendations for the rest of our day in town. Highly recommend!

Amazing lagoon with wildlife infront of your eyes
