Fantastic tour with knowledgeable and passionate guide.

Published on May, 2024

We had an excellent boat trip with Carlos as our skipper and guide. He was deeply passionate and knowledgeable about the national park, its flora and fauna, as well as the culture of the area. We hugely enjoyed our visit. We weren't initially sure about doing such a long trip- but the time just flew by and we loved swimming in a couple of different places as well as having a delicious fish lunch.

Excellent boat tripo with Paolo of Rotas das Ilha

Published on Jan, 2024

We had a beautiful boat trip in Ria Formosa with Rotas das Ilha. Our skipper Paolo was excellent guide, he knows all about the ria eco system and life and explains everything with his great knowledge and excellent English. We were 4 members of the family and 2 others joined the sail. it was so unique , interesting, and 3.5 hours with sun set sight passed quickly. Thank you Paolo for wonderful boat trip.

Beach walk

Published on Sep, 2023

What a great opportunity to travel to the closest island and walk the beach. The small beach cabins were interesting to see but the highlight was the beach. We planned to take the boat from Olhao to Farol, and be back in 3/4 hours. Our captain suggested we get off at Hangares, walk across the the beach then back, on the beach towards the lighthouse to Farol. Glad we followed his advice. Well worth the trip and only 6.50 per person return.

fantastic experience with experienced local fisherman guide

Published on Apr, 2023

Gur guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife in the National park and willing to share this with his guests As a fisherman himself he knew and was prepared to share his understanding in a very friendly and easy way . He was prepared to take us into his family home and feed his guests with some of the families local produce green sparkly wine and oysters, fantastic !!
