Lovely half day trip

Published on Jul, 2024

A lovely half-day boat trip around the nature reserve surrounding Faro. Filipe was our captain for the trip and was very friendly and knowledgeable as he shared lots of information about the area showing us much of the wildlife on show An excellent trip that took in two stops the first off a quiet beach where swimming was available the second at a little island with one or two lovely restaurants for fresh fish. The only thing that could’ve improved the trip would’ve been if it was longer!

Great experience
