Beautiful excursion - Nice tour with a very nice guide (Yoas). Small group and the guide/captain gets to know each participant a bit and also likes to give tips for the rest of the holiday.

Joao was a very good guide!! - We had an amazing boat tour with guide João in Faro! 🚤☀️ He took us around several beautiful islands and shared interesting stories and facts along the way. His enthusiasm and hospitality made the experience truly unforgettable. João made us feel very welcome and took his time to show us the best spots.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Faro and the islands from the water. Thank you João, we had such a great time! 🙌🌴🐚

Such a great trip! - What a beautiful experience and a great way to see more of Faro. Pedro was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable, providing recommendations on what to do for the rest of our holiday and chatting with all of the passengers.
The two islands we went to were gorgeous, we'd recommend going for a swim and really making the most of your time on each island. The three hours went by very fast as we were having such a great time.
We'd book this again if we are ever in the area :)

Faro island tour with Capitain Jean! - Boat trip with captain Jean/Jan/Giovanni!
We had a great time with -I think- the most enthusiastic captain of the Faro islands. We enjoyed visiting the islands as well as the explanation of the fauna and flora. We had some hard winds at the start and the captain was very responsible regarding safety measurements, we felt very safe!
