Sunset tour with a marine biologist - We had a great sunset tour with our guide Thomas who drew from his vast knowledge of marine biology to share lots of interesting information about the local ecosystem in a way that was easy to understand. We would highly recommend the sunset tour as it is a great way to see Faro from the water, learn something new and also avoid getting too much sun
