Fisherman's tour - Very enjoyable tour. Capt Vincent was lovely and very informative. I would recommend this trip if you don't want to spend too long on a boat. We had 30mins to walk around the island of Culatra. Small group made it even better. Definitely use this company again

Concert at Ria Formosa - Come and meet this small Paradise that is the Natural Park of Ria Formosa. Translucent waters accompanied by the unique sounds of the birds that visit us and make us feel part of this concert. The sympathy and knowledge of the professionals who take us on this unique tour.

A beautiful boat trip - It is a very nice trip, our guide Joao majisimo, making a huge effort trying to speak Spanish and explaining all the things of interest, very punctual, with many options to choose the route, highly recommended.

Nice tour - but a bit more information and story telling, please - The tour was very well organized, punctual, the guide/captain friendly and driving safely. We did already several tours with other "competitors", and we missed more critical information about what is really going on in this area, e.g. the recent conflict in the mussel plantations (French oyster producers wanted to "buy" almost the whole area, and were stopped by a wide protest movement of smallholders), the partly critical ecological situation of the area, , etc. But maybe, the average tourist doesn't want to know too much about this reality beyond the nice landscapes..
