Ria Formosa Sunset Cruise

At 5.30 pm, we'll meet at the port of Olhao to start this boat trip along the Ria Formosa at sunset. We'll tour one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Portugal as we admire the sun go down over the horizon. Off we go!

During the tour, we'll talk about all the special characteristics of this significant wetland in the Algarve region. We'll learn about all the environmental characteristics while we see how the dark blue of the ocean merges with the clear water of the estuary, a spectacular contrast of colors!

We'll talk about its flora, but above all this area has a remarkable variety of wildlife - this area is renowned for its bird diversity. Keep your eyes sharp, because if you're lucky, you might be able to see some of the birds in this area.

Before ending this boat trip we'll first make a 40-minute stop at Culatra and then go to Praia Deserta for about the same amount of time. This is considered by many the best beach in the Algarve. Did you know that it's only accessible by boat? We'll continue our cruise bordering the island of Armona while we enjoy a refreshing drink. And the grand finale - we'll enjoy the wonderful sunset view on the Ria Formosa from the boat.

Lastly, we'll end this tour by returning to the port of Olhao after a two-and-a-half hour cruise along the Ria Formosa.
