Jorge and Mario were great guides/skippers and provided us with the necessary background information. We had a great time watching flamingoes, herons, white spoonbills and a sea eagle. Also, it was very interesting to watch the fishermen collecting oysters. Thank you so much for this experience!

Sado Bird Watching Tour

At the agreed time, we'll meet at the Mercado do Livramento in Setúbal and head to the Sado Estuary in search of the birds that inhabit this spectacular protected area in the centre of Portugal.

During the trip, we'll walk around the Sado Estuary with our eyes on the sky and, of course, on the water. One of the most spectacular moments will be when we spot the famous flamingos that live in this nature reserve.

On the boat ride, we'll have the chance to see over 250 species that inhabit the Sado estuary, both in the air and on the water. Thanks to our expert guide you'll learn all about the vast range of species.

After the trip, we'll return to the starting point where we'll end the activity.

Muy interesante e ilustrativa gracias a Alex, nuestro guía. Tuvimos la gran suerte de ver todo tipo de aves que pueblan la zona. A destacar los flamencos rosas y los pico-espatulas, además de las garzas. Estábamos muy bien equipados con binoculares individuales y otro tipo telescopio de mayor potencia que permitía apreciar con más detalle el colorido de las aves. Translate this opinion into English.

Very interesting and informative thanks to Alex, our guide. We were very lucky to see all kinds of birds that inhabit the area. Particularly noteworthy were the pink flamingos and the spoonbills, as well as the herons. We were very well equipped with individual binoculars and another type of telescope with greater power that allowed us to appreciate the colors of the birds in more detail. Opinion translated.
