We did an excursion as a group of 13 friends, for which they provided a boat exclusively for us. Our captain was Manuel, and he was totally proper, educational, and very professional. For that very reason, we totally recommend this excursion
Everything was very good; I would do it again and it is highly recommended
Perfect expérience with Manuel, who loves his environnement and is willing to share with his hosto. The boat trip is wonferful & Culatra island is the fishermans paradise. Good French speaker also. Thank you !
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Manuel. He truly loves the Ria Formosa and Culatra Island, and he always enjoys sharing his passion and local knowledge with our guests. Thank you as well for your kind words about his French. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another unforgettable trip. CulatraTours Team
The guy we bought tickets from was clearly knowledgeable about the area and not pushy to sell. The skipper Fernando had lived in Olaho all his life and was passionate about the area and its wildlife and sustainability. The five hour trip was timed perfectly, amazing waters to swim in, and a fantastic lunch at Culatra. More swimming in the afternoon. I thought 5 hours might be too long but the time flew. Can't remember the resturant name but it was recommended by Fernando .
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed every part of your day with us. Fernando is truly passionate about the Ria Formosa, its wildlife and the local way of life, so it's fantastic to know that his enthusiasm made your trip even more special. It's also great to hear that you enjoyed the swimming stops and had such a lovely lunch on Culatra Island. Five hours really do fly by when you're surrounded by such beautiful scenery. We hope to welcome you back on board the next time you visit the Algarve. CulatraTours Team
