Lovely relaxing boat trip

We did this trip a few days ago. We had a five month old baby with us and five adults. The guide Adolpho was very good. He took us to the deserted island where we walked, swam and had a drink in the cafe. We were able to take as long as we wanted. He then took us to the other island where we had a walk around and a snack. Again he didn't rush us. Then we sailed back. It was a lovely day

We booked the private tour with 2 island stops. Our guide was Oscar who was excellent and very informative. We got 1 hour on the first island which was nice but not enough time to eat and explore then 2 hours on the second which was far too long. Very crowded not much to do so we came home an hour only. Save yourself the money and get a water taxi. So much cheaper. We wouldn't do this again.

Great experience near Faro

Great experience! 1.Island totally natural and empty, just a little too little time to look at everything better. The 2nd island was more inhabited and surrounded by many beautiful plants. The 3rd island had a lot to offer and also a super beautiful and almost deserted beach to offer. Furthermore, we received a lot of great information during the boat tour. Thanks to Captain John for the great experience and also great information!
