Nice trip

Very cozy and get out in the park and get professional information. Could be a little more obvious maybe a microphone so that everyone in the boat heard everything. Was unfortunately fog with it is not something the host gets done with.

Antonio made it special

There is definitely something magical about watching the sun dip behind the horizon after a blisteringly hot day on the Algarve. The whole trip was relaxed and delightful. Couldn’t fault the experience.

A "must do" quick excursion when in Faro!

Absolutely amazing trip! We had previously done the Islands half day trip with this company and decided to do the sunset tour. From booking with Miguel Jesus to captain Ricardo, the whole experience was fabulous. Pack a bottle for a sunset toast! And a camera for the photos. Quick stop off on Deserta Island, before returning to watch the sun setting over paradise. Ricardo was knowledgeable and I lost count of the languages he was speaking! The highlight must have been entering the marina at high tide... a truly memorable trip - Thank you ☺️🤗
