Explore the charming traditional market of Olhão with its variety of fresh fish and seafood! Discover the Ria Formosa Natural Park on a boat trip around the islands. Discover its fauna, flora, secrets and curiosities. There will be a stop on one of the islands where suggestions for typical places for lunch will be given, which is not included in the tour.

Nature and local area

It was really beautiful and unforgettable. We visited 2 places. The first one was a natuer lagoon, and another one is a local island, where fishermans are living. The time during the boat was not long so we did not get bord. At the end we were able to walk around old town of Faro.

Operator response

We were immensely happy to know that you really enjoyed your trip to the Ria Formosa and that you didn't find it boring. It is a magnificent place to visit, it is pure nature at its best. We hope to see you again very soon to do other activities with Zebra. A big thank you on behalf of the entire Zebra Safari Tours team.
