A very memorable evening seeing the very interesting rocky Algarve coast from the sea. The sunset was rather beautiful too! The trip was great fun, the commentary informative and entertaining, the music just right. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
It was a very good tour. Many thanks to Ricardo for his wealth of information and great insights. Dinner and stops were great. Absolutely recommended.

The places are splendid, but the tour was ruined by people who were shouting and drinking continuously. The return trip was a nightmare with loud music and people shouting. Music and fun are fine, but only up to a certain limit. Nature has already been devastated by rampant real estate speculation; let us not add noise pollution as well. I do not know if all the tours are like this or if we were just unfortunate to find travel companions who were too loud and boisterous, but I truly would have preferred a more respectful tour. What a shame. A missed opportunity.
What a lovely trip, the boat was great with good facilities, very relaxing and very friendly staff
Hi Sally P! Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌅✨ We’re delighted you enjoyed the sunset boat trip, the relaxing atmosphere, and our friendly crew. We hope to welcome you again soon on another Ophelia Tour! Best regards, Ophelia
