Description

The ideal tour to get to know a lot about the Ria Formosa, and visit the island of Culatra, a beautiful fishing community that inhabits about 1000 people all year round, which will be an island producing its own energy by 2030! The houses are typical and traditions and customs predominate, a unique place in the world! There are several infrastructures and restaurants where you will have the opportunity to taste and delight yourself with typical dishes from traditional restaurants. With the possibility of booking a table or having a Picnic, there are several options to choose from! Then we will enjoy, for many, the best deserted beach in the Algarve, which is located at the end of Culatra Island, which separates the dark blue of the Atlantic Ocean and the clear blue of the Ria Formosa, where you will have the opportunity to dive, swim and take unique photos! A true paradise! In case it is out of season , we will visit the magnificent Ilha da Armona , where we will stop around 1h00 to explore the island !

Do this before you hire your own boat

We had planned to hire a boat for ourselves to drive, and went on this as a reconnaissance tour. We learnt a lot and decided not to hire our own boat! The tour was brilliant and informative and safe.

Ria Formosa Tour

We took the boat tour through the two islands of Ria Formosa and it was a wonderful time. Since the purchase of tickets and the entire tour, the team was impeccable. Repeat and I will recommend.

Recommend the 4 hour Culatra trip

Excellent boat trip to Culatra and one of the numerous sandbanks for sunbathing and swimming. Our guide and captain was very good and spoke great English, so we were able to appreciate all of the wonders of Ria Formosa. There were only eight of us on the boat so it had a personal touch about it too. Would certainly recommend to other couples in Olhao.
