Ria Formosa - Boat trip to the 3 Islands: Armona | Culatra Island | Lighthouse
Description
Your Guide will explain the Ria Formosa and the islands to you throughout the tour and will help with everything you need. During the stops, all customers are free, for the time stipulated by the captain. During the boat tour you will not feel nausea, since we sail only in the interior of the Ria Formosa. Choose between the morning or afternoon tour, with the afternoon option including sunset! In the summer, we recommend the afternoon tour, as the islands are less busy, the temperature is more pleasant and excellent for swimming. The itinerary is the same, with the only difference that we spend less time in Culatra because there is no lunch, but you can eat on the islands if you want. Parages: - 1st Stop - Farol Island ( 1h00 ) - 2nd Stop : Ilha da Culatra ( 2H00 ) , stop for lunch , with several restaurants on the island or can bring food if so preferred. - 3rd Stop - Desert Beach or Armona Island (1h00) ⚡️ The 15h45 option lasts until sunset - 4h00 ⚡️

Great tour. Our guide was great and funny. Enjoyed the tour. Wasn’t extraordinary but still worthwhile and something I’d definitely do if going to the region. Might consider the wildlife spotting version.
Very efficient and pleasant boat tour. The skipper was friendly and good fun. The timings were good on the different islands.
We loved everything. Our guide Iván was super attentive at all times, giving all kinds of explanations, and we were also able to see the sunset. An excellent experience.
We had an amazing time exploring Ria Formosa! We especially loved visiting Culatra Island and Ilha Deserta. The boat tour was fantastic, and our guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this tour!
Very nice boattrip, the guide was fantastic, funny, lots of info about the islands
Great experience. Would have liked a bit more time on the islands but understand for the price. If you’re in the area I believe this is a good way to spend half a day
Great tour where we got to see the 3 islands. It was lovely with the sunset
A nice, very pleasant walk, top-notch guide
The experience was very nice... The discovery of another world, completely apart... Don't forget your towel to sunbathe on the first island.
Fabulous tour with fabulous guides. A memorable experience, from the landscapes, to the shared information and the sympathy of Sergio and Luis. Thanks for the restaurant and ice cream tip! Both locations 5*. I'm going to repeat everything, now to the end of the afternoon to see everything in another light. See you soon, from the "tugas" of the cell phone dive
