What To Expect

Parque Natural da Ria Formosa

On this 3 hour private charter, the crew is at your disposal. You will travel along the channels of the Ria Formosa and observe the natural landscapes. There are places with natural inlets with crystal waters and golden sandy beaches, perfect for swimming, snorkeling and walking. You can choose for a more relaxing tour and unwind, or you can visit the picturesque fishing villages of Culatra and Farol (the Lighthouse Village - the southernmost point in Portugal), which offer an authentic insight into local life. On the full-day private charter, we’ll also have SUP boards available, and you can decide to have lunch at traditional restaurants to try the local gastronomy. Particularly in the summer, its beaches and restaurants are an attraction for many visitors.
