Best tour I've had! I HIGHLY recommend.
Mzmouze, 23-09-2022
This was one of the best tours we've ever taken and we've traveled all over the world. Our guide Guillermo was amazing and took us off the beaten track to experience real Portugal and Portuguese food. We stopped on a little non-tourist island and visited a small local bar where we tasted some local delicacies, including octopus eggs! Then later we had an amazing lunch - best fish I've had in Portugal! We also had a chance to get to know the others on the tour. The group was small and we made new friends. I would 110% recommend this tour! Thank you Guilhermo!
Out of the way…

It was a great experience and having one of a kind Captain, the would-have-been famous soccer player, William was the difference!! Really liked the small, simple but special interactions with the people on the island. Keep it up!!
Nice experience

The whole activity was thoroughly enjoyable. Diogo piloted our boat & showed us places of interest: very lovely man.

Deserta was my favourite part of the trip. It was a beautiful island with enough time on the excursion to swim and walk along the coast.
Three island trip
Max G, 20-09-2022
Excellent excursion. We took the three island trip. The very competent Captain was helpful and knowledgable. All three islands were different but all interesting to stroll around. Ample time for a drink on one, lunch on another and a swim off the beautiful beach on the uninhabited one.
Definitely worth it.
A must go tour when in or around Faro

Great day exploring Rio Formosa
Jon P, 08-11-2022
We had a great day exploring the islands of the Rio Formosa by boat. Our guide (William) was a great captain and he was very welcoming, passionate and informative about showing us around the area where he grew up.
The islands we visited were beautiful and a completely different experience to the other exploring we'd done by car in the previous days. Some of the most delicious fresh fish I've ever eaten — straight off the boat.
I'd highly recommend the trip if you're a couple, a group of friends or a family.
The boat was all very safe with modern life jackets and the booking process and communication from Carlos was all great too.
Thank you!
good customer service

We did not tour with this company because of time constraints and schedule but wanted to relay our great experience with Maurice with the Culatra tours in Olhao.
He very kindly arranged for a water taxi for us to Armona and back, walking us to the dock where the taxi arrived. Our taxi boat waited for us for an hour and 10 minutes while we walked around Armona.
Fantastic day out on Ria Formosa

Great way to enjoy the waterways around Ria Formosa. Small, and fast, boat made it feel like a personal experience, and enabled us to see a lot of the area. Our captain, Jose, kept us entertained with interesting facts about the places we visited. Easily the best day out we had during our week.
