just to relax on the water in a silent boat and enjoy the clear skies/calm water was the best part of the trip. Luis was knowledgeable and friendly and we had a great trip seeing spoonbills, flamingos, ducks, oyster beds, and egrets. But, truthfully, I'd do it again simply to sit on the water and enjoy the stress-free environment.
Great birdwatching trip

Tres bonne activité à faire en couple ou en famille. Le bateau électrique est un bon moyen pour écouter le chant des oiseaux et pour s’approcher au plus près
Amazing experience and tour guide!

We’ve seen amazing birds and the tour guide fascinated us with his knowledge about the area and the different species of birds. Totally best way to explore Ria Formosa!
Highly recommend this boat bird watching tour

Brilliant private two and a half boat tour this morning. Extremely knowledgeable guide. Saw lots of birds including Osprey, Shearwater, Egret, Grey plover, Tern, Spoonbill. Highly recommended.
Great bird-viewing from quiet solar boat.

The Eco-Friendly Solar Boat Tour by Lands was superb. The boat quietly glides along and we saw so many birds in the salt marshes. Eight people max with binocs for those who don't have their own. There was a huge range of waders, feeding spoonbills, good sightings of osprey, marsh harrier, kestrel...no shearwater but we did well. November is a great month and we were fortunate to be returning at lowish tide. Can thoroughly recommend for anyone interested in birds. PS it is cold in the boat so take warm, windproof clothing.
