Ria Formosa
Our guide will meet you at Porta Nova Pier for a one-hour boat tour through the natural channels of Ria Formosa. The experience focuses on the unique nature of the Natural Park, with slow navigation to observe the landscape, the salt marshes and the local birdlife. As we reach the wider lagoon area, the boat will pause so you can enjoy the colours of the sunset reflecting on the water. It’s a calm and scenic end to the day, perfect for relaxing and taking photos before returning to Faro.
