Additional Information

If you find yourself in the Algarve, we highly recommend trying out a guided bicycle ride around Ria Formosa.

The journey commences in the city of Faro, from where we pedal through the Ria Formosa Natural Park, headed towards Faro Island.

Enjoy the leisurely bike ride with a savvy guide while drinking in the variety of nearby landscapes, with ample opportunities for sightseeing and capturing memories of the Algarve.

This cycling route is packed with fascinating sites like the saltpans, where we pause for some birdwatching and unwinding. We cycle close to Faro Airport, pausing occasionally to admire the marshlands of the Ria Formosa with its myriad channels and islets.

The grand finale is when we reach Praia de Faro, providing you with time to unwind at the beach or grab a refreshing beverage on a terrace while gazing at the sea.

And now, we start the ride back to Faro along this scenic coastline, keeping an eye out for the delightful surprises the Ria Formosa has in store.

Maleficent bicycle rental - Dramatic experience Bicycles not ready - treated unfairly - no service - asked for a discount after 1 hour of waiting, which was categorically refused, followed by immediate cancellation of the rental.

Happy the let customers wait for hours - I rented a bike, but the office was closed all afternoon and staff apparently just shows up at closing, despite advertising 9-18 opening hours. I had to chase them down and then wait for forever before I could return my bike. Not how I want to spend my vacation - waiting around for people happily taking your money and then not bothering to man their office.
