X47V+77 Faro - Next to our Algarve Coast we have the Atlantic Ocean, where we can get away from Human life and discover Wildlife. In this Combi-Tour we have the privilege of being able to watch dolphins and observe seabirds as well as discover 2 islands: Ilha Deserta and Ilha do Farol.
The tour will last approximately 4h00, starting from Faro at 8h30 with the crossing of the Ria Formosa channels to Cabo de Santa Maria, which is described by the junction of the Waters.
We sail in the Ocean to discover Dolphins and other similar species.
Then we return to the Ria Formosa Natural Park where we stop at Ilha do Farol to be able to visit the small community around the Farol. We resume navigation to Ilha Deserta where you can bathe in its crystalline waters.
Finally, we return to the starting point with a completely different scenario, as the beauty of the Ria Formosa changes according to the tides!

awesome - We loved our boat trip with Laurent Martins and Angelo!
Christelle was very understanding and so kind.
We were lucky to see a lot of dolphins that day as well as a whale (which is so rare)!!
I recommend this activity with your eyes closed!

Great activity - This activity was great, we saw so many dolphins and the 2 stops at the islands were also really pretty. The guide Angelo was nice, i dont speak portuguese so he translated the information to me in english, which was appreciated. Really worth it

I went for the second time and it was an experience that made me cry for more! - I recently had an amazing dolphin-watching tour that included stops at Ilha da Culatra and Ilha do Farol. The tour started with a fun and amazing boat ride, and soon we were surrounded by playful dolphins – a truly mesmerizing sight. Our first stop, Ilha da Culatra, was peaceful and beautiful, with an amazing and calm beach. After exploring, we moved on to Ilha do Farol, where the beach was beautiful with crystal clear water and a charming village. Relaxing on the island’s beaches was the perfect way to end the day. This tour is a must-do for anyone looking for a blend of wildlife, nature, and relaxation!

Faro Islands and cataplana day - We took many photos of great views. The catamaran skipper Sergio, very pleasant, pleasant and friendly, and his explanations about the islands and the fauna, have been very interesting, making the trip short. He also recommended a restaurant called Maresia for lunch, where we tasted the typical Portuguese dish from the Algarve area, called cataplana, which is a delight.
