Experience a relaxed journey through the heart of the Ria Formosa Natural Park aboard a comfortable small-group catamaran, surrounded by calm waters, open skies, and ever-changing coastal scenery. Glide through winding channels where birds soar overhead, oyster farms line the lagoon, and traditional island life blends seamlessly with untouched nature, creating a peaceful and visually rich Algarve escape.
Discover the contrasting charm of Farol Island and Deserta Island, each offering a different expression of the region’s coastal beauty. Learn about local wildlife, maritime traditions, and island culture from an expert guide, then explore quiet beaches, village paths, and natural landscapes that showcase why Ria Formosa is considered one of Portugal’s most treasured natural wonders.
