We had an amazing 3-hour tour with Odyssey Boat Tours in Olhão, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Ivan, was exceptional passionate, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He showed us the most beautiful spots around the Ria Formosa, including the oyster farms, as well as the islands of Armona and Culatra. Ivan shared fascinating stories, made us feel completely comfortable, and created a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout the entire journey. Thanks to him, we were able to discover the region in a unique and unforgettable way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Olhão wonderful service, stunning views, and an experience we will remember for a long time! 🥰🥰
This was the highlight of our time in Olhão (and I absolutely loved the market). Guillermo was our guide and he is so knowledgeable, safety conscious, and most importantly cares about the beautiful area. Watching the sunset was a peaceful experience.
Great boat tour to some small islands on the south coast aria to “some” protected nature aria’s. Our guide Ivan “not the terrible” but the best in captain in town 🛟 guide us trough this coastline and explaned all about the beaches, protected aria’s the flood and the fissing histories off the people who used to live here when there were no tourist… Recommandabel 🛟🤩
Great fun, guide was lovely and full of interesting information
We booked online and did the 3 island full day sunset tour. We really enjoyed it and had a great captain who answered all our questions and provided very good commentary. All the islands were well worth a visit. The only reason for not giving 5 stars was we thought the sunset tour was going to last 5 hours but it only lasted 4 with one hour less on the fisherman's island than we thought. This should have been made clear on the website
We had a fantastic time, and our boat skipper was so nice and made the boat trip around the bay a joy. Highly recommend.
We had the most amazing boat tour and created unforgettable memories—not only the two of us, but also with our dog Chiara, who was warmly welcomed on board. 🐾 Filipe was absolutely wonderful and shared so much knowledge with us. Even after coming to the Algarve for over 30 years, I still learned new things thanks to him. His passion and kindness made the trip truly special. A big thank you as well to Suzanna, who was so kind and helpful to us from the start. The whole team made us feel cared for and at home. Something very important for us is also how a company treats the environment. Some tours may look attractive and inexpensive, but they don’t always show the same care for nature. When we visit such a beautiful place, it should be with respect—we are guests, not intruders. By choosing the right company, you not only enjoy the experience more deeply, but you also help preserve the environment and better understand what is truly at stake. We will definitely be back and will recommend your great company to our friends and family. Wishing you continued success—you really deserve it!
This is a really fun way to see Faro from another angle! Really recommend this
It was amazing! Very fun boat to ride in and was able to step onto a desert island and have a walk around! Our guide as well was very friendly and informative! Amazing experience!
Maria was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. You could tell how passionate she is about the local area, she adapted the tour for our own preferences which was great. Overall a brilliant experience I would definitely recommend.
