Join me for a classic boat cruise through the wonders of Ria Formosa Natural Park. Let me help you to learn more about the culture, nature and wildlife of this amazing paradise that both sustains and provides a home to people and wildlife alike. The emphasis of this tour is in the interaction between the visitors and the daily life of the locals, while enjoying nature on its purest beauty, all this upholding respect and being considered of the time of everyone involved in this experience. We'll visit a fisherman's village where we'll observe and learn about clam and oyster farming, the main economic activities besides fishing itself. There will also be time for a swim in crystal clear waters and desert beaches, or even a walk through the desert islands where you may feel really disconnected from all sorts of stress. You'll have the opportunity to enjoy delicacies of the local cuisine too, in one of the restaurants in the fisherman's island, or if you're not hungry, perhaps just get a snack!
·Once gathering in Olhão's main pier, we'll depart towards Saint Mary's Cape, passing by clam farms and oyster fields as well as the main feeding area for the migratory birds. ·Upon arrival at the sea bar between "Farol" village and the desert island of "Barreta", we'll choose in which one to stop for a visit, depending on your interests or/and local tide and wind conditions. ·Following that, we'll navigate to Culatra village (the fisherman's village), where we'll have time to lunch/snack in one of the local restaurants of your choice. ·We'll also go sightseeing and exploring the village. ·Departing from Culatra, the next stop, if the weather and/or tides allow, is in the desert area (beach) of Culatra island for a swim or just a little stroll around in nature. If not possible due to natural forces or as per your preference, another suggested alternative is a stop at Armona island. ·In the end, we'll navigate back to the mainland passing by the famous tide Mill and also the fishing harbor of Olhão.

Our vessel is a classic design "sloop" or "whaler" type boat, designed and built as a 150 person capacity certified lifeboat that served onboard a warship, being built with fireproof material and virtually unsinkable because of it's floating safeguards. It has now the official capacity of 50 persons. It was slightly modified so it presents more modern and comfortable amenities without losing it's safety capabilities and timeless design charm.
