It was a spectacular tour, which exceeded all expectations, starting with the beauty of this natural wealth that is our Ria Formosa, passing by the kindness of Receptionist Lara who received us with an unmatched sympathy and availability, as well as from Mr. Ricardo Badalo who leads the company and who knows how to form and build a magnificent team. Congratulations are extensive to the entire “invisible” team that allows everything to run for the best. The crew was fantastic: Sílvia and Rodrigo make up an excellent team. They learned to show the beauty and richness of the Ria Formosa and explained everything in detail, with a lot of knowledge of the locations and the scientific issues of the fauna, flora and mariscating activities. They showed a lot of professionalism, and also readiness to meet our interests, namely in terms of the use of time at the level of stay in the various locations, combining the times and places for food and drinks, enjoying the esplanades with superb views. We had the privilege of having lunch at the Restaurant “À do João” on Farol Island, which is recommended, and enjoying time on the beach! On the other hand, Rodrigo and Sílvia, disseminated with great interest all of your activities, of which we can come to enjoy, including the Boats Casa that are extraordinary! The equipment is in very good condition and the crew led with mastery the boat which made us feel safe, even for those who went with the most fear I had already benefited from your business service. A private tour was organized for about 50 workers and was very good. Now I wanted to go with my family to Ria Formosa and, with the previous experience, I could only be with you. We were 8 adults and a child on the whole day tour on the holiday of June 4, 2026. Everybody loved it. Those who haven’t been to your walks don’t know what they’re missing! Congratulations and congratulations. Luis Sardinia and Nalva Portugal.

We had a wonderful day with Silvia and her young colleague. We saw a lot, were made aware of the special features of the country and the various islands, and it was both relaxing and exciting at the same time. Thank you for that. Would book the tour again.

Incompetent staff, disorganised rabble. The departure point is shared with lots of other boat trips and tours. We were told to board the boat at 10.30 and did as indicated only to be dropped off on the beach opposite. Another couple with children were also marooned like us but after waiting 30 minutes we were picked up and told we had taken the wrong boat. We were refused a refund. AVOID

The 1Day tour has been as planned. Very comprehensive of the major islands and not turistic at all. We are a family of 4 people and totally by chance we had the boat only for us. Luca has been very informative and discrete, giving guidance and directions and leaving time to stay the 4 of us. The parts of the islands we visited were almost desert, far from the touristic traffic and always safe. 5 stars tour since Luca was excellent as driver and guide, boarding and off-boarding was quick and easy and on time. Sea was calm and with 1 day we could appreciate the tides high in the morning, 10am low in the afternoon, 5.30pm.

Fuseta is a small fishing town, but we also loved the river area and the small island, everything natural...

When you arrive at the boat dock, you have to place a turnstile, which is ridiculous to say the least, metro turnstiles are no longer enough when we go to work. It is set up on top of a supposed green space, with an irrigation system and everything. They do things anyway. And at lunch time there is only one boat operating. If this is a public service, at the very least it is making fun of our taxes!

Activity to do, it will allow you to see beautiful islands, it is a 4h excursion with 2 stops on historical islands of Portugal. Leticia, our guide, accompanied us, was very friendly and smiling, and explained the history of each island well during the whole journey. A very affordable price for a quality excursion!
