We did the five hour boat tour with lunch and swimming at two different spots. Daniel is a very knowledgeable and courteous skipper who is always there to answer your questions and give you a helping hand getting in and out of the boat. Clean and silent boat that brings you to the most beautiful spots around Olhao in the Ria Formosa. Recommended!

We had a 2 hour tour and all loved it. Our skipper Daniel was excellent, friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. Also very attentive as my husband has walking difficulties. We have been many times to Olhao (and will go again) and thought we knew everything there was to know about the Ria Formosa but Daniel proved us wrong giving us a lot of new information. It was a great end to our holiday. I thoroughly recommend a trip with Sabino.

We had an fantastic and informative tour. Ricardo was a great skipper who could answer all the questions. There was even a stopover on a fantastic beach on an island. Highly recommended!

Was not quite sure what to expect but what an amazing day. We went as a group of 9 made up of 2 families and we all agreed it was the best day of our holiday. Ricardo our joint skipper and tour guide was absolutely brilliant, gave us so much information and was able to answer any questions we asked. He was extremely friendly, courteous and helpful at all times and it was like he was part of our group. I would absolutely definitely recommend this company and particularly Ricardo and if we ever come back will be using them again.

Wonderful boat tour. The guide was friendly, and attentive. He took us where we needed to go. We are a family of 5 and it takes us a while to get out of the house. We were 20 minutes late but they were very nice, responsive and understanding! Although, we were late, they still give us more than 2 hours your (it was supposed to be 10-12, but we started at 1030 and ended at 1245) Definitely recommend.
