Trustworthy & great experience!!

I did the Ria Formosa boat trip and was pleasantly surprised: the staff was very kind and communicated well with us before the tour, during and after. Special thanks to Miguel Jesus, Antonio and Sandra, for your excellent service. Our local tour guide spoke fluent English, Spanish and French and took us in a very comfortable boat to two Islands that are not accessible by land. Both looked like a piece of paradise, with clear waters, golden sand beaches and still in an almost virgin state. I strongly recommend the trip, it was fun and interesting and we laughed so much!

Fab Boat Trip

Fabulous day out on the boat. Our guide, Miguel was so knowledgeable and explained about all the nature. The boat was comfortable and out on the water so peaceful. The stop at the two islands were fab too. I highly recommend this trip. One of the best things we did in Portugal.

Brilliant Half Day Boat Tour

Took the Half Day Islands Tour to Farol and Deserta. Our guide Miguel (aka Tom Cruise/Maverick for his navigation skills) was very informative and entertaining throughout. The tour lasted four hours, including a 1.5hr stop at the second island, which was plenty for food and drinks. Having checked out each of the rival boat tours we selected islands4you as offering the best deal, and would definitely recommend them based on this tour, and especially to anyone who enjoys birdwatching. Their ticket office is a portacabin at the Marina, in front of the hotel Eva Senses.
