Embark on a private boat tour that combines the beauty of the Ria Formosa Islands with the thrill of dolphin watching for a truly unforgettable experience. Witness dolphins in their natural habitat, capture unforgettable moments with these amazing creatures, and explore the stunning islands of Deserta, Culatra, and Farol.
The tour begins with a dolphin-watching excursion outside the bar, heading into the Faro area and into the serene waters of the Ria Formosa. Along the way, we’ll make three stops, each offering unique opportunities to explore the islands and enjoy the rich biodiversity of this natural wonder.
On Deserta Island, take a refreshing swim in the wild nature or go for a scenic walk along its pristine coastline. It’s one of the best spots in Ria Formosa for relaxation and nature immersion.
Culatra Island offers the picturesque Culatra Lighthouse and a charming village filled with typical houses decorated with gardens and materials from the sea. Take a stroll through the village and enjoy the magnificent Farol Beach—where you can swim in the Atlantic Ocean.
The final stop includes a lunch break on Culatra Island, with flexibility to bring your own picnic or enjoy a meal at one of the local restaurants (food not included in the tour price).

NO. It is very important to be aware that this is a 100% natural tour in the open wild and not a zoo! Therefore we can never guarantee for sure that cetaceans will be sighted, but we can promise we will do our best to find them.
