While not great bird watchers we really enjoyed our hour and a half around the lagoon. Henrique couldn't have been more helpful. Pointing out and naming the birds and slowing everytime there was an opportunity to see something a little special. I won't forget the sight on hundreds of crabs waving from the mudflats! We contacted via the website link... More

Tavira is the best place to visit in the entire Algarve and a boat tour from the town center to the beach is just fantastic. We rented a house in the Quinta Do Perogil estate and it is the best area in the entire town. Cant wait to go back.!!

We booked a day trip to Tavira beach through our hotel (the Porta Nova) and thought it great value at €43 for return water taxi, welcome drink, sunloungers, parasols and beach massage for two people. The beach is huge with miles of white sand And breakers crying out to be surfed on. There were plenty of places to get food... More
