Very enjoyable tour. Capt Vincent was lovely and very informative. I would recommend this trip if you don't want to spend too long on a boat. We had 30mins to walk around the island of Culatra. Small group made it even better. Definitely use this company again

Avoid if you can! For a glass bottom kayak they with held the 50 e deposit for a scratch clearly done earlier.- I will withhold tips from other Portuguese establishments to the same value, and I am a good tipper, so they will effectively be stealing from themselves- other Portuguese. Pity but there you are!

This is a really good tour and well worth the €20. Jaoa gave a informative commentary. Definitely recommend

We did a dolphin trip today, Filipe was amazing and helpful and booked and organised the whole thing for me and even arranged us to be collected from Armona island where we're staying, Roberto and Nicolau on the boat were really helpful and friendly, within 20 mins we were with the dolphins and stayed for a while. We've done about 5 different dolphin trips and this was by far the best.

We had a memorable day on this 4 hour trip which took in Farol,Culatra and Armona islands. Joao and the team were very informative and made it such a great experience. Visiting the islands was like stepping back in time,so laid back,no traffic and fabulous crystal clear water for swimming. Would highly recommend this trip.

The boat trip - it was very enjoyable; the skipper was very professional, informative and attentive to safety. It was very good value for money.

We opted for the water taxi to take us to Homem Nu beach, a ticket which costs 25 euros per couple. After offloading a group on Barra Velha, the pilot advanced about 200 meters and said this was our stop. 5 euros extra for something you could walk for two minutes in foot. He excused himself with the low tide, and apologized. We scheduled a return for 4 PM, a couple that came with us on the same boat scheduled to be picked up at 2 PM. They waited for two hours for a boat to come, on a totally different place from the one we were told was the pickup point. We joined them and the group that got off at Barra Velha and only arrived at 4.30PM. The phone number on the ride ticket, was not answered, even after dozens of attempts. The boat pilot was rude when we complained. We wrote on the complaints book, while an employee tried to excuse this shoddy service by saying it happens all the time and that we were right. She also said that the phone number is useless, which is rich as they print it on the ticket saying "call us if you wish to reschedule pickup time". A poor experience, and too many excuses.

The tour was very well organized, punctual, the guide/captain friendly and driving safely. We did already several tours with other "competitors", and we missed more critical information about what is really going on in this area, e.g. the recent conflict in the mussel plantations (French oyster producers wanted to "buy" almost the whole area, and were stopped by a wide protest movement of smallholders), the partly critical ecological situation of the area, , etc. But maybe, the average tourist doesn't want to know too much about this reality beyond the nice landscapes..

Booked at the Real Marina Hotel. Lucky weather was beautiful. Four hour trip. Beautiful in every way. Our guide Danial was excellent and looked after us all very well. We hope to book again in the summer.

An excellent afternoon. Would highly recommend this trip. Trip was booked via Real Marina Hotel & Spa by Filip, who also met us quay side prior to boarding. Our guide was fluent in 5 languages and gave a detailed commentary about the islands. Value for money. Excellent- Well Done !!!!!

Beautiful scenery, amazing staff. Well worth the money. All that on Xmas day with only few passengers on board, they did it. Muito obrigado

We paid 60 euro (CASH! an important factor to remember here) to take a boat through the Ria Formosa natural park to see the flamingoes along with 2 other families, one German with a young son and the other a French family, who had 2 very young children and another single woman traveller. The tour started at 3.00pm (an hour earlier than usual our skipper (later) told us, so that the company could fit in another booking) and initially the skipper was very unhappy about having to go out again. After a 20 minute wait to board the boat, without so much as a hello and welcome, whilst he clearly got over his hump, we were off! He was very informative but after we pulled up alongside the area where the flamingoes were, it became apparent that unless we could extremely long legs and were fortunate to benefit from a very high tide, that there was no way we could ever hope to see inside the flamingo area. We ended up going to Tavira for half an hour to wait for the 'tide to change' and then heading back out again. The skipper pulled the boat up on the wrong side of the channel, driving the boat up onto the rocks and in the end asking each of us to step up on the front section of the boat, with a pair of binoculars to strain to see the birds in the distance... we would have been better off watching flamingoes on a TV! It was dangerous, the boats passing were clearly unhappy with what we were doing and when we returned to shore, we were told we were not getting our money back. We had seen the flamingoes! Conveniently, we all paid CASH, were given no receipt, and the poor girl in the booth by the shore had to take our group's complaints whilst NO-ONE FROM THE 'OFFICE' OR CUSTOMER SERVICE would speak us. A right roy rip-off!! Give this a wide berth!

Found this trip as a good option with our 9-y-o grandson on our last morning, en route to the airport. Rui was a friendly and informative guide, and we saw aspects of local life we would otherwise have missed. Recommended.
