Islands Tour: Half Day Cruise in Ria Formosa Natural Park

Discover and enjoy the diversity of islands, villages and beaches of the Ria Formosa Natural Park in Olhão.

Departing at 13:00h from Olhão, this tour goes through the canals in front of Olhão and to the Barrier Islands that protect the Ria Formosa.

Following our course we´ll make a stop for lunch in Culatra, a fisherman's vilage with nearly 1000 residents whose main economic activity is fishing. The Island has all the infrastructures you would expect in a normal town; shops, restaurants, school, church, medical office and so on. During the break you can go for a nice lunch of fresh fish in one of the typical restaurants or go for a nice pic-nic at the beach. Afterwards we'll continue the tour and go to Farol island where we'll do another stop. Then return to Olhão passing close to several tuna factories and to the fishing harbour.
