What to expect
Ilha Deserta
30m
The navigation channels of the Ria Formosa are subject to tides, so we cruise to Desert Island via alternative routes depending on the tide. At high tide, we access the western tip of the island, its most ‘wildest’ part ‘The Sun's Edge’. At low tide, the tour heads to the eastern end of the island, where the Faro-Olhão inlet is located, the privileged access point to the Ria Formosa from the sea. This is also where the prestigious Estaminé restaurant and the well-known Shell Beach are located. In this version, the boat stops at the easternmost point of Ilha Deserta and also at Vila do Farol 'Lighhouse Village' - Culatra Island.
15m
At Praia de Faro or “Ilha de Faro”, there will be a timely stop to set foot on dry land, where you can have an ice-cream or simply take a look at the sea, which is just a stone's throw away.
