Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: iSea Yachting, Faro Marina - Faro, Yacht Club, 8000-000 Faro, Portugal
We will take you through the Wonderfull Channels and to the most beautiful desert beaches and secret spots
Stop At: Ria Formosa Natural Park, Olhao Portugal
The Ria Formosa lagoon, located in the Algarve, in southern Portugal, is a system of barrier islands that communicates with the sea through six inlets. Five of these inlets are natural and have mobility characteristics. The sixth is an artificial inlet that was opened with the purpose of allowing easier access to the port of Faro.
Within the Ria Formosa system, different and sometimes antagonistic uses may be found. Part of the system is a Natural Park but Ria Formosa also plays an important role in the region's economy. Beyond the tourist use the system also supports other economic activities like seafood farms (including grooved carpet shell harvesting) and the port of Faro.
The Ria Formosa is also a designated Natural Park of over 170 km² and a stopping place for hundreds of different birds during the spring and autumn migratory periods.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Ilha Deserta, Santa Cruz, Faro 8005-554 Portugal
Ilha Deserta (also known as Ilha da Barreta) is an island near Faro. Literally, Ilha Deserta means Deserted Island. This pretty much describes the island, since there are no people who live on this island permanently. The island is famous for its beautiful beach and unspoiled nature. It is truly a paradise in the Algarve.
Duration: 20 minutes

Reviews
Juan, was a very friendly host. The day we went it was quite windy, therefore not many birds to be seen, just some Storks and Seagulls. Upside was, more waves! The kids and me loved the trip, swimming in the sea at desert island, ice cream at the light house. Best of all is the speed boat ;-)
