Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Actually took this boat from Olhao. Pedro ? I think was our captain and took us on a 3 hour tour of the Formosa. He was very knowledgable and provided interesting information all the time- the boat was good and the places he took us too were well worth it ! Highly recommended- the boat goes from the new marina.

We spent a really sunny afternoon with 6 other passengers and a guide bobbing from island to island. Some had a cafe or restaurant but most had very little apart from a beach. A lovely afternoon to end our trip.

My wife and I did the 2-hours birdswatching tour. Our guide Francisco gave us a lot of information about local birds and their habitat with a funny twist. With the provided binoculars we were able to see many different birds and we had lots of fun. We can recommend this tour to everyone interested in nature and the Rio Formosa national park.

We had en excellent boat trip with Carlos, departing from the harbour of Olhão. He explained about the nature, the influence of the tide, and interesting historical buildings, societies, and vessels that we passed by. Carlos kept up the good mood even though he had received some confusing directions from his head office. Anyway, we were not bothered by that. First, we went to the island of Armona to enjoy the beach while Carlos fueled the boat. Then we went on to Ilha Da Culatra to have a nice lunch at a fish restaurant, and Carlos explained about the different fish species on the menu. Later we sailed to a third island to do some bathing at an almost deserted sandy beach. Really nice place. It was a beautiful day, showing the special nature of the Ria Formosa natural park.
