We were very lucky to have the chance, that no other guest had booked in this time of your, so we had the alert observing eye and the great knowledge of Francesco all for ourselves. As I was keen mainly to see and distinguish the waders, he pointed them out to me and shared his knowledge about their behaviour and way of living.
For birders, a boat tour in Ria Formosa is not to be missed!
Top expérience, visite guidée dans Rio Formosa pour découvrir lés oiseaux qui étaient au rdv en nombre et en diversité. Le tout sublimé par le silence du bateau à moteur électrique. Guide sympa et à l’écoute, je recommande
We’ve seen amazing birds and the tour guide fascinated us with his knowledge about the area and the different species of birds. Totally best way to explore Ria Formosa!
Tres bonne activité à faire en couple ou en famille. Le bateau électrique est un bon moyen pour écouter le chant des oiseaux et pour s’approcher au plus près
The tour guide was very informative and friendly, great way to see and learn about the natural park.
