Discover the birds and nature of Ria Formosa on this eco-friendly boat tour in the Algarve — a unique bird-watching experience aboard a solar-powered boat departing from Faro. Our boats provide a smooth and quiet ride, making them ideal for tours through the Algarve’s most beautiful nature park.
Lands was founded by trained biologists, so we have as much passion for looking after the environment as we do showing visitors its many wonders. We do everything we can to minimise disturbances and preserve this unique protected area while out on our Algarve boat trips.
This Algarve boat trip is a 2.5-hour birdwatching experience that allows you to learn more about the fauna and flora that call Ria Formosa home.
While on this Faro boat trip, you will watch the numerous birds and other wildlife in Ria Formosa without disturbing them. This park is a paradise for nature lovers, and as your guide is a trained and qualified biologist, they will help you understand and appreciate the enormous diversity in this beautiful area.
Explore canals and marshes to watch birds like the white stork, little egret, and spoonbill. As we head to Ria Formosa’s islands, there is a chance to approach shellfish farms and oyster beds. These economic activities attract countless birds, but your guide will also explain their importance to the local population. The boat then heads towards a paradisiacal place close to where the lagoon meets the sea — and here, we enjoy a stop.
On the way back to Faro, you can relax and enjoy the sounds of the surrounding nature in our smooth and silent boat. This small-group Algarve boat trip is a unique experience and the perfect eco-friendly way to explore Ria Formosa!

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.
