Your Itinerary

Ilha de Armona

Armona island is one of the barriere islands in the natural park. With only 1 paved path and no vehicles, it is an oasis of charming little houses with beautiful gardens, long beaches and beautiful nature.

Praia dos Cavacos

(Pass by)

Our start and finish point. Easely accesable and with a large parking next to the beach. This small beach is surrounded by saltpans and ria Formosa's beautiful nature. It is in front of Armona Island with an easy crossing by kayak or SUP.

Ria Formosa Natural Park

(Pass by)

Serving as a transitional area between land and sea, the Ria Formosa is a vast lagoon system that stretches for 60 km along the coast of the eastern Algarve. It covers an area of approximately 18,000 hectares. It is the most important wetland zone in southern Portugal and features a wide variety of habitats: barrier islands, marshes, sandbanks, dunes, saltpans, freshwater and brackish lakes, water courses, scrubland and farmland; all of which is also propitious to a tremendous variety of fauna and flora. Classed as a wetland zone of international interest, the Ria Formosa is particularly noted for its birdlife. The area is a winter home for birds from north and central Europe, as well as being on migration routes. From a botanical point of view, the particular highlight is the vegetation on the dunes and in the marshes. A true nursery for marine species, it is also an area where bivalve molluscs are produced.

Jeudi 28 juillet, nous avons réservé l´excursion en kayak de 17h pour découvrir la Ria Formosa. Nous étions 2 adultes et 2 adolescents. Il s´agissait uniquement d´une ballade en kayak entre 2 points avec arrêt sur une île que nous aurions pu faire seuls. Un peu d´informations sur la Ria formosa données par le guide que nous aurions pu trouver seuls. Cela aurait pu passer même si cela faisait cher de la ballade. Au retour de l´île d´Armona nous avons dû traverser le chenal réservé au passage des bateaux et notamment du ferry venant d´Olhao. Notre guide avait pris de l´avance et les ado étaient à la traine. Nous nous sommes retrouvés au milieu du chenal alors que le ferry avait pris le départ et avançait rapidement vers nous. Le guide regardait le ferry et ne nous donnait aucune information ni consigne, se contentant de regarder le ferry venir vers nous. Nos adolescents se sont retrouvés face au ferry qui a dû se dévier pour les éviter puis ils ont été pris dans le remou créé par son passage. Le guide a continué sa route sans faire aucun commentaire. Visiblement la sécurité n´est pas dans les préoccupations premières de cet organisme que je déconseille vivement pour cette raison.
