    Thoroughly enjoyed the 2.5hrs birdwatching trip on their completely silent solar powered boat with Lands.pt. All staff we interacted with were super friendly and helpful, and our guide was excellent. Really knowledgable and with a genuine enthusiasm for the wildlife, along with giving us really good insights into local history and socioeconomic context of the area. Top marks, we couldn’t be happier. As well as the eco credentials, the silent running of the solar boat was an absolute joy. Boat was handled expertly, very comfortable and well equipped. We went out on a baking hot day and the breeze out on the water was really refreshing.

    Thank to our guide that explains a lot of information to us. June is not the perfect month to go for birdwatching but we saw 27 different species of birds! This is incredible. Very recommended, even for those who’s not a birdwatcher. The tour was so relaxing and pleasant. The view very special.

    This was the best thing we did on a recent visit to Faro. Our guide was Andrei and he was very knowledgeable and informative. The boat is very quiet and the water calm. There were only seven of us on the trip so we could easily hear everything he said. We went at low tide so there were lots of landing sites for the birds. Everyone was offered good quality binoculars and a chart of birds we might see. We were thrilled to see flamingos, spoonbills, even an osprey and storks flying past ,as well as lots of other more common birds. We had a short stop on the beach to stretch our legs but two and half hours just flew past! A highly recommended trip if you enjoy birdwatching.
