    We had an excellent boat trip with Carlos as our skipper and guide. He was deeply passionate and knowledgeable about the national park, its flora and fauna, as well as the culture of the area. We hugely enjoyed our visit. We weren't initially sure about doing such a long trip- but the time just flew by and we loved swimming in a couple of different places as well as having a delicious fish lunch.

We were 4 members of the family and 2 others joined the sail. it was so unique , interesting, and 3.5 hours with sun set sight passed quickly. Thank you Paolo for wonderful boat trip.

    We chose a standard trip but it was great experience and the best choice we could do to see all of the islands around Olhao! The tour guide was trying to transfer a lot of knowledge to the tourists about nature in this area and much more !😉

    What a great opportunity to travel to the closest island and walk the beach. The small beach cabins were interesting to see but the highlight was the beach. We planned to take the boat from Olhao to Farol, and be back in 3/4 hours. Our captain suggested we get off at Hangares, walk across the the beach then back, on the beach towards the lighthouse to Farol. Glad we followed his advice. Well worth the trip and only 6.50 per person return.
