Unique and incredible

Published on Sep, 2024

It was an incredible and unique experience… the guide made the visit worth! The best part was the lunch, hosted in a typical house! They showed us what hospitality is!

Fantastic experience

Published on Sep, 2023

We tried to book online before our holiday, but there was no availability. However, we were able to book the day before by going to the hut at the port in person. 70€ pp including the lunch, which was substantial, 2 different dips and bread/ toast cockles, then oysters followed by fish/sardine stew with potatoes. A polenta type dish with prawns and cockles, a pasta dish with fish and prawns, a tomato onion, lettuce salad, rice, and bacalau. Everything is placed on the table so you can serve yourselves. Accompanied with vino verde and water. Followed by fruit salad, a flan, and a local cake. We visited deserta, where we had 45mins, you can swim if you wish, I suggest footwear that you can either take off or paddle in as I was knee deep in the water getting out of the boat (I am short) we Also had an hour stop at farol to explore before arrival at culatera and the lunch stop. At regular point the guide Luis kept us well informed. It was a delightful experience and I would definitely recommend it.

A day out on the islands

Published on Jul, 2023

Having been to Portugal many times this was the first excursion we have ever booked and it didn't disappoint! From start to finish everything went like a dream, informative, engaging and funny too! The islands were amazing, the lunch amazing and the two guides were brilliant, Luiz and Poulo great hosts and amazing value for money for a whole day out on the sea! Highly recommended and would definitely book again!

An experience of the true Algarve

Published on Jul, 2023

We have found this trip to be a true experience of life here on the Eastern Algarve - we have taken this trip twice this year and on numerous occasions in the previous years too - we recommend it to all our family and friends when they come to stay with us - we feel it is a part of the Algarve that must be experienced and shared - the Ria Formosa is Mother Nature at her best - all the guides we have met are passionate about the area and love to share all they know - I love to share our knowledge about the oysters! The lunch in Rui’s family home - prepared by his mum has always been amazing - a very welcoming family proud of their heritage.

Happy Saturday

Published on May, 2023
