      Great experience
      It was amazing! I highly recommend it. We went by boat to a fisherman island where we kayaked and then took a walk around. The boat driver explained a lot about the island and gave us some tips.

      A fabulous day out
      6 of us did the 5 hour boat tour of the Rio Formosa. We had a fabulous day, very well organised, comfortable boat and an excellent captain/tour guide who had lots of interesting local knowledge. His recommendation for lunch proved to be delicious and very good value. A great day out, highly recommended.

      So much better than taking the ferry. Worth it!!
      An amazing beach trip for my family! We’ve taken the Olhão ferry multiple times and this experience was a huge step up. Boat service direct to a secluded beach gave us more time to enjoy the sun and water.

      An Excellent Beach Adventure!
      My family enjoyed an amazing three hour beach retreat with Fun and Sun Tours. We left from the Olhāo marina and went on a private boat to a very secluded beach on Isla Hangares. Once we arrived we were quickly set up with a paddle board and a two person kayak (we could have chosen whatever mix of water equipment we preferred). The location was perfect and we had so much fun. Paddlng up the beach we were had fantastic sea and island views, including Farol lighthouse. The guide/owner was helpful and gave us some great local history during the boatride. We will definitely use Fun and Sun Tours again!

    Wonderful experience. Definitely this was perfect way to finish visiting Algarve. Ricardo is the man! He prepared everything for us even reserved a restaurant on a fisherman’s island ‘Culatra’ that we went and we had a magnificent meal on a local place.
    See you next year Ricardo!
    All the best!!!

    We went out on the 5 hour boat trip visiting 3 different locations.We traveled as 2 adults and 1 eleven year old.Had a wonderful Cataplana for lunch at our last of the 3 stops.The first 2 stops were used rambling on the beeches.Very pleasant experience had by all 3 of us.Ricardo our skipper for the day is a real gentleman with plenty of knowledge of the Ria Formosa which further enhanced our experience.I would highly recommend this trip to all.
    Many thanks Ricardo

    We loved the experience lived in family, in the company of Mr. Ricardo who showed us the oysters groves on the Ria Formosa, the beautiful islands and their surrounding stories, paradise beaches almost just for us, with the sand so fine and soft. Adding, the lunch on the island of culatra, very good! It was all wonderful, undoubtedly, an experience to repeat. Our very thank you to Mr. Ricardo, we will be back soon ☺️
