We really enjoyed the whole experience. Boat trips to reach both the islands last about 15-20 minutes and are really fun thanks to the experience and the sympathy of the guide.
Both the islands are really suggestive and visit first Culatra to explore the fisherman island and later Armona to enjoy the sunset was a good point.
Totally recommended

The weather was getting a bit inclement, but Claudia (our captain) gave us a fantastic tour to ensure we got the most of our few hours. Being set down on the islands for an hour was really good - just enough time to explore and even get a swim in!
The guide to what to see was brilliant - pitched at the right level to keep all passengers entertained.
The exhilarating ride back was amazing - you certainly couldn't wear a hat.
A great few hours and so much fun.
We paid 30 Euros each for the session - great value for money.

This was a 3 hour tour from Olhao which took in 2 of the islands. It was a small boat tour with 12 guests. Carlos spoke several languages so all were catered for.
He told us a lot about the islands which was interesting. We stopped on Armona for 40 minutes to see the lighthouse and walk round the village which had beautiful flowers and cacti. Then to Culatra for an hour which was time for snack or lunch.
Gentle ride on boat to see scenery. Saw various gulls, cormorants, egret and oyster catchers. Learned about oyster beds too.
Fast trip back to Olhao.

Claudio our skipper was outstanding. He took time to tell us about the islands and people who live there. Our trip was off season so not rushed or hurried in any way. We went to a true Fisherman's restaurant for lunch and had the best grilled tuna ever! This trip was a highlight of our time in the Algarve. Thank you.

The islands were both very beautiful. Our guide, William, was very friendly, and as a local guide who had grown up on Culatra island he had a lot of knowledge about the history and culture of Olhao and the Ria formosa. I strongly recommend the tour, and I would love to come back to experience it again.
