The eastern region of the Algarve is known as “Sotavento” or leeward side. The Algarve has a rich biodiversity, geology, culture and climate. This is where the famous coastal lagoon called Ria Formosa lies, with its islands, extensive sandy beaches, shallower and warmer waters, saltpans, bird watching, bike and pedestrian trails and paths, it’s an invitation to enjoy nature and all the calm it exudes.
This itinerary with its simplicity and unique characteristics will be more customised to the client’s preferences because as we will see it comprises many leisure activities such as walking or bike riding between Quinta do Lago and Faro Island, panoramic boat rides to the islands of Faro and Olhão, boat rides on the Ria Formosa and the Guadiana River.

This tour includes the stops below. Kindly note these are our personal recommendations, however all our tours can be fully tailor-made to each client’s requirements.
