Faro Ilha Deserta Half-Day Private Islands Tour

Ria Formosa

A relaxing guided boat tour through the canals of the Ria Formosa with a visit to 2 different islands: Deserta island and Farol Island.

A unique experience along the 15 miles route. The first stop and visit will be to Deserta Island, where we will disembark in a wild and inhabited place. This is where Cabo de Santa Maria is located, which is the southernmost point of mainland Portugal.

In the second, Farol island, a small tourist village where the historic lighthouse of Santa Maria, built in 1851, is located.

On each island, the visit will be free, where you will have approx. 45 minutes to 1 hour in each of them, to enjoy, visit, swim, drink a cocktail on the beach, take photos, and do anything else you want to do at your leisure. Enjoy!
