Boat tour agency
👍👍 Amazing tour, we went for dolphin watching, the guide was very knowledgeable and humorous. We couldn't find the dolphins so they guides asked if we are all happy to stay a bit longer and we then found a massive pod. I just loved that they did that for us! Moreover, they seemed to care about the envi...

🫤 Unless you either 1) simply want to lay on the beach and be relatively alone, 2) are on the run and want to hideout or 3) looking to do some low profile importation from Morocco, there is no reason to go here - if you do, as we did, don't say I didn't tell you so - 30 mins is enough.

👍👍 Amazing beach for your little buddies to run around and have plenty of space for yourself. Very extense beach, which you can walk around. If you want to go with dogs, you can go further where there are no lifeguards and no control.

👍👍 Wonderful tour guide and very comfy boat. We visited the deserted island and spent an hour at the conchas beach as shown in the video. Then we went to colatera island which is also lovely but way more busy.

😠 This morning we had the experience of going on a tour guided by Andre. Our initial impression of him was fairly positive. He seemed welcoming, encouraging all of us to introduce ourselves, and was courteous in his interactions. However, as the tour progressed, I observed a sudden change in his behav...

👍👍 Part of Ilha Desserta, or barreta island, you will reach this beach after walking the boardwalk through the deserted island. To find this secluded, quiet and beautiful beach is a real treat after a hike. Ofcourse you can also enter the beach immediatly upon arrival by ferry (€5) and there is 1 resta...

Praia de Faro
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Unlike the other city beaches, this is a lot more beautiful and easier to get to and simply relax. We had a great time reclining on the deck chairs. Cost 5€ each with covered rattan umbrella. It's on a island by itself that has one way in and out controlled by traffic lights. Though crowded we found...
