What people are saying about Culatra Island

Unser Reiseführer, Louie, war super. Eine rundum unterhaltsame Tour mit tollen Badestopps. Auf dem Boot waren ca. 12 Personen, also sehr überschaubar.

A must if in Olhão! Both islands definitely worth visiting. Joao is an excellent a guide - very knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time.

a magnificent discovery in landscapes of great beauty. Louis is a perfectly French-speaking guide who has a lot of humor.

We had a lovely time. The skipper and the rest of the staff were helpful and super friendly. Highly recommend it.
