Great effort was made to find birds. Unfortunately the time we were there was not the right time to see birds. Finally saw birds and crabs. Binoculars are offered and life jacket. He tries very hard to find birds, and sees them from quite a distance. Nice, helpful man with humor, top!

This was a relaxing and fascinating way to see the coastal salt marshes of the Ria Formosa. Our guide was wonderful: knowledgeable, friendly and with a supernatural ability to spot birds. Because the electric boat is so quiet, we were able to get very close to dozens of birds. We took many photos, so we'll never forget this experience.

This is not just a pretty boat trip. This is for people who want to see and learn about many different types of birds. Our guide knew the waterways like the back of his hand and he was able to spot birds from a distance without binoculars. Everyone else needs them and we took our own. He has some but I don't know how many or how good they are. We were lucky, off season, just the two of us. The highlight was a cormorant who had caught a 30cm eel and was on land fending off gulls and trying to work out how to eat it. After 10 minutes it eventually slid it down his throat. We had a grandstand view from a completely silent boat (solar powered) which allowed us to get very close to birds without disturbing them and hear their calls. I would not recommend this for most children as they will probably get bored. But for birdwatchers (even bad ones like us) it is unbeatable.
