Cruise & Boat Tours in Faro

Faro is the capital of the southern part of Portugal’s Algarve region. Having served as a Bishop's seat as far back as the 4th century, Faro's place in Portuguese history cannot be undermined. This capital city is also lined by numerous historical and archaeological landmarks as well as waterways including the Faro Canal Inlet. A glass of wine while on a cruise across the Faro Canal Inlet unlocks new levels of pleasure as you watch the birds hovering over the water body. Ferry rides to Ilha Deserta strike a different chord of relaxation as you glide across the lagoon through channels overlooking the Ria Formosa Nature Park. The many tourist attractions in Faro including the Culatra Island, Igreja de Santa Maria, Igreja do Carmo are accessible to ensure a unique and memorable vacation in Faro.

The picturesque scenery and landscape of Faro's plants and the sky is a feast for sore eyes with its generous offer of greens and blues enjoyed during sightseeing tours in Faro.

Barranco Grottos and Caves have the right combination of mystery and sports to complete the fascinating quality of water sports activities as you paddle along the water.
