You will absolutely be stunned by the amazing beaches and panoramas on the island, while you're silently gliding over crystal clear water with the kayak, you'll be able to see the underwater fauna and flora. On the way you'll see lot's of birds , crabs, shellfish and many unique spots because many sites, we visit on the tour are not accesable for the boat companies as their engines have a huge impact on the environment in the natural park. We travel silently, without nasty gasoline smells and doing so, offer the only ecological alternative, with zero impact and all respect for nature to visit the natural park. Besides all the above, you will also catch a glimpse of the shelfish cultivation, a tides mill, Armona village, Lagoa dos patos, ...

  • Ria Formosa Natural Park, Olhao, Portugal
    Serving as a transitional area between land and sea, the Ria Formosa is a vast lagoon system that stretches for 60 km along the coast of the eastern Algarve. It covers an area of approximately 18,000 hectares. It is the most important wetland zone in southern Portugal and features a wide variety of habitats: barrier islands, marshes, sandbanks, dunes, saltpans, freshwater and brackish lakes, water courses, scrubland and farmland; all of which is also propitious to a tremendous variety of fauna and flora. Classed as a wetland zone of international interest, the Ria Formosa is particularly noted for its birdlife. The area is a winter home for birds from north and central Europe, as well as being on migration routes. From a botanical point of view, the particular highlight is the vegetation on the dunes and in the marshes. A true nursery for marine species, it is also an area where bivalve molluscs are produced.

Jeudi 28 juillet, nous avons réservé l´excursion en kayak de 17h pour découvrir la Ria Formosa. Nous étions 2 adultes et 2 adolescents. Il s´agissait uniquement d´une ballade en kayak entre 2 points avec arrêt sur une île que nous aurions pu faire seuls. Un peu d´informations sur la Ria formosa données par le guide que nous aurions pu trouver seuls. Cela aurait pu passer même si cela faisait cher de la ballade. Au retour de l´île d´Armona nous avons dû traverser le chenal réservé au passage des bateaux et notamment du ferry venant d´Olhao. Notre guide avait pris de l´avance et les ado étaient à la traine. Nous nous sommes retrouvés au milieu du chenal alors que le ferry avait pris le départ et avançait rapidement vers nous. Le guide regardait le ferry et ne nous donnait aucune information ni consigne, se contentant de regarder le ferry venir vers nous. Nos adolescents se sont retrouvés face au ferry qui a dû se dévier pour les éviter puis ils ont été pris dans le remou créé par son passage. Le guide a continué sa route sans faire aucun commentaire. Visiblement la sécurité n´est pas dans les préoccupations premières de cet organisme que je déconseille vivement pour cette raison.
