Another recommended eco-responsible operator, offering a range of activities from all-day boat tours with a focus on birdwatching, or the region’s fishing history (with visits to fish markets) or the islands (each tour including lunch €60; minimum four people). Other trips include two-hour dolphin-watching experiences (€30) and exploring inland Algarve, including Serra Caldeirão and sections of the Via Algarviana.

Formosamar
Ria Formosa and Lands are highly recommended outfits working under the name Formosamar to genuinely embrace and promote environmentally responsible tourism. Among the excellent tours it provides are two-hour birdwatching trips around the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa (€25, minimum four people), 2½-hour guided cycling tours (€17) and numerous guided walking tours inland from Faro. Accompanying guides may include a marine biologist and raptor specialist. Its two-hour boat trips take small boats (up to eight people) in some of the narrower channels in the lagoon (€20), providing participants with a close-to-nature experience.
