Sunset in Faro

Fantastic experience. We took a small boat with only one other family for the 8pm sunset tour in July. We were able to see the sun fully set in the hour we were out on the cruise. It was much cooler temps in the evening and the views were phenomenal. Our guide was very informative and kind.

Highly recommendable at any time, very nice people on board and on land

It was a beautiful experience, especially since we were almost alone on the boat. The guide was very nice, unobtrusive, and pleasant
