Full description

Begin your island-hopping trip with your captain who will act as your tour guide. First, stop at Lighthouse Island, where you can visit its village, get a drink, go to the beach, and explore the neighborhoods of beautiful houses.

Continue on to Culatra Island for a few hours for a picnic lunch or visit one of the local restaurants. Culatra Island has beautiful swimming areas, if you prefer to play in the water instead of eating here. Stop on the island for 2 hours to enjoy lunch and to explore the village.

Next, make your way to Armona Island or Desert beach , depending on the season. In the summertime, Deserta beach hosts a beautiful, wild beach with no buildings. Explore either the Ria Formosa for a swim, or take in the Atlantic Ocean side of the island. The beautiful Armona Island is inhabited all year-long with locals and vacationers. Discover its deserted beach and take in the tranquil surroundings.

I absolutely loved this activity ! We had nice weather, we were a nice group of 7 people which is better than being more than 20 on a bigger boat. Thanks a lot to Carlos for making us have an amazing day, his kindness, and telling us more about each island ! I 100% recommend you to book with Odyssey Boat Tours :)

We were lucky and had a very small group of 4 people (which is unusual), but in general these beaches and places are big enough anyway. Our guide was very knowledgable about the islands and their history, and also very skilled in many languages. Time slots were well-chosen for each island, although the last stay could have been a bit longer (it was still sunny beach weather but we barely had time to chill at the beach). Would recommend.
