The Ria Formosa Nature Park is one of the three Algarve’s protected areas in the Algarve and it was classified as one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal. It’s a fantastic area with an extraordinary heritage and it’s definitely one of the places to visit during your holiday in the Algarve.
One of the Natura Algarve’s commitments is the development of ecotourism and sustainable tourism in the region, providing our guests an intimate experience of contact and discovery of the Ria Formosa.
One of our main goals is to promote the extraordinary heritage of this Natural Park and the importance of its preservation. Thus, all our trips, tours and activities have a strong interpretive and interactive component, seeking to promote what is indeed unique in the Ria Formosa.
Our visits to the fishing communities on the islands of Ria Formosa such as Culatra Island, and the contact with the main economic activities of this protected area such as the clam farms and oyster beds of the Ria Formosa, and the saltpans where the salt and the “flor de sal” are collected, are some examples.
On our birdwatching tours we raise awareness to the importance of Ria Formosa for birds in the Algarve. In our boat trips in Ria Formosa, guests get acquainted with the crucial importance of this coastal lagoon for the threatened population of seahorses in this protected area.
By visiting the beaches and islands of Ria Formosa on one of our boat tours, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy astonishing beautiful natural areas which are at the same time very fragile. Providing our guests memorable experiences, we also seek to raise awareness for the importance of preserving these ecosystems.
You’ll also have the opportunity to discover other islands of Ria Formosa on our boat trips, located between Olhão and Faro, such as the Armona Island, Desertas of Culatra Island, Farol Island and the Barreta Island, also known as Ilha Deserta. In these paradisiac sites of the Algarve, you’ll enjoy beautiful white sand beaches and crystal clear waters where you can take a dip and marvel with the astonishing scenery.
