Considered one of the most important wetlands for aquatic birds in Portugal, during the tour you'll observe birds like the White Stork, Little Egret and the Spoonbill.
Waders are most abundant specially during winter, although birds like the Whimbrel, the Turnstone and the Grey Plover are a constant presence. The trip continues towards the islands of the Natural Park through oyster and clams farms.
Here you will have the opportunity to see one of the most important economical activities in the Algarve and very interesting species such as the Black-tailed Godwit, the Oystercatcher and many others.
Towards the point where the lagoon meets the sea, stop and enjoy this small paradise. This is an important reproduction area for the Little Tern and the Kentish Plover. During wintertime you can often observe the Sandwich Tern and the Greater Flamingo.
During our trip back you'll have many opportunities to observe other species while our boat sails calmly through the channels of this Natural park in direction to the city of Faro.
