What to expect

Our Santa Maria Route takes guests around the Ria Formosa's barrier islands from Portas do Mar Pier in Faro, without the open-Atlantic dolphin search that our Wild Dolphin Watching and combined trips include.

We run it as a locally and family owned operator under RNAAT licence 341/2017, using the same small-group boats as our other Faro trips.

This route suits guests focused on the Ria Formosa's islands and lagoon scenery specifically, as a lower-priced alternative to our combined Dolphin Watching and Islands trip.
