About this activity
Sail a catamaran through the channels of Ria Formosa Natural Park to remote Ilha Deserta, with free time to relax on unspoilt beaches and an optional lunch at an island restaurant.
The Lagos coastline is best seen from the water. The cliffs, arches and sea caves around Ponta da Piedade are cut into soft golden limestone, and most of them cannot be reached on foot.
The activity itself runs for about 3 hours, and you should allow roughly 3 hours 10 minutes in total once travel to and from the meeting point is counted. You meet at Faro area. It is run in English and Portuguese.
It suits families, couples, low mobility. The pace is easy and there is nothing physical to worry about. It is weather dependent, so book early in your trip and you will have days spare if the sea gets up.
Flexible. Daytime departures; check availability.
