About this activity
Olhao: Ria Formosa Self-Drive Speedboat Rental covers the coast from the water, which is the only angle that shows the cliffs properly. It leaves from Faro area, so you are close to the Ria Formosa lagoon and the walled old town before anything starts. It runs in the afternoon. It uses a small boat, so it can go into the narrower gaps in the rock. Prices start at €100 per person, and we list every seller carrying it side by side so you can see who is cheapest today.
This coastline is best seen from the water. The cliffs, arches and sea caves 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.
