    A wonderful and unique experience
    We booked this excursion last minute and it quickly turned into one of our best experiences in Faro! Sebastião is friendly, reliable, trustworthy, and committed to his work. This is his own small business and you can really tell that he's passionate about what he does!

    We started by body-boarding out and back to Benagil Cave. We dried off, took a little rest, and then went on an easy hike around Plaia da Marina to see the beautiful views. That was followed by a stroll along the gorgeous beach. We loved Sebastião's spirit and soul and enjoyed learning about the area and his life here. We highly recommend this trip. Thank you!

    Great Trip, Excellent all round.
    This company was recommended to us by the Lands solar powered boat trip skipper (also based in Faro harbour and thoroughly recommended). Booking was easy through the Ocean Vibes website, and communication with Pedro was friendly and very professional. We weren't able to go on our first day of choice, but he kept us informed with the booking process and contacted us the following day with alternative arrangements which suited us fine.

    On the day of the trip we soon realised what excellent guides Pedro and the skipper Francisco are, and their knowledge of cetaceans was very impressive. The wildlife weren't immediately seen and the crew worked hard to find a large pod of common dolphins. We were delighted to spend time amongst the animals who surrounded the boat and gave really close up views. If you are looking for a great wildlife experience this is definitely the best company to go out with.

    Excellent trip and guide
    The day before the trip I passed by the selling office and the girl kindly explained me the details and I decided to take the trip. It was an amazing Idea!!
    I loved it. The format is perfect ( I did not take the lunch but could enjoy some time at the beach instead): from 10h to 15h approx. Our guide, Claudio was super kind, friendly and professional. His explanations were very much appreciated. Thank you very much. If you are considering a boat trip when in Faro do not hesitate and book with them!

    Great boat tour of Ria Formosa
    We really enjoyed our boat trip to the three islands and our guide, William, was very engaging and knowledgeable about the area, fishing tradition, history and culture. We had a great lunch on one of islands. Communication was excellent. Highly recommend.

    Lovely tour with Pedro
    Booked this whilst staying in Faro for a few days, booking process was easy, Pedro stayed in contact from the start of the booking until the end. We had a lovely day out visiting the market, castle and museums and then ended the tour at the vine yard where we tasted four different wines and had tapas. Brilliant experience with a great host who made us feel very comfortable throughout the tour and was very knowledgable about Faro. Would definitely recommend!!

    Amazing Cruise with family!
    I cannot say enough how wonderful this tour of the Faro Islands was. It was a super relaxing venture for a rather busy trip to Portugal. The hosts, Carla and Armando could not do enough for us. We celebrated my niece's 25th birthday in style on this gorgeous catamaran, visiting beaches, swimming, jumping off the boat. The hosts booked us a table at a small (mainly) seafood restaurant on one of the islands and it was the best meal we had all trip. We learned some Faro history, geographical, biological information that kept us curious and asking questions. The pace of this adventure and the hosts made it simply divine. You would be remiss to book any other sort of cruise other than this one.

    Excellent tour, friendly instructor, great communication
    Andre was great from initial enquiry via Whats App to delivering our tour. As a family of 2 adults, 11 yr of, and 15 yr old the Vilamoura tour was just right for us. Having all been on a Segway before it definitely helped as we could just get on and head off with no training. Don’t be afraid to try this! Segways are very intuitive and you will pick it up very quickly. We cannot wait to come back and possibly try another one of the tours the next time.
