Eco Tours in Portugal

Visit some of Sao Miguel's most beautiful sites on this action-packed half-day tour. Save time organizing your own transport by having hotel pickup and drop-off included. You'll travel with a guide along the coast, stopping off at interesting sites en route, such as Santa Iris viewpoint, a tea factory, Pico do Ferro viewpoint, and Furnas Volcano and Hot Springs. You'll also get to see a natural kitchen where volcano heat is used to cook food.

If you're a nature lover in The Algarve, Ria Formosa National Park should be at the top of your itinerary. During this 2-hour tour from Faro, you'll explore the natural landscape on a 'saveiro' (a traditional painted boat) while learning about the myriad of bird species that inhabit the area. With luck, you'll spot birds such as white storks, little egrets, spoonbills, and grey plover. This small-group tour is limited to 10 people to guarantee an intimate atmosphere.

Immerse yourself in the natural splendor of Ria Formosa Natural Park on a 90-minute catamaran cruise to Deserta Island from Faro. While you listen to informative commentary from your guide, you'll see fascinating flora and fauna and disembark at Deserta Island to stroll along the beautiful beach. Enjoy the flexibility of choosing your own departure time and opt to explore hiking trails and nature walks before you return to Faro by catamaran.
