Alhough faced with harsh conditions, our skipper Miguel was highly skilled in navigating them. I would like to thank him for his professionalism, as well as his endearing sense of humour and passion for the area, all of which elevated the experience.

2 hour birding/boat tour
Edit
Would definitely recommend it to anyone who has a vague interest in local history, the landscape, and its inhabitants. Thank you.

thank you, guide and driver luis for sharing your knowledge about the parc and faro and for such a friendly time on the water.
We wore shorts and T-shirts in November (17 degrees and sunny) which was fine although it was nice to have a light fleece/jacket just in case.
Went on the birding tour. Overall I thought it was super fun! As a birdwatcher it was nice to explore a region you could only access on boat. I could appreciate our guide saying he wasn't an expert on birds at the start of the tour (the expert was on holidays). Even though he wasn't an expert he was super informative on the area and gave cool facts about the land and other animals on the area too. Our guide was very helpful, considerate, and made sure everyone on the boat was seeing everything.
I logged 28 species of birds on this trip. Not everything was called out by our guide but he took us right up close to all the birds and I was able to get good looks and photos of everything. The binoculars they provided were good quality and you were able to see everything clearly. I brought my own pair but my wife used the supplied ones and had no issues. The boat was spacious and everyone had lots of room to move around and spot all the birds.
If you're an avid birdwatcher be prepared to spot and call out most of the birds yourself but if you just want to go on a birding tour for fun you'll see flamingos, spoonbills, egrets, herons, oystercatchers and much more.
Overall a great experience for a fair price and if I'm ever back in Portugal I would go again!
