Tours and Excursions in Faro

10 tours in Faro, from €30 to €800, average rating 4.8 based on 6609 reviews.

Faro is the Algarve’s capital and the arrival point for most visitors flying south. The airport sits 6 km from the old town, but almost everyone heads straight for the resorts westward. That’s a mistake worth a half-day detour.

The best tours in Faro center on the Ria Formosa — a 60 km lagoon stretching along the coast: barrier islands, salt pans, and mudflats supporting flamingo colonies and Europe’s largest seahorse population. Boat tours run daily to Ilha Deserta, a completely uninhabited sand bar with one restaurant and water so clear you count fish from the dock. Birdwatching covers the salt pans where greater flamingos feed autumn through spring. Faro’s walled old town takes an hour on foot: the 13th-century Sé has rooftop views over the lagoon, and the bone chapel at Igreja do Carmo lines its walls with skulls from over 1,000 monks.

10 tours in Faro from €30. Boat trips, birdwatching, old town walks. Free cancellation on most.
