Guidekin's take

An hour on a solar powered electric boat in the sheltered Ria Formosa lagoon, quiet enough to hear the birds, with a local guide and live commentary; a good fit for families.

Two adults minimum per booking, up to ten people, no pickup. 4.7 from 155 reviews at €25 per person.

In our comparison: #15 of 16 in Ria Formosa, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
