# Sunset Tour | Ria Formosa - From Faro

**Guidekin's take:** An hour on a catamaran timed for the sunset over the Ria Formosa lagoon, with the skipper doubling as local guide. It is a short, relaxed sail rather than an island visit, and food and drinks are not provided. 4.97 from 842 reviews at €30 per person.

**Best short evening:** The highest rated boat here with a real base behind it, 4.97 from 842 reviews at €30 per person, for one hour on a catamaran as the light goes over the lagoon. Trade-off: An hour on the water and nothing more. (last checked July 27, 2026)
