La actividad fue excelente, nos encantó el paseo y el lugar. Lo único que no nos gustó es que reservamos a las 11 y nos escribieron para pedirnos que si podíamos cambiarnos a las 10 porque así íbamos con grupo de españoles/portugueses y el capitán no tenia que estar hablando en 3 idiomas, lo cual es difícil para hacer ameno el recorrido. Nos cambiamos y como había finalmente ingleses se dio el tour en inglés y portugués. De ser así no nos hubiéramos cambiado.

The activity was excellent; we loved the tour and the location. The only thing we didn't like was that we booked for 11:00 AM, and they contacted us to ask if we could change the time to 10:00 AM because we would have been with a group of Spanish and Portuguese speakers, and the captain wouldn't have to speak in three languages, which makes the tour difficult and enjoyable. We changed the time, and since there were English speakers, the tour ended up being in English and Portuguese. If that had been the case, we wouldn't have changed the time.

Totalmente recomendable.Hicimos la ruta en lancha por Isla Desierta, Farol y Culatra y fue una experiencia fantástica, muy entretenida y diferente a lo habitual. Gran parte del mérito es de nuestro capitán, Iván. Fue un guía excelente: nos explicó la historia, costumbres y curiosidades de las islas, y nos recomendó las mejores playas y sitios para comer en cada parada.Como hicimos el tour por la tarde, tuvo el detallazo de llevarnos a ver un atardecer precioso en el mar antes de volver al puerto Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended. We took the boat tour to Isla Desierta, Farol, and Culatra, and it was a fantastic experience, very entertaining and different from the usual tourist spots. Much of the credit goes to our captain, Iván. He was an excellent guide: he explained the history, customs, and interesting facts about the islands, and recommended the best beaches and places to eat at each stop. Since we did the tour in the afternoon, he thoughtfully took us to see a beautiful sunset over the sea before returning to the port. Opinion translated. Show original.

Compartimos el viaje con otros cuatro grupos de familiares o amigos. La lancha es cómoda y el guía te informa de todo lo importante de los sitios que se visitan. También te ayuda a decidir donde comer. Los sitios que se visitan son preciosos. Nos ha encantado la experiencia. Hemos ido con nuestras hijas de 12 y 8 años y les ha encantado.

Nao tem nada a ver com passeio de lancha. A lancha parece mais um taxibolt. Vc fica prácticamente amarrado na cadeira da lancha que parece um auditorio, enquanto ela vai em alta velocidade até a ilha. Na ilha nao tem um lugar para se abrigar do sol, 50 minutos sentados na areia com sol na cabeça esperando a lancha para a próxima ilha. Se fosse para ficar largado na ilha eu teria pago bem menos e pego a balsa.

It has nothing to do with a boat tour. The boat feels more like a taxi. You are practically strapped to the chair of the boat that feels like an auditorium, while it speeds towards the island. On the island, there is no place to shelter from the sun, 50 minutes sitting on the sand with the sun on your head waiting for the boat to the next island. If I were to be left on the island, I would have paid much less and taken the ferry.

No vale la pena el precio que cuesta. Si quieres visitar Culatra y Farol (muy recomendable) hazlo por tu cuenta en ferry y no pagues el precio de la excursión donde no te explican absolutamente nada.

It's not worth the price. If you want to visit Culatra and Farol (highly recommended), do it on your own by ferry and don't pay for the tour where they explain absolutely nothing.
