Overview

Embark on a small-group adventure through the Eastern Algarve, traversed in a 4x4 open-roof vehicle. This journey takes you along hidden off-road trails, through authentic villages and the awe-inspiring Ria Formosa Natural Park.

Your exploration commences towards the historic village of Castro Marim. As your guide narrates the fishing and canning history of Vila Real de Santo António, you'll be treated to spectacular views from the Revelim. Here, you can gaze upon the Guadiana River, the international bridge, the medieval castle and surrounding artisanal salt pans. Learn about the traditional methods still used today for harvesting sea salt and the renowned Flor de Sal, before observing wild flamingos in the protected wetlands of the Castro Marim Nature Reserve.

The adventure continues off-road through the Algarve countryside, pausing beside a majestic cork oak to learn about Portugal's cork harvesting tradition. Stop at Beliche Reservoir for panoramic views before exploring the charming village of Cacela Velha and Tavira's traditional market. Enjoy some free time for lunch in Fuseta (at your own expense). The day concludes with a serene boat trip through the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Glide through tranquil lagoons, learn about traditional oyster farming and arrive at an untouched barrier island. Here, you'll have ample time to swim, relax and savour one of the Algarve's most unspoilt beaches.
