About the experience

Experience the best of the Algarve coast on this 6-hour boat tour from Marina de Portimão. From dramatic cliffs and golden beaches to calm lagoons and secret coves, this tour offers a perfect balance of exploration and relaxation. With plenty of time to enjoy each stop, it’s a full-day escape into Portugal’s coastal beauty.

The journey begins as you cruise past Portimão’s colorful riverfront and head toward Praia do Vau, a peaceful beach backed by sandstone cliffs. Here, you’ll have time to swim or unwind in its calm, clear waters. Next, the boat navigates along the coastline to João d’Arens, a wild and protected headland known for its rocky arches and small hidden bays. The scenery is striking—perfect for photos, cliffside views, and swimming in turquoise coves.

From there, the tour continues toward Alvor Ria, a vast and peaceful lagoon that contrasts beautifully with the cliffs you’ve just left behind. The boat enters this calm estuary lined with sandbanks, wildlife, and traditional fishing boats. It’s a serene and slower-paced part of the tour, ideal for nature lovers and those wanting to see a quieter, more local side of the Algarve.

This tour is perfect for couples, friends, or families who want to enjoy a full day on the water without rushing. The itinerary can be adjusted slightly by the skipper depending on sea conditions, and there’s space for swim stops, photo breaks, or even a short picnic on board if you bring your own snacks. The boat is comfortable, with shaded areas and a ladder for easy water access.

With varied scenery and a relaxed rhythm, this 6-hour experience gives you a deep and memorable look at some of the Algarve’s most beautiful coastal areas—from rugged cliffs to peaceful lagoons.
