Embark on an ecotourism experience in Ria Formosa on board our comfortable pontoon boat.<\/p>\n<p>Led by an expert nature guide, this Ria Formosa boat tour will show you why this incredible place was elected one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal. Ria Formosa Natural Park is considered one of Europe\u2019s most important wetlands for aquatic birds. It\u2019s no surprise, then, that the diverse birdlife here is one of the highlights of any visit.<\/p>\n<p>This Ria Formosa bird watching tour gives these amazing animals the special attention they deserve. Join us for bird watching in the Algarve and observe birds like the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta), and the Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia).<\/p>\n<p>Waders are most abundant, especially during winter, although birds like the Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus), the Turnstone (Arenaria interpres), and the Grey Plover (Pluvialis squatarola) are a constant presence.<\/p>\n<p>The trip continues towards the islands of the Natural Park, through oyster and clam farms, one of the most important economical activities in the Algarve. Here, you can also see interesting species such as the Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa limosa), the Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus), and many more.<\/p>\n<p>Towards the point where the lagoon meets the sea, we make a stop so you can enjoy this small slice of paradise. This is an important reproduction area for the Little Tern (Sterna albifrons) and the Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus). During wintertime, we often observe the Sandwich Tern (Sterna sandvicensis) and the Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus).<\/p>\n<p>As we head back to Faro, you will have many opportunities to observe other species while our boat sails slowly through the channels of this natural wonderland. Bird watching in Faro and the Algarve doesn\u2019t get any more complete than this!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For all ages! \u2022 2h \u2022 Embark on an ecotourism experience in Ria Formosa<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":43505,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[497],"attraction-categ":[],"localidade":[182],"content-type":[1078],"grupo-de-experiencias":[1349],"experiencia-tipo":[111],"experience-update":[],"gestao":[],"regioes_turisticas_term":[113],"concelho":[],"ctg-rating":[],"class_list":["post-42703","experiencia","type-experiencia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-boat-tour","localidade-faro","content-type-experience","grupo-de-experiencias-nature-adventure","experiencia-tipo-boat-tour","regioes_turisticas_term-algarve"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v28.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ria Formosa Bird Watching Boat Tour - Real Dreams<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/pt\/experiencia\/ria-formosa-bird-watching-boat-tour\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"pt_PT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ria Formosa Bird Watching Boat Tour\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"For all ages!
