About this experience
Experience the very best of the Eastern Algarve with a dynamic Jeep and Boat combination tour.
We kick off the adventure in a 4x4, winding through the narrow streets of Tavira’s Historic Centre before heading into the sparkling landscapes of the local salt pans.
You’ll discover the heritage of the old tuna fishing village, where time seems to have stood still, before arriving in Santa Luzia, famously known as the "Octopus Capital" of Portugal.
The second half of your journey begins at the Santa Luzia pier, where you will trade the jeep for a boat.
As we navigate the smooth waters of the Ria Formosa on our way back to Tavira, you’ll be immersed in a pristine natural sanctuary. This area is a haven for seabirds and diverse marine life, offering a peaceful contrast to the morning's exploration. The tour concludes at the Ribeira pier in Tavira, leaving you perfectly positioned to enjoy the rest of your day in town.
