From the inlets of quaint fishing villages to the rolling swells of the Atlantic, you'll have a chance to take the helm and learn how to sail along them both on this four-hour boat trip. The Ria Formosa Natural Park is a protected ecosystem scattered across a network of lagoons and barrier islands that are home to a host of wildlife – so you've every chance of spotting egrets, herons and sandpipers as you navigate the waters. Beginning at the waterfront of Fuseta, your Captain will show you the ropes of the boat – literally – before teaching you to sail along the lagoon, with time for a swim, too. Then, you'll head out in the open waters of the Atlantic before returning along the coast and soaking up the pretty pastel views of the village of Fuseta.
