Our Story
Lands - Turismo na Natureza
Founded in 2003, we were one of the first local companies to specialise in Portugal boat tours, trips, and activities specialized in nature-based tourism. Ria Formosa is one of the most beautiful areas in the Algarve and its proximity to Faro makes it easy to access. Our solar-powered electric boats are as eco-friendly as possible and we do everything we can to ensure we make zero impact on this stunning area of natural beauty. In fact, by taking one of these eco-friendly Ria Formosa boat tours, you are helping support local conservation efforts by showing interest in protecting and preserving these natural environments.
Our Activities
Lands has given specialist tours to visitors in Ria Formosa for almost two decades. Our founder, Bárbara Abelho, is a biologist who envisioned a tour company that not only understood the wildlife, plantlife, and broader ecosystem of Faro’s incredible nature park, but also understood all of the necessary measures to care for it. This is why the tour guides at Lands are also biologists — offering unparalleled expertise about the local ecosystem and capable of answering any and all questions our guests may have.
