Faro is the best-known city in Portugal’s deservedly famous Algarve region. There’s an archaeological museum and a “Bishops’ Palace,” a Renaissance cathedral that was heavily bombed during World War II, but later rebuilt. Nearby in Estoi are Roman ruins, and Albufeira, also nearby, is a formerly quaint fishing village influenced by the Moors in the 8th century. It’s situated in a cliffside location, and has become famous for its beaches (there are 20) and nightlife.

Run by our WSA certified instructors we offer 2 hour tours throughout the year. Stand up paddle boarding is fairly easy to master and especially so in Faro's glassy, calm and protected marina. After a few minutes of expert instruction, you'll be chomping at the bit to get out into the rich water life of the Ria Formosa. This 60km long natural park and wetland stretches from Faro eastwards (almost to Spain). We also offer tours to the spectacular cliffs,caves and coves near Armacao de Pera at 11h15 every day. Additionally we run an 08h30 stand up paddle tour into the majestic Benagil Sea Cave.

At Animaris we have created several products in the field of Nature Tourism. Since we started in 1986, our focus has been respect and conservation of the environment, especially the Deserta Island, also known as Barreta. Today is still the only uninhabited barrier island of Ria Formosa. The Estamine Restaurant, recognized and awarded for its gastronomic quality and energy efficiency, is the only structure on the Island. Open every day of the year, with panoramic views of the Natural Park and the Atlantic Ocean, we specialise in the fresh products of the ocean and the Ria, such as fish and seafood. We also manage the beach concession on the Island, with support services such as sun shades and sunbeds, and a team of lifeguards during bathing season (June to September). Our fleet, for transportation and tours, is composed of boats of different types (semi-rigid, speedboats and catamarans), with capacities between 10 to 200 passengers.

While staying in Faro and having some spare time, a visit to "Palácio de Estói" is highly recommended. It is only 10km away from Faro and easily reached by car (or public bus). The palace had its construction started around 1840 and was completed only in 1906. It features characteristics of the neo-baroque and neo-rococo styles, with fine plastered ceilings, beautiful paintings and traditional furniture. At its French inspired gardens, ponds, fountains and many marble statues complete the scene. A chapel dedicated to the "Holy Family" is within its premises. In 1977, "Palácio de Estói" was appointed as a Portuguese National Monument and, after totally renovated, it became a hotel. We just drove from Faro, visited the public areas of the hotel, had lunch at its "O Visconde" restaurant and headed to nearby "Ruínas de Milreu". A lovely day at Faro's countryside! Enjoy!
