Adventure Tips
Bring binoculars for better views
Binoculars significantly enhance spotting distant or camouflaged birds in Ria Formosa’s varied habitats.
Wear neutral-colored clothing
Opt for earth tones to avoid startling wildlife and blend into the natural scenery during your boat trip.
Protect against sun exposure
Even on cooler days, the reflective water surface increases UV exposure, so sunscreen and a hat are recommended.
Charge your camera batteries
You’ll want to capture crisp photos of birds in flight or perched against the park’s lush backdrops—spare battery power helps.
