Itinerary

  1. 1
    Stop 1

    The Fort of São João do Arade, sometimes referred to as the Castle of Arade, is a medieval fortification. The first fortification on the site consisted of a watch tower erected in the reign of King John II of Portugal. Later, following the settlement of Ferragudo (around 1520), it is believed that the castle was encircled by a defensive wall (built on the rudimentary walls of the older walls). The origins of the Fort of Arade date back to the Philippine Dynasty, to defend the coast of the peninsula from attacks by pirates and privateers in service to the Crowns of northern Europe.

  2. 2
    Ponta do Altar Lighthouse

    The lighthouse, of unusual design, consists of a small square turret attached to a one-story caretaker's house. It supports a red lantern on its terrace. The house, often compared with the appearance of a small schoolhouse, is painted white, with exposed stones and a red tiled roof. It is located on a promontory, used since prehistory for pagan rituals, on the eastern side of the entrance to the port of Portimão. The Ponta do Altar Lighthouse was first proposed by Ricardo Peyroteu on June 21, 1884. It started operations of 1 January 1893. The tower is 10 meters high and 2.7 meters wide. The original light was white and used oil as the fuel source. It combined with two smaller lights at the ends of the two moles at the entrance to Portimão harbour.

5/5 experience!

Would absolutely recommend! The tour was great and the staff were very friendly they gave us plenty of information at all the stops but didn’t bombard with information. It feels very personal as they actually talk to you instead of through headphones or over a tannoy. We also got the chance to jump off the boat and go for a swim which was very enjoyable. It was a great tour with incredibly friendly tour guides, the whole family enjoyed!

Best boat tour you can take

This is the best boat tour you can get. Not only is it eco friendly but also the boat is super spacious. It takes a bit longer but that an advantage because you have all the time you need to explore the coast line. The crew is super friendly and explains everything.
