THANK YOU THOMAS CRUISE☀️👏🏼 Highlight of our time in the Algarve! We managed to book this on the day - I imagine only because we were here off peak in May. The speed boat itself was definitely an experience and a lot of fun. Going through the wetlands and seeing the different islands & some of its wildlife felt like so special, we learnt so much about the importance of coastal conservation and fell in love. Our guide Thomas was amazing, he exuded so much passion, knowledge, history & humour, and we felt super safe & looked after in his hands. We actually left thinking we’d love to learn even more about Marine Biology/Conservation - we got hooked! It was such a beautiful escape from the real world on land and being out during golden hour just added to the magic! My sister & I will be telling all our friends about our wonderful last night in Portugal and highly recommending this experience :)
