Ria Formosa cruise from Huelva with lunch on Culatra Island

Hop across the border to Portugal and visit the country's prized network of lagoons, sandbanks and barrier islands that form the wildlife haven of Ria Formosa Natural Park. Your first stop on this full-day cruise is Farol Island, it's famous for its inviting beaches, but make sure you grab a photo with its iconic lighthouse, too. Then, it's on to Culatra Island, a spot where the 1,000-strong community follow the rhythm of the sea. You'll experience this for yourself when you tuck into lunch at a local restaurant on the island. You'll dock back at Olhao Harbour late in the afternoon before heading back to Spain.
