Description
Hop on a ferry to reach Ilha Deserta independently, or visit with one of the many boat tours available from Faro and other nearby towns. Some half-day excursions stop at Ilha Deserta as part of a tour of several national-park islands—including Armona, Culatra, and Farol—while others concentrate on Ilha Deserta and Farol, and many include time for swimming or snorkeling off the boat. On the island itself, options include hiking, swimming, and especially bird-watching: The uninhabited island is a haven for such avian species as flamingos, terns, and purple swamphen.
