Sunset cruise ticket from Vilamoura
Excursions & day trips

Sunset cruise ticket from Vilamoura

The Algarve looks good regardless of what time of day you see it, but sunset is something else here. This evening cruise takes you out on the water for a laidback sailing right as the sun starts to go down, meaning you get a really romantic look at the coast as the sky lights up in streaks of pink, orange and red, then into deep purple. You'll sail on a boat that's decked out with a bar and a lounge, plus it has free Wi-Fi – perfect for uploading those pretty sunset pics to social media. But sunset isn't the only thing you'll get a good look at while you're out and about, since your sailing takes you past beaches, rock formations and hidden coves.
