You can go on the little train which goes from the marina but it isn't hop on hop off. I assume you mean to travel around the area not just Faro and yes you can on buses and trains easily. The bus station is along the sea front from the right side of the marina and the train station is the same way but a little further. We went to Lagos on the train and also caught a bus to Olaho. We were only in Faro for 4 nights so didn't have time to go any further so spent most time in Faro itself

We jumped a taxi from Cabanas, try the train, you may find its a bit quicker?
