Das Team kümmert sich ganz wunderbar um einen. Wir waren nur zwei Teilnehmer und wurden vor, während und nach dem Tauchgang sehr gut betreut. Unser Tauchlehrer Nuno ist mit viel Ruhe auf uns eingegangen. Besonders den ersten Ängste konnte er mit seiner Herangehensweise entgegenwirken. Es lohnt sich sehr, wenn man das Tauchen einmal ausprobieren möchte. Eine große Portion Mut wird allerdings auch benötigt ;-) Wir sind ca 10 Meter tief getaucht und waren so lange unterwegs bis einem kalt wurde. Insgesamt eine unglaubliche Erfahrung! Tolles Team! Preis-Leistung passt vollkommen. Herzlichen Dank für das Erlebnis.

Miguel was our guide but the whole crew were very kind and genuine. We were fortunate that it was toward the end of the season do there were only three of us. Our kayak trip through some cave and around Ponta do Piedade was spectacular. The weather cooperated and it was very professionally handled.

First time kayaking felt well prepared by guide. Took the boat out of the Marina to the caves and then we got into the kayaks so was able to bring a bag and change of clothes. Boat followed us closely throughout the tour.

No better way to start your morning then a gentle kayak out at the sea! Ruben was an awesome guide - made sure everyone in the group was safe and shared lots of info about Lagos

We were out with some other kayaks and the guides. It was relaxed and fun together. The view was really beautiful.
