Experiência Recomendada. Decorreu muito bem desde a pontualidade do elemento que nos recolheu no hotel até ao local da prática de Snokeling. Seguimos com explicação da atividade a mistura de muito humor ,tranquilidade e simpatia do monitor. Recomendo esta inesquecível experiência em grupo pequeno tal como foi feita...observar o fundo do mar dentro das piscinas naturais com extrema segurança para todas as faixas etárias.

Such an amazing trip with a professional guide. We were lucky cus it felt like just hanging out on the ocean with friends. Good talking, nice jokes and beautiful views. Matias with Sherlock (Portuguese water dog) are the best.

Matias is an excellent guide. He knows the place like the back of his hand. The place is full of life and beauty. To be repeated in the future.

A unique and fantastic experience! Matias manages to make Snorkeling accessible to anyone, with or without experience. Unmissable.

Brilliant, The driver was very informative, very interesting and drove with passion, quite quickly, but I enjoyed it
