Customer Reviews
This was truly an amazing experience! The guide was awesome and he covered everything in detail. He was also very knowledgeable of the ecosystem and the culture so we learned a lot along the way. The activities were fun and exciting and not too challenging at all. It was an unforgettable adventure experience!
We have done a lot of tours all over and this one was one of the best ones by far. Antonio our guide was amazing!! He was kind, knowledgeable, and patient with my family and our whole group. My family has a variety of ages and levels and everyone was able to participate and enjoy! Antonio brought a snack with him which was really nice and the beach was absolutely beautiful. This tour had a little of everything snorkelling, swimming, cliff jumping, exploring a cave, and lots of kayaking. All of it was really enjoyable and we all felt really safe and well looked after by Antonio. We would absolutely do this tour again and will be telling all of our family and friends who travel to Portugal about this day trip. Thanks again antonio for an amazing day!
December 27 2024, kayak and snorkel tour with Miguel and our family of 5 (adult and teen kids). We had the best day out at the beach. First other coastline and beach are beautiful and it was wonderful to see from the water. Ocean kayaking was a bit of a challenge for some of us, but we never felt rushed and appreciated the wet suits when we went in! Cliff jumping with multiple levels was great for all to participate, and snorkeling was cold, but spectacular with the clear water and loads of fish. It was such fun to kayak through the rock “island” to theme music. Miguel had great energy, went over and above with the theme music, go pro photos and video. He stopped at a local pastry shop on the way back to sample some wine and pastry, which was the perfect end to the day. Transport to and from Lisbon was smooth, all communication was clear and prompt. Would definitely book a tour with this company again. The only challenge was the lack of bathroom/ changing facility at the beach due to it being off season/ holidays.
