      Great guides

      Sally_R, Sep 2026
      Tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and fun. Great tour of the caves and ample time to snorkel. It was a bit choppy the day we went and Sept 1. So very very cold. Saw many different fish but really had to look as the water was murky. Great if you like to snorkel but would say a calm day would be much better.

      Misleading and disappointing

      gustavo_c, Aug 2026
      Quite the disappointment. I specifically booked this experience for my family because it portrays itself as a snorkeling experience, however it was far from it. We spent about an hour slowly making our way to a spot where we dropped anchor and were given some old snorkeling goggles and told to hop out of the 10 foot dinghy about 50 feet from shore. My young kids can swim but definitely not well enough to handle themselves in open ocean waters so I had to swim them individually to shore and then back within the 15 minute “snorkeling time.” Had I known this was just another half baked tour and not a snorkeling experience, I surely wouldn’t have booked it. For slightly more money I could have booked us a 2-3 hour tour on a 30 foot yacht where we could tour the coastline in comfort.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our snorkeling experience includes a guided tour of the Ponta da Piedade caves, which is done at a slower pace so that our crew can safely explain the different sights along the way. Regarding the snorkeling equipment, we regularly inspect and replace it to ensure that it is safe and suitable for our guests. We’re sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your review.

      Perfect!
