Fun with my young son kayaking - The guide was excellent with my son (aged 10). This was my son’s first time doing any adventure activity and he loved it. We paddled to a smaller cove, spent some time snorkelling and then came back. Would really recommend lokolokomadeira. Thank you

Kayaking Experience - We had a fabulous time kayaking in a small group with Ben. Ben was so calm, his instructions were clear and he pointed out lots of fish. Felt very safe and looked after on the water. Would highly recommend.

Had a good time - I had a very good time being on the kayak and snorkeling. The guides (Pascal and Roche) were very friendly and fun. The weather conditions were a bit challenging on the way back, but I felt very safe and got a little workout :)
Definitely recommend it.
Thanks a lot again.

Top tour, lovely experience, great instructor! - Great tour, lovely experience!
We were greeted very friendly. Our guide and instructor Ben (Bernardo) was great. He showed us how to kayak, his instructions were christal clear and he took good care of our safety. It was a great adventure overall and the kayak Tour was lovely and good fun. The snorkeling after was way fun and there were many different fish to see, all in a safe area.
We highly recommend this tour, with a guide and instructor like Ben, you will surely have a great time!

Relaxed Kayak Tour followed by Snorkeling - Guide was very friendly and spread good mood
Ben (our guide) told us a lot about the landscape and surroundings and showed us particularly beautiful spots and a rock full of crabs
about 1 1/2 hours of moderately strenuous paddling with repeated breaks in between to look around
then snorkeling in the bay at the hotel with a view of quite a few fish in the crystal clear waters

Great fun - Our guide Mathilde was very nice. Because of the bad weather (a lot of wind and a rough sea) we had to do a shorter snorkeling and kayaking tour, but it was great. We saw a lot of exotic fish.

Good to kayak on the... - Good to kayak on the ocean. However, I did not think this is good for someone who has not kayaked before as the guides were in a separate kayak and did not keep an eye on the two kayaks. Had to get their attention when the other couple fell in. No particular instructions on how to row, reverse, turn. Snorkelling was in a deeper area (rather than a shallow beach) so not so good if you don’t swim well but not a bad experience overall. Some info provided on the different types of fish to see. Guides friendly.
