Snorkeling experience away from the tourist crowds - We had a wonderful day with Pedro and his crew, The trip started with putting on the wetsuits and a little hike over the rocks to a bay. On the way there Pedro enlightened us a lot about the formation of the rock formation. After getting into the water, we moved snorkeling to various secluded caves. There you could discover fossils, but also living flora and fauna. The picnic on the beach with local snacks concluded after about 4h. Thanks for the great tour!

Memory making activity! Such fun - An amazing experienced run by two very gentle kind patient and knowle people. We went as a group of three, mum and two kids ages 9 and 7 having never snorkelled before. Kids were very excited but a littler nervous but Fred and Adriana were so patient with them, giving them time to figure it out themselves and explore. We saw squid, octopus, sea urchin, spider crab, hermit crab, eel, huge shoals of fish and much more. The kids loved exploring the caves and tunnels, although as someone who is not a huge fan of small spaces- climbing in was a little overwhelming for mummy! (All optional though and nothing forced). The walk to the beach does involve climbing some rocks, nothing crazy but worth noting that it is not straight from the beach, although I am sure Fred and Adriana could organise this if needed. It was very quickly to as “the best day ever”. Cannot recommend enough.

Incredible trip with incredible instructers. - What can i say; Pedro and Adriana were absolutely incredible!! I was on a trip with a looked after child with learning disabilities and another member of staff. Pedro was so patient with the young man we were with and did not mind re-explaining himself where needed. The climb, caves, beaches and sea life were amazing and it was incredible to be able to give this young man some space to explore his skills knowing that we were in the safety of such fabulous guides. I would absolutley recommend this trip to anyone visiting portugal. Oh the fruit and biscuits on the beach after the trip was a really nice touch too. Thank you.

Unforgettable and with great accompaniment - The experience with Pedro and Adrianna was just incredible and unforgettable! They already prepared everything for us and provided all important information at the very beginning. We first swam briefly on the beach and then we made a short excursion to the foot. It can be a bit challenging but it took a really short time and the view was breathtaking. And then... we discovered the local caves and Pedro always had very important information and facts for us! The caves were fantastic, really original and unlike anything I've seen so far. In the end we even swam back - and could also enjoy the company of many small fish! On the beach we even had a little refreshment:) The snorkeling session of the caves of the Portuguese Algarve with Pedro and Adrianna was really incredible, totally recommended!
