A thrilling experience for our family! - This was our first time snorkeling and we weren’t sure if the weather would be safe or the visibility any good, but decided to take the chance. Our guide put us at ease and the boat and skipper felt safe and in control. It was a great opportunity to not only snorkel but also to see Vila Franca do Campo from the ocean and the tour around the island was an added highlight!

Best snorkeling trip , great value, loads of fun. - Absolutely loved this, young guy with amazing English was very friendly, helpful and informative. We were very fortunate to be the only 2 people on the snorkeling tour around the island. So many beautiful fish 🐟 🐠 and felt warm in wetsuit despite it being February. Carlos made the boat journey exciting although felt very safe the entire time.

Spectacular - Excellent “private tour” because my partner and I only went by fast boat around the island and the coast of Vila franca do campo. Pedro was our guide and together with the pilot we made a spectacular tour of the area, where we could almost touch the rocks, the crabs, etc... Wonderful with the fauna and formations of the ilha, it is a highly recommended excursion. Now (2025) you can not swim on the islet and to enter you need permits, but the excursion is worth it....and you can also snorkel nearby

Fabulous experience!! - Our snorkeling trip with our guides Emanuel and Dominic was fabulous! It was just our family of three on the boat so it was a great experience. The area is so beautiful and we saw an octopus, eel, and many colorful fish. They gave us plenty of time to explore the area. I’ve been on several snorkeling trips and this was the best! Highly recommend!!

Oct morning snorkel - Pedro (guide) & Dominque were great. We spent about 45 minutes in the water, there was a stronger current that morning, and they managed expectations about this not being a coral reef so what we will see will be different. We also took the boat around the island. Equipment in good condition.
