The wonders of the seas in Sal live just under the surface. And this snorkelling tour is the best way to discover them. Speed away from the coast of Cape Verde to a top dive spot and make a splash in the South Atlantic. And with the help of a PADI-certified guide, you're in with a chance of spotting colourful banks of coral, deep lagoons and an array of exotic fish.

Less waiting around. Great experience though

Båt, personal och utrustning var bra. Så här års, december, blåser det dock enormt mycket och med röd flagg på stranden (vilket är vanligt vintertid på Kap Verde) så var det dålig visibilitet och galet kallt både i luften och i vattnet (trots våtdräkter).

My friend, Sarah and I booked the trip via your Tui rep, Natalie, at Robinsons Capo Verde. On the day of the trip, Thursday, 11/12/25, red flags were flying at the resort and the sea was very rough with lots of white waves. Sarah and I decided the conditions were too rough to snorkle. No rep was available at the hotel, most disappointing. We got reception to email Natalie in the morning, advising we wanted to cancel. No reply was received. I rang TUI & the lady dropped. Actions unacceptable.

We saw turtles, we saw wrecks, we saw fish. Only downside and I feel this needs mentioning, the boat or should I say rib, getting off not a problem, but for the older generation and slightly less agile and flexible, getting on was hard work, 2 people cut their legs on our trip, at the start you have to haul your leg over, and during the trip climb your way up.a.small set of metal steps.

The guys kindly picked us up from our hotel after they needed to rearrange our time. Our guide was called Brian and he couldn't have been more helpful. He was just lovely and apologised when the weather conditions weren't perfect (obviously he couldn't help that!), but we still saw a good range of fish and we really enjoyed it! The only thing that could improve would be a new minibus with some seat belts ??.

Enjoyed seeing the ship wreck colourful fish and turtle. I didn’t like the little rubber dinghy I thought it was going to be a proper boat . The dinghy had nothing to hold on to and we were sat on the edge ( me and my 3 children) I had no room to get flippers on and felt rushed getting ready with the snorkel. The guy controlling the boat was rushing my daughter to get snorkel on and was pulling it on her face and managed to catch her nose piercing and there was blood everywhere.
