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.

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 ??.

Une expérience inoubliable et bouleversante. Grâce aux explications passionnantes de Jeannette, nous avons découvert le monde fascinant des tortues avant d’assister, sur la plage, à un moment magique : la ponte. Sous les étoiles, face à ce miracle de la nature. Un souvenir gravé à jamais.

Die Tour war insgesamt sehr gut, einzig der alterbedingte Zustand der Ausrüstung war schade. Der Guide hat gute Stellen zum Schnorcheln ausgewählt und die Gruppe gut zusammengehalten. Der Driver war enorm höflich und zuvorkommend. Lediglich der Motor sollte beim Einsteigen und in der Nähe von Personen ausgeschaltet werden. Ein tolles Erlebnis.

Sea was too rough to snorkel by our hotel, so we were transported to Santa Maria in a car and then had to swim out to the boat. Boat took us quite a long way out of the bay to quiet waters. We saw turtles, loads of beautiful shoals of fish and marine life. The guide was very attentive to my 14year old son. We were well cared for, as this was our first experience of snorkelling. We were given life jackets and all equipement that we needed. Very personal service. Great value.

Less waiting around. Great experience though
