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.

This was a lovely trip where we saw many fish and also very excited to see a turtle. Getting in the boat would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues as it is a very small ladder on the side of the boat, the guide is in the water with the group and leads everyone they ask the group to stay with them. Water jackets were a must to ensure all safety and snorkles provided were in good condition.

Amazing excursion and highly recommended!

Great trip. Friendly and helpful staff. We took our own snorkel and mask which I'm glad we did as the ones supplied were a little well used. Other than that it was perfect. Snorkeling over the shipwreck was amazing.

Had a wonderful experience snorkelling. The staff and guide were extremely helpful, trustworthy and friendly. They looked after us for the whole trip and made sure we were safe. If you can, bring a waterproof camera/phone pouch for photos of the sea life. The transfer was punctual, reliable and quick from RIU Palace Santa Maria. Thank you Atlantic S for a magical experience

To many people on the boat bigger boat or smaller groups

An sich war die Tour in Ordnung und man konnte viele verschiedene Fische und einige Bootsteile im Wasser sehen, jedoch war der Guide leider zu schnell, sodass man fast nie einfach ruhig die Aussicht unter Wasser genießen und erforschen konnte, und die Schnorchel waren leider auch nicht so sauber, wie man es hätte erwarten können.
