I quite don't understand others, who complaint - must have been unlucky. The trip was very enjoyable, despite some wind and rocking on the waves. The crew was nice and competent, enough space on real ship, views marvelous, lunch not sophisticated but ok. We have even been able to see big hurdle of pirat whales.

5 out of 5 stars

Very fun activity kayaking in this amazing setting! Ben was our guide and was very relaxed and took some wonderful photos of us and gave us some lovely insight into special facts that we otherwise wouldn’t have known. Do be careful if the waves are strong, especially when getting into the kayak!

5 out of 5 stars

Ben was a fabulous guide around the coast of Caniço. He showed us some fabulous beauty spots while out on the kayaks, regularly took photos of our group which we all received back on land. Perfect snorkelling spot protected from rips etc. Brilliant morning activity!
