We had the best time with Daisy and the crew for our 3 hour adventure! The crew were all amazing, so friendly, so much fun and couldn’t do enough for you. They really wanted us to have a good time and were looking out for wildlife for us to see. We had a pod of dolphins swimming with the boat! I got a sea sick but Daisy was amazing making sure I was okay. The snorkelling part was so fun and we saw so many fish. We even got to have a little detour on the dinghy at the end to see some sea turtles. We had so much fun and would 100% recommend!

Fantastic Experience – Highly Recommended! I had a very positive experience. The transfer was perfectly on time, both when picking us up from the hotel and for the return trip. The boat trip itself exceeded our expectations. It was on a catamaran designed for groups of around 20 people, but we were lucky to be with just a small group of 7. We were warmly welcomed by the three crew members who immediately made us feel at ease. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend the trip for those who get seasick easily, as the waves can be quite noticeable but for us, it was part of the fun. With a bit of luck, you might even spot dolphins or sea turtles. The crew checked in with us several times to make sure everything was okay and offered drinks regularly. The trip ends with a snorkeling stop at the underwater Jesus statue (a mini version of the one in Rio). We left at 8:30 AM and were back at the hotel by 12:15 PM. Absolutely recommended!

Wow – thank you so much for this amazing feedback! 💙 We’re so happy everything from the pickup to the boat trip went smoothly and that you felt so welcome on board ⛵😊 The ocean can be a bit bumpy sometimes, but we love that you embraced it as part of the fun! Hope to sail with you again someday – maybe with more dolphins next time 🐬✨
