Full description

Snorkeling with sea turtles in the ocean truly is a magical experience. Use this rare occasion to explore the clear waters together with these historical sea creatures. Sao Vicente is the only island in Cape Verde where you can swim and snorkel with turtles in their natural habitat. With a local fishermen's boat and our tour guide you’ll leave Sao Pedro beach behind. After a short boat ride you’ll see the turtles approaching. Take a minute to admire them, put your fins and goggles on and jump in the clear ocean water. This is your chance to approach the turtles while you snorkel around them.

This is the best experience you could possibly do while staying in São Vicente. It was really well organised and the people were so kind helping us in everything that we needed. The Sea Turtles swam right next to you letting you touch them while you enjoy this amazing moments you’ll never forget.
