This was the BEST snorkeling experience! My son and I had a great time and saw lots of beautiful fish. The team was great, very accommodating, kind and fun! Stunning views during the boat ride to the snorkeling cove. Definitely recommend!

We really didn’t see much of anything. Could be because of the current or could be because the snorkel gear was repeatedly getting fogged up. Myself and others had a hard time seeing through them and we expected more out of a diving place. The wetsuits kept us warm, but they were so ripped up they kept falling off. We couldn’t find the place because you can only see the sign when coming down the hill. Took us 15 minutes to find the place and when we did, the lady just rudely told us “it’s on the website. There’s a video” and seemed like it was our fault we couldn’t find the place. We received no message after booking at all saying to arrive early for putting on the wetsuits or where to meet. We booked through Trip Advisor, not the website, so we saw no video nor did we receive a message with a video. Very little talking on the boat with instructions and no one got in the water to guide you over to wherever the fish were. Once I got out of the water and only then, did one of the guys show me a book with the different types of fish. Worst snorkeling experience I’ve ever had. Would not recommend washing your time. Best part was just the boat ride going over there.

Nice and kind stuff. Our main guide , ocean biologist Natasha described us all of animals we can met and was our support during time in water. We saw mamy of local fish and during way to Garajau we saw dolphins and on way back monk seal.

Wonderful experience with Natasha, a marine biologist, who explained everything in a way for all to understand what we were going to see and how the snorkeling equipment is best used. Everyone had a great time and must have been good, we got a snack at the end. Highly recommend the opportunity.

The beaming smile on my daughter's face. The team is young (true that at my age they tend to be), intelligent and full of life. It was a first for me and my daughter and had no idea what we had let ourselves in for. The crew made the group comfortable, and both my daughter and I were enchanted by Natasha who looked after us very well. I fell like sac in the water like a troll in the nursery and to my amasement, Natasha could convince all those beautiful sea creatures to come and greet us. We believe she has magical powers. Thank you to the whole team! I did nottake any photos, it is all kept in a special place down memory lane.

The staff were great. We arrived at the diving centre, received our flippers (snorkel & mask were on the boat), we were then driven to the marina & it took about a 15mins boat ride to get to our location - saw hundreds of fishes of different varieties and even an octopus. I’d only snorkelled once before & I wasn’t great at it, but our guide gave me a couple of tips and I did much better. Highly recommended.

The snorkeling is really fun! And the guide is very funny and knows lots of information of local fish and surrounding Definitely a fun activity to do when you are in Madeira.

After our last visit we went back for a Snorkeling trip this time. As usual we have been very happy with these guys. Ponta de Sao Lourenço is truly an amazing place, is where they take these amazing pics with amazing cliffs and blue waters. The equipment was clean and in excellent conditions. They provided us a wetsuit which was very welcome since the water was a bit chilly compared to the carribean where we usually go. A lot of fish to see, small, big, colorful, strange crabs. After more or less 1.5 hours we headed back doing a tour of the coastline of Baia D'Abra. After all it's 2 trips at the cost of one. lol
