Kayaking in "Oil" with Tiago/Gorgeous Morning - This morning excursion in the Bay could not have been easier. Tiago our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining, commanding an impressive fluidity in English. The water was like "oil" as they say in Portuguese, smooth, gentle, and unbelievably calm, making kayaking very easy. Saw lots of fish and observed the rock formations. It was a beatiful morning and my thanks to Tiago for making it so pleasant.

Great Honeymoon Adventure! - Tiago was our guide and we had a wonderful time! My husband and I loved how easy the location was to find, how Tiago was fun, informative, and safety conscious, and how we had plenty of time to snorkel! If we had more time on our trip I would have booked another day to go again! Definitely a highlight of our delayed honeymoon. Pro tip: bring a GoPro or some sort of underwater camera - we didn’t and wish we had!

Great experience and well worth the money - This was a great experience. We were given wetsuits and life jackets. We initially went kayaking, which was a bit hard and required a good level of fitness, but it was fun. We stopped several times to go snorkeling, and we spotted several fish. We were also given a gopro to take videos and pictures. Our guide was very helpful and explained to us which fish were present in that part of Madeira and which ones we could possibly encounter.
After the kayaking, we went back to shore and were allowed to snorkel there. The fish there are not afraid of humans. The guide threw small chunks of bread at the water, and the fish would come for it. They would swim all around us, and we even managed to touch a few. There were several types in many colours and sizes. We're 100% doing this again when we come back to Madeira.

Well organised tour with scenic views and good snorkeling - Booked via tripadvisor. Instructions for meeting were clear and the company seemed well organised. Our 2 guides were friendly and knowledgeable pointing out sights along the way. Stopping to snorkel was fun and we saw plenty of fish.

Not great value for money - It was meant to be three hours kayaking and snorkeling. It was two and half hours, which included a good half hour on launch and recovery. The Kayaks were launched down a ladder, the guide worked hard, perhaps some help from his colleagues would have speeded this up. We were also given a link for photos, none were taken. However there was no extra charge for this. The Snorkel was a dip, and a hard swim to chase the kayaks

Okay trip - We went with a nice guide to the location, the kayaking was okay, but the snorkelling was quite short (20 min) and we did not see much fishes or plants.
They would take pictures of us but all we got was a picture of 30+ meters away.
