Beautiful scenery, but English speakers beware - This is the second experience I booked through Viator that advertised an English guide where one was not provided.
I do not speak Portuguese. When I travel, for this reason, I book excursions where English is provided as I enjoy learning about the places I am visiting. This tour started off with English/Spanish/Portuguese on the bus. But once we reached Angra, I was placed on a speedboat with another guide who spoke NO ENGLISH and I was with him and 18 passengers for 5 hours with no directions. This was horrible for safety reasons! And also scary not being able to tell what was going on or what we were seeing. For example, we would be given time to swim from the boat to snorkel but I could tell tell the perimeter I was supposed to keep, or the time to return.
The positive of the day was that the water and scenery were beautiful.
To add insult to the isolation of my day, I asked for a partial refund and it was not granted. No reason given. If you pay for an English tour, and are not given one, you should not have to pay full price! I deserved the same experience as the other boaters who knew what was going on and who were safe.
My advice is, if you don't speak Portuguese, do not book this excursion.
