Great snorkeling and beach experience! - I was very hesitant about snorkeling, and Luis was very patient and convinced me to go out and try it, holding on to him. I would highly recommend this tour, and Luis as the instructor! Also, Chileno Bay was a very nice beach.

Great, Easy Snorkel Experience - As promised! Great experience! Picked us up on time at our hotel lobby and drove us in a comfortable van (A/C!) to two great snorkeling spots. Emiliano and Maury were very friendly and professional, went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable. Snorkel gear was in good working order. Maury swam with us, pointing out rare finds, and guiding us throughout. They set up shade for us on the beach and were kind enough to take photos and give recommendations for the rest of our stay. Highly recommended for folks who want to get out of their resort for an easy snorkel experience at Chileno Bay and Santa Maria Cove— bring a towel and sunscreen and the rest is taken care. No stress.

Great time and lots to see! - Luis was the best! He brought us out right into the reefs where we got to see tons of fish and gorgeous baby mantas 😍. He let us take our time, enjoy the snorkeling and personalized the experience to fit what we wanted to do. Highly recommend, and ask for Luis!

Good Lunch Break - Rua do Santa Maria, Funchal, is well-known for its painted doors but it also has numerous restaurants along the whole length of this narrow, traffic-free, lane. Restaurant Jupiter is the first one at the western end and people seem to walk the length and then choose where to eat. Do not pass by Restaurant Jupiter: its food, service and costs are just right.
