What our guests say about our experiences
Nikola Toth2025-06-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole tour a great adventure. Snorkeling gear was included, which was a nice bonus. Although we couldn’t set foot on Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo due to conservation efforts, the experience of seeing it up close was still absolutely worth it. I’d 100% recommend this trip to anyone wanting a closer look at the island and a fun day out on the water. Ivo Belfo2025-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
