Review of São Miguel’s glass-bottom boat and snorkeling tour, with marine biology, volcanic scenery, family-friendly swimming, and practical tips.

“We had a lot of fun, first we thought the snorkeling might be a bit short, cuz the Guide talked alot about Fish & Vegetation, but we had a long time in the Water und even beyond the 2hours we were busy close up to 3 hours. The guide kept us as a group during the trip in the water and frequently asked if anybody wants ro go back to the boat. The Captain was also quite funny and very friendly. Totaly recommend that tour!”

However, the tour is very much for beginners and the experience is basic. If you’ve never done snorkelling before, then this tour is highly recommended, otherwise, it can be limited and a bit boring.”

Explore the Algarve coast by swimming, climbing, snorkeling, and cliff jumping near Sagres on a small-group coasteering adventure.

“This activity will definitely be one of my favourite things from my entire trip! Our guide (André) was the BEST EVER. Made our trip so much fun and went out of his way to give us the best experience possible. (He even picked us up right by our hostel!) This was such a fun way to spend our day. The jumping was definitely something out of some of our comfort zones, but he made sure to support us and let us go at our own levels. The snorkelling was so much fun and a great way to break up the coasteering. My favourite thing about this experience was the views.…”

We met outside the station in Faro then had a 3/4 hour journey up the coast to these breath taking caves and beaches along stunning coastline. The hike follows a rough trail so use suitable footwear, trainers were fine for us. All age ranges would suit this activity, myself and two other friends did this and it certainly didn’t disappoint.”

The snorkelling was great and we were well looked after. The girls in the Lokoloko office were lovely, friendly and helpful. Will come back and go on trips with them again.”
