Review of São Miguel’s glass-bottom boat and snorkeling tour, with marine life, expert guides, practical tips, price, and booking advice.
“The activity was amazing! You get to sail and see the San Miguel island from the ocean, discover about the history of San Miguel and Azores, take a look at the small island near Vila Franca, see different species that live in the nearby waters from the boat and finally swim between them taking a closer look. I really recommend this activity if you want to try snorkell with guidance in a place full of history and animals!”

“Diogo and his partner are great! Punctual and good communicators. I knew exactly what to expect. He brought us to a very cool bay where we could swim, snorkel, and hang out. The kayaking was a bit strenuous but very beautiful. He gave a good instructional on how to kayak properly and even gives energy drinks to help you get back. I had a lot of fun and felt very safe!”

Inês picked us up from Lisbon to go to Arrábida where we met our other guide, Thiago. Both were super friendly and helpful when in need. Both the kayak and the snorkeling were very nice experiences. Highly recommend!”

Hike the Seven Hanging Valleys, see Benagil Cave from above, snorkel at Marinha Beach, and visit Senhora da Rocha from Faro.

Explore Arrábida’s secret beaches, caves, cliffs, and snorkeling stop on a three-hour boat trip from Sesimbra to Cabo Espichel.
“The tour captain and tour guide were excellent. I gave them a 5 star as I don't want to ruin their status, but the boat is not the one pictured. You have to straddle a large bumper for the entire ride and may not be comfortable for some. When booking the trip, the maximum was 8, but as they changed the boat, the tour was then made for 12 people. We were not looking for that kind of a tour, but again the staff was very professional, and the captain navigated the waters well. The scenary, beaches stops and caves were wonderful. The water was too cold to swim.”
