Amazing tour ! - We booked kayak and snorkeling and it was a blast. Lino, our guide, was very energetic, informative and a fun person ! We were also very lucky to see 2 monk seals just by our kayak ☺️. The view was amazing even with a bit of rain. We also snorkel and saw a lot of colorful fishes ! In the end we had a small boat tour which was really fun ! We recommend this compagny for sure !!

Kayaking in the wonderful waters of madeira - I have to say I've been kayaking in many places but this trip in madeira was amazing! Rui was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was safe and happy. The trip was peaceful at times, and then it felt like I was in hawai 5 O, paddling fast and smoothly! Thank you Rui for saving my plonker who flipped his kayak and fell in (he had no experience). You quickly reacted and made sure my plonker wasn't panicked and got him back onboard. Rui, you were bloody amazing! The cost was reasonable and we got an extra 45mins added to the trip! There was a sealion fishing for fish which was a brucey bonus, he was definitely a big boy! I also got to jump in for a lovely swim right at the end... I would definitely recommend kayaking here, all 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed the excursion. The boat trip back was also amazing, we were taken to a cave which was breathtaking! Thank you again I'll be booking again for next year!

Top - Top experience, top guide. We were a fairly small group which was super pleasant. Definitely recommended and not heavy at all.

Great kayaking trip! - Fantastic afternoon at Ponta de Sao Lourenco. First a boat ride out to the location where the kayaks were kept. Then a kayak trip with a guide, pointing out various areas of interest. Followed by time to snorkel. We snorkeled with a sea turtle and some very colourful fish. On the boat ride back to the marina we received a guided tour of the coast line. We really enjoyed the trip!

Good experience! - We really enjoyed kayaking with them! Our guide was friendly and encouraging and he told us interesting facts about Madeira. We managed to spot a seal and there was even snorkelling included. We would definitely recommend but we suggest to use a good sunscreen.

Kayak Nice visit - On top. Well organized. A nice course with friendly guides. The taxi boat is also nice to do as they stop at points to see during the transfer.

Nice kayaking experience but the rest around it didn't seem well thought out - The kayak excursion was nice but unfortunately we were quite a big group, almost 20 people, and the whole time I felt like the outline of the activity wasn't well explained and they were passing us on form one "person in charge" to another (in the office, on the boat, whilst the kayak, and back on the boat). First they took us on a bigger boat, this much is said, but we took all our things with us and left them in a shed on the site and had to quickly get ready to start with the kayaking. It's also a bit confusing as some people on the boat are a part of the excursion while others merely take the transportation instead of walking to the end point. When we started the kayaking experience, the monitor was very helpful with the kayaks and even took pics during the tour since we couldn't really take any of our stuff with us. We rowed for about 2h, listened to some interesting facts and had a break for some swimming and snorkeling, but when we came back to the shed to get our stuff we then had to make time for about 1h until the boat took us back to the meeting place. I would have loved to maybe walk the way back or would have taken different things/shoes with, having known how the whole activity looked like.

Assessment - They don't foresee the strong wind it was. Bottom diving little varied and almost lifeless. The best boat that leads from the port to the kayaks. Also attentive staff. They gave neither drinks nor snacks, as advertised on the web. We wouldn't come back.
