5.00We loved everything! We initially had the activity scheduled for August, but due to an unforeseen we had on our part, we had to remarket. The Débora was impeccable, understood the whole situation and we finally made our tour in September. It was spectacular. Both Débora and our guide Peter were always 5 stars!!! The walk was magical. We would like to repeat both this experience and all the others that Seatru offers! We highly recommend! Thanks ❤️

Gorgeous beaches and great guide (Pieter)

5.00For us it was very worth it. The kayaks are transparent and so it was an exciting experience. The area is pure nature. The beaches we were shown were really beautiful. I would also like to highlight our guide Pieter. He is open, motivated and you can feel his enjoyment of work. You automatically get more pleasure from the excursion. My girlfriend does not speak Portuguese and I speak poor English. So he went out of his way to tell me in Portuguese and to tell my girlfriend in English. We really appreciated that and would like to thank you very much. He gave us great tips from the village, as he also lives in the area and knows well.
A little fascinating walk

5.00It was a pleasant and very interesting walk, physically accessible, supported by a friendly and attentive instructor. During the tour you can see various forms of marine life through the transparent bottom of the boat that are even in good condition without any risk
An experience to repeat
