5.00Amaro was a very good guide, very patient and very kind. Tiago took very good photos and was very attentive as well. Everything is worth it, especially the incredible photos with the beautiful rocks.

5.00We had a great couple of hours out with Miguel who was very helpful and very friendly. most of us had never done it before, the equipment was good and you were given a life vest , your guide takes photos and you can buy them on line afterwards. our trip was originally booked for 10am but the swell did not suit paddle boarding, we had the option of cancelling and getting a refund or rescheduling till 4pm, so glad we decided to stay around , we had a couple of hours on the beach and a fab lunch in the local restaurant Il Borgo. would definitely recommend this if y ou have a couple of hours spare.
Would recommend, excellent customer care!

5.00The guys were extremely helpful with everything, I had a tough time with the kayak and the sea in general but they were lovely, understanding, and helpful would definitely recommend for beginners that need the extra support! The beach it’s on is stunning and there’s somewhere to keep your stuff safe as well as a wash area.
Great short paddle trip.

5.00This was a perfect 2 hour tour on a paddle board. The guide, Lucas, seemed generally excited and happy to be showing us the cliffs and the caves. It was a very short paddle to the caves so was easy and leisurely to get done in the 2 hours. The wind was calm for our trip but worth checking the forecast.

5.00Excellent, patient tour guide who got us all eventually up! We felt very safe. Beautiful grottos, beaches, and caves that we got to paddle right into. We had trouble getting there and arrived late and they still were able to include us. Highly recommended.

5.00Great way to experience the coast! Even though we are experienced paddle boarders, most of our experience is in lakes rather than the ocean. Our guide was patient and did frequent check ins to see if we needed breaks. The caves are stunning and our guide, Kumon, even took photos for us!
