Snorkeling next to the island was amazing. We were able to see turtles swimming calmly in crystal clear water, right near us. It was a unique and unforgettable moment.

Adrena Island staff was very nice, constant instructions and a lot of attention to safety. Sea was upset and the turtles hid, but we were not disappointed.

I saw so many sea turtles and it was honestly a magical experience !! The tour guides were wonderful and super friendly. I think if I ever were to do it again I’d choose scuba diving over snorkeling

In the description it is not clear how the place is, the sea moves a lot, it is close to rocks and it is dangerous to get very close to them, so it is a bit dangerous and you have to know how to swim to know how to leave if something happens, it was also not clear (because of the tide so bitten) it was not so easy to see fish, however I could see turtle, with the warm water but I saw, the snorkel is not full face and swallow water several times because I was not used to do well the vacuum with my mouth, at one point I went away without realizing and stressed because coming back near the boat was not so easy, requires knowing how to swim well and go against the current. I did not dive but if you notice that they had to share the mask that goes in their mouth, that is, someone went down with the mask and the instructor, then went up and passed it to someone else just sanitizing it, they also put the oxygen tank being already in the sea, in other diving experiences I have seen that one goes alone with an instructor, does not have to share a mask and puts the tank before throwing himself in the water, for someone with no experience can be very uncomfortable, even in other agencies one goes down a while to see if he manages to resist, but not here, outside of that, the staff was friendly and friendly. Kisses.

It was totally worth it. Thanks to Sergio and Eduardo for their explanations and patience, I would repeat it without hesitation. I hope to come back so I can dive, it's a paradise

Excellent! Very good service. They have a lot of patience with both snorkeling and diving beginners. We saw turtles!, colorful fish and give you all the necessary equipment. Wetsuits help you float. I loved it and would do it again. By far the best excursion of Floripa!
