“I think this was the most amazing experience I ever had! Fredy and Chris were excellent guides and we had lots of fun after I stupidly lost my shoe in the sand and we couldn’t find it anywhere. Gladly I could get new ones on our next stop. We could spot some sharks and we got lots of laughter while driving through the dunes. I really highly recommend this tour to anyone!”

Our guide Vagner did everything very well, was very nice and took care of safety! I recommend to everyone who wants to experience the “real Boa Viste”!!!”
Search for humpback whales off Boa Vista with a marine biologist, hotel pickup, drinks, and a three-hour yacht trip from Sal Rei.
“Saw no Whales which was fine- understood the risk whilst booking the trip. The thing that agitated me was the instructor who when asked 'did you see any whales on the morning trip?' (we were on the afternoon slot)- told us 'No, to be honest we are now out of season for the whales we likely won't see any.' keeping the trip open and available to book. Paying £130 for two people, and knowing we weren't really in season. This is greed by the provider, and the option to book should be limited to the particular season. All should be refunded. thanks”

They didn't say anything. I was supposed to go today but again no communication, I want my money back and the time I wasted!!! This is a scam!”

“Super nette Tourenleitung mit Nicole, die uns geduldig alle Fragen auf Deutsch beantwortet hat. Auf den Pickup‘s ist es teils schon sehr anstrengend, vor allem Richtung Schiffswrack. Ansonsten kann ich die Tour allen für den ersten groben Überblick empfehlen - alles drin. Das Essen am Strand von Santa Monica: top! Nur leider über die GJG-Buchung nicht inklusive, bei den Locals wäre sie inbegriffen. Haben wir leider zu spät gecheckt…”
