“We highly recommend this tour! 💯👍 A very smart driver picked us up at our hotel in Mindelo. We drove approx. 15 minutes to the beach in Sao Petro. Diego, our tour guide was already there and started immediately to prepare the boot. He gave us security instructions also life jackets. My wife stayed in the boot while I went snorkeling. It was amazing to see the sea turtles and fishes too. Four big ones surrounded me while swimming and snorkeling. After a while even a bigger one showed up. On board again Diego told us about the wildlife and fishing activities in this area. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ka and Andi”

Vor Ort ging es gleich aufs Boot. Es gab eine Tauchbrille und Schnorchel, allerdings keine Schwimmweste oder Flossen. Im Nachhinein war keine Schwimmweste nötig. Das Salzwasser trug einen von alleine. Es waren viele Schildkröten da. Ich konnte tolle Bilder machen. Man sollte körperlich für den Ausflug fit sein, da man über eine kurze Leiter wieder in das Boot klettern muss. Der Ausflug hat sich total gelohnt!”
