Itinerary and highlights

The number one snorkeling experience in the Algarve!
This isn't an ordinary activity and you should definitely try it out! We're marine biologists who love working with small groups, ensuring everyone feels at ease even if you've never tried anything similar before. There's plenty of time to snorkel and relax on hidden beaches. We'll also explore secret caves and make stops along the way to capture photos in stunning places! Our full morning experience starts at 9am and ends around 1pm with a tasty picnic at the beach.

Do you love to get away from the crowded beaches and prefer to visit the local secret spots? Here we have lots of caves with openings on the top through where the sun shines inviting us to walk in, sit down and relax. The connection between these natural temples is the sea, so you can simultaneously experience the ocean and the coast - enjoying the best of the two worlds! We’ll snorkel in calm bays where you are able to see a totally different environment with underwater gardens and families of fish swimming by. With comfortable wetsuits floating above this paradise couldn’t be easier!

Welcome to our favourite spot!
