    Sunset Boat Trip to Armona Island and Praia Deserta
    "I gave it three stars because I booked the tour without an Italian-speaking guide. As a result, I couldn't get any explanations in my native language, and had to make do with a few words in English and a few in Spanish. Otherwise, everything went according to plan. The guide was also excellent, as was the captain's attention to those with mild mobility issues. Thank you for this experience!"Bruno, September 22, 2025

    "A beautiful excursion not to be missed, to admire the coast from the sea. It was unhurried and the dinghy was not crowded. The guide, Julie, was very good, even with her Italian, which, although not fluent, was easily understood. Her attentiveness, friendliness, and professionalism more than made up for it. Captain Helder, excellent, friendly, and attentive, guided the dinghy, allowing us to fully enjoy the view. Thank you for an experience we will never forget!"Bruno, September 22, 2025
