Canceled the reservation. I know they said it was because of the ocean conditions not being conducive to seeing a lot of the sea life but very disappointing since it was the only day we had booked an activity and couldn't go.

The weather was bad for snorkelling and forecast to be bad on the day booked for the experience so the organisers contacted me to book an alternative experience which we did not want. Consequently they initiated a cancellation and a refund which was paid promptly.
We had a private tour for a group of 10 for snorkeling. The trip included sightseeing, transportation from our location, snorkeling and underwater photos. Their communication was excellent before and during the experience. They contacted us 2 days earlier to make sure of our sizes and pickup location were correct. The guides were very friendly and explained very thorougly about the Portuguese nature. They answered our questions really well and the level of English was really good. Wetsuits and other snorkeling equipment was provided by them, which worked good. Maybe a couple of masks were a bit foggy (even though they had been treated with antifog substance). The snorkeling surroundings were phenomenal. The beach wasn't crowded and the water was clear. The journey to the beach from parking space was quite rocky but it didn't bother at all when we arrived to the beach. All in all I would highly recommend this experience. If you make a booking from GetStoked, I would recommend asking for recommendations and talking with the guides actively, so you get most out of your experience. + Guides were professional, friendly and kind + Snorkeling location was really good
It was one of the best experiences of my stay in Lisbon! It's great for anyone who loves nature, swimming, animals and beaches. Mind you - the water can be cold, this is the ocean. We saw octopuses, lots of fish and a small crab. The weather was gorgeous and the guides make sure you go on a day with a beautiful forecast. Don't be upset if it gets cancelled - they just want to make sure you go on an ideal day, I waited and wasn't disappointed. 20/10, recommended with my whole heart!!!
I saw two octopus and a sea urchin! Fabulous day trip from Lisbon. Be prepared. Even worth the wetsuit the water is cold. But worth it!
Nuno was a brilliant guide, very friendly and full of stories about Portugal! This snorkeling experience would be fantastic for beginners or nervous swimmers as you walk from the beach into waist deep water and you are able to see a variety of animals - we saw 3 octopuses! Arrabida is stunning, the beach we went to was very pretty. Water was freezing so I didn’t stay in as long as I could have, but a lovely experience regardless.
Nuno was a very good guide, he was aware of our safety all the time. It is a very nice experience. We saw some types of fish and the beach was relatively few people.
This experience was one of the best things I’ve ever done! It was straight up amazing. We got picked up and taken to the beach, which was beautiful and almost empty. Everything went in a good pace and he took the time to make sure that we felt safe and good in the water and with all the equipment. When we started snorkeling we saw a whole other world under the sea filled with fish and other sea life. The water was so nice, warm and clear for us to enjoy! After the snorkeling we stayed at the beach a little bit to enjoy the sun and the amazing views. We got taught about Portugal and it’s people and way of life and we were having great conversations about the world. We drove home again to Lisbon after a few hours and on the way back we got some fantastic recommendations for the rest of our trip. Thank you so much to Filipe for the amazing experience 🌞
It was an incredible first expérience of snorkeling ! We had a really great Time with our guide « Nuno ». idyllic landscape! Thanks
Our guide was Filipe - very competent, nice guy with a lot of interesting stories and insights. It was a real pleasure - Filipe picked us up at our hotel in Sesimbra and brought us back than, so we had nothing to worry about. He also had all the equipement for us (wet suit, snorkelling masks etc.) and provided us with very useful introduction into snorkelling. We were about 1,5 hours in water - watching the underwater world. Filipe was all the time with us - assisting and filming us. Very cool experience!
Filipe was an excellent guide and made this tour spectacular for my boyfriend and I. It turned out to be just us two with Filipe, though it certainly felt like we were being led by a friend than anything. He was very informative, attentive and kind. We learned a lot about Portugal, its environment and marine life just by snorkelling with Filipe, as well as learning how to snorkel properly. Would highly recommend this tour!
Filipe was a great guide, picked me up on time and was lovely to chat to on the way to the national park. He had a lot of cool info and travel tips and was super chatty and friendly. Everything is provided for (wetsuit, snorkelling equipment etc) and once you get in the water he's very good at teaching the basics if you're a first timer. The location is lovely, and you get to see plenty of sea life including colorful fish, sea urchins, mussels, and all sorts else. The walk down is a bit steep, so it's definitely an activity for someone who's physically active, but other than that, I couldn't recommend more!
I would highly recommend this trip, our guides were both extremely knowledgable about the area and wildlife life and super friendly people 😊 cannot recommend this enough!!!! Was more than we could have hoped for.
We didn't know what to expect, but it was an amazing experience! Our guide, Nuno, was so friendly. During the car ride, he shared info and background info about his job, snorkeling and the city. I will definitly do this again!
It was a fantastic trip and we had a lot of fun. Nuno was a great guide and gave us interesting infos about Portugal and life there. We highly recommended it.
Amazing experience with the best guide and team. Arrabida was a beautiful place with pristine beaches . Water was cold but since weather was warm it felt good. We were provided training and wet suits before snorkeling
Our guide Nuno picked us up and took us snorkeling at this wonderful beach in Arrabida Nat'l Park. Not only did he manage to take our daughter into the water and make her lose her fear of looking at the fish, he showed us his favourite spot with such enthusiasm and care that it was impossible not to enjoy the experience. Needless to say that the landscape and nature that we saw was outstanding and the beach we reached after a short hike made us gasp with fascination. So beautiful! We saw many different species of fish despite staying close to the shore and if the water had not been so cold, we would have stayed in there much longer. The drive out there was well planned and due to the friendly conversation as well as some awesome perspectives of e.g. the bridge or the landscape felt much shorter than it actually was. We can only recomment going for it! Enjoy!
My wife and I had an amazing time snorkeling and taking in the scenery. We had a terrific and informative guide and it really made our whole trip. Thanks Filipe!
<p>Felipe was our guide and he really made the tour. He was so informative and funny and really taught us about the ecological area. Snorkeling was okay but unfortunately it was very foggy so the sites were not as spectacular as pictured. But it was fun to swim the Atlantic ocean.</p>
We excitedly booked a guided tour through this platform, but unfortunately our experience turned out to be an absolute disaster. The guide who was supposed to accompany us never showed up, leaving us perplexed and frustrated. After waiting patiently for two hours, our wait was rewarded with nothing but disappointment. We were really looking forward to seeing the local attractions and learning about the history of the area, but it all remained an unfulfilled dream due to the guide's absence.
A superb experience that I recommend to carry out! Despite not top weather conditions, Nuno, our guide, was very friendly with us, allowing us to carry out this activity in very good conditions! Hiking in the Arrabida reserve, then diving, was great. Many thanks again to Nuno!
it was my first experience, it overcame my expectations. Philip, he's an incredible, very thoughtful person, very helpful, he has a very good energy, and it's been a pleasure enjoying the beauty of Arrabida National Park with this extraordinary company. It was simply incredible!! Starting with the professionalism of the Enterprise, clarifying all the details before, punctuality, finally, excellent Service provided. Filipe (guide and owner), is an off-series Cover! Extremely friendly, helpful, and with a very good energy. Thank you, Filipe, for the incredible experience, and for being this incredible Cover! Embrace! Fué imenso increíble!, one of the improvores sensations of my life, the direct contact with nature, with the immense maritime life that has Ali. Even though Filipe is an incredible person! Very helpful, friendly and with a very good energy. Thank you, Filipe, for the incredible experience and for the incredible person you are!
Amazing experience with friendly, attentive and concerned instructors and provide us the best experience possible.
