Tomas was simply amazing! Extremely patient, fun and very professional. From the beginning made us feel completely safe and at ease throughout the whole ride. The experience was unforgettable, and his attention and good mood made all the difference. I recommend closed eyes to those who want to live this adventure with peace and confidence. We would definitely do it all again!
Very good! Louis was a great guide. Certainly an experience to repeat
Hello! I am Joaquin from Argentina. I highly recommend the excursion with Arrabida Experiences, you will not regret it. In the morning, I had a very good snorkeling excursion, and they saw that I was ready to take a step up, so they encouraged me to do my diving baptism later. Incredible experience, I had a great time and the guides Luis and Katerina were always supportive, true geniuses and good professionals, it showed. I was very happy with the day, hire this team, you will not regret it. I will return for more... big hug (Clarification: these are activities that are very fun, but be honest with yourselves as well and consult with the office about which activities would be suitable for you.) They will advise you very well, and if the guides see that you are ready for more, as was my case, trust and continue)
Hola Joaquín! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muchas gracias por tu increíble reseña. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaste tanto la excursión de snorkel y tu bautismo de buceo, y que Luis y Katerina te acompañaron y te hicieron sentir seguro y bien guiado en todo momento. También agradecemos mucho tu recomendación y tu mensaje sobre dejarse asesorar — es exactamente así como nos gusta trabajar, adaptando la experiencia a cada persona. Ha sido un placer tenerte con nosotros. ¡Te esperamos de vuelta para más aventuras! 🌊🤿 Un fuerte abrazo desde Arrábida 🚣♂️
It was one of the best experiences I have had in my life, and much of this is due to the incredible team of Arrábida Experiences especially to Catarina who was my instructor, I am immensely grateful for helping me to realize a dream 👏🏻👏🏻
Muito obrigado pelas suas palavras! 👏🏽 Ficamos muito felizes por saber que esta experiência ficou marcada de uma forma tão especial. Para nós é uma enorme alegria fazer parte da realização desse sonho. A Catarina e toda a equipa da Arrábida Experiences agradecem o carinho — é exatamente por momentos como este que fazemos o que fazemos. Esperamos voltar a recebê-lo em breve para mais aventuras inesquecíveis! 🤿🌊
It was great for a first expérience, I want to pass my SSI open water now!
Thank you so much for your review! 😊 We’re really happy to hear your first experience was a great one and that it inspired you to continue your journey into diving. That’s amazing! Wishing you the best of luck with your SSI Open Water certification — exciting times ahead! 🤿🌊 We hope to see you again soon for more underwater adventures in Arrábida! 🌊🐠
We had good weather, unfortunately the visibility at Jardim das Gorgonias was bad. Eventhough the visibility was bad you could tell the site was rich in beautifal plantlife and fish. Bescause of the visibility the guide took us for the second dive to the other side of the harbour. Batelão. A beginner friendly and shallow side. The visibility was much better, but we unfortnately didn't see lots of fish. Still a lovely dive day with hot tea and lots of cookies and a cheerful and enthousiastic guide Katherin.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re glad you still enjoyed the dive day despite the difficult visibility at Jardim das Gorgónias. Catarina was happy to adapt the second dive to Batelão for better conditions and a relaxed experience. We’ll pass on your kind words to her 😊 Hope to welcome you back soon for even clearer waters and more marine life!
My scuba diving experience was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to Catarina and the other instructor, I don't remember the name (I am sorry). They made an exception for me for Wednesday dive, since it was my Birthday on that day. A gift from myself to me..and was really worth it! From the very beginning, she made me feel completely safe, confident, and excited for the dive. Her professionalism, patience, and passion for diving truly stood out. Catarina explained everything clearly and calmly, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free, even for someone who was feeling nervous at first. Underwater, she was attentive, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable, turning the dive into something magical rather than just an activity. The underwater scenery was breathtaking, but what made the experience exceptional was having such a dedicated and friendly instructor guiding the whole journey. Catarina’s enthusiasm is contagious, and it’s obvious that she genuinely loves what she does and cares deeply about her students having the best possible experience. I can honestly say this was one of the highlights of my trip, and I would highly recommend diving with Catarina to anyone, whether you are a complete beginner or already experienced. Thank you for an amazing adventure I will never forget! Thank youuuu so very much Catarina and team <3
Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review! 🎉 We feel truly honoured that you chose to celebrate your birthday diving with us — what an amazing gift to yourself! It makes us incredibly happy to know that the experience became such a special and unforgettable memory. Catarina and Luis will be so happy to read your words. They are both passionate about creating safe, relaxed, and memorable experiences for every diver, so knowing that you felt confident, supported, and excited throughout the dive means the world to us. Thank you as well for trusting us, especially if you were feeling nervous at first. Hearing that the dive became one of the highlights of your trip is exactly why we love what we do. 🌊🐠 It was a pleasure having you with us, and we truly hope to welcome you back for more underwater adventures in the future. Until next time — and once again, happy birthday! 🎂💙
