Nice guides, who were also very attentive to our two children (8 & 11 years). Good explanations and assistance with equipment. Just the boat trip to the island where we snorkeled was fun. Snorkeling itself was a great experience - we saw many different fish, starfish and sea urchins. All in all a really cool tour - thank you!
Lots of different fish seen. Swimming with schools of fish. Very sympathetic guide, has shown us a lot and explained. There was even spray against the fogging. Cool fast boat not to forget. Small improvement suggestion: Fins to borrow would still be handy.
A very good experience, the guide and the captain of the boat very attentive at all times, looking after our well-being.
I made a snorkeling trip with Iara and Nuno. We were only 3 tourists and have been taken to a super calm area, with many rocks where we have seen a lot of fish. Iara has explained to us each different fish we saw from which species it was and a brief explanation of that most important thing: how it reproduced, difference between males and females, etc. every time she saw a new fish she called us and went down to point it out. Then, on the boat (a speedboat), he has shown us all the fish that we have seen in Din-A3 plasticized. We have seen rays, pufferfish, grass, starfish (she has shown us a red in her beautiful hand!), and countless other species that I do not remember. Then we did a swim without neoprene in the sea. In Captain Nino, super friendly, he approached the boat near where we were snorkeling. Super recommended!
Always worth seeing the wonders of the ocean up close The water is nice and clear and many fish seen! Enjoyed (but chilly after a while, definitely bring a towel on the boat for afterwards)
We had an amazing snorkel experience with Joao. We had two boats to accommodate our large group. We saw many different fish and Joao found an octopus for us! He also found sea urchin shells for us and explained all about the marine life we saw. The team was really great with kids (we had kids ranging in age from 9-18 years old). I highly recommend Ocean Emotion for a great Azores experience.
Fun little snorkeling trip that won't take the whole day! Guides were very nice/professional and got the group kitted out quickly before we headed out. They take you to an island that's ~10-15 mins from Angra and then let you get in the water. I had over an hour to snorkel before we headed back. Wetsuits are provided as well so you don't get cold as quickly.
