Mergulho na Ilha dos Pombos

Sea life Paradise is a very well Organised company, with an experienced team. We took our own snorkelling gear, but they have plenty of equipment there. Pigeon Island is very pretty but there is very little coral and while there is a diverse selection of tropical fish they aren’t plentiful. Unfortunately the day we went the conditions weren’t ideal and the wind got up and it rained. Nonetheless Jameel did his best to help us see what was there, so it was worthwhile going.

Pick up was on time Guide intodction was straight forward. Trip description wss incorrct, it states that you will walk in water from the shoreside, we were taken on a 2 minute boat ride and had to enter the water from the boat, not a comfortable experience for 1st timers. The 1st half of the snorkling was ok plenty of average fish but nothing spectacualr, then we followed the guide into deeper rougher waters where we didnt see anything, i know there is no guarrtees it was more about the rougher waters for beginners. We were then instructed the board the boat in open water that it harder than it sounds. Didnt think it was value for miney compared to previous trips on the island.

I didn't really rate this activity although the guide was great. We were taken just off shore and the visibility was very poor. The whole thing just seemed really rushed and it didn't feel like we were in the water more than 20 minutes. If I had known we were going so close to the shore, I wouldn't have booked this as I could have easily swum out to where we were.

Excellent experience! We were a little nervous booking outside of what our resort offered, but i'm so glad we did. This was a much more personalized experience, and our amazing guide, Barracuda, made sure we were safe and enjoyed ourselves. The only bummer was that we didn't get to see much since a storm the previous day had really stirred everything up and the water was a little murky. But overall still a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend!

Unfortunately the visibility in the water was very poor. We saw nothing. Can’t help Mother Nature but probably trip should have been cancelled due to poor conditions

The staff was thorough and delightful to work with. We saw a bazillion fish, dozens of species. They picked us up and brought us back, which no one else has done! What a terrific experience

First time snorkeling and what an experience. Lionfish is a calming and amazing instructor to have with you. The array of marine life to be seen was incredible. The activity is a "drift" snorkel so you don't need to be a strong swimmer as the current takes you from point A to point B and the boat collects you at the finish. The visibility, on our trip, was good. You could see most depths fairly clearly. Unfortunately I couldn't get my camera to unlock once I got in the water so I wasn't able to take any photographs. We loved the experience so much that we're working out how to squeeze in another trip before we leave the island. I definitely recommend this trip if you have a few hours to spare and want a relaxing time surrounded by nature.

The snorkeling was wonderful. Our guides were great. A little mixup at the start because we were meeting them at Pigeon Island and not being picked up. Their business is right at the end of the water taxi dock, which we did not know. Finally connected and all was good.

Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide would definitely recommend friendly staff not necessary to be expert swimmer

This was the most peaceful experience. The under water fish and water creatures is something that will never be forgotten. It was well with the experience. The crew were extremely patient and took their time to make sure this was a great experience even for someone that could not swim.
