Definitely recommend kayaking with Sea emotions - Such a great experience, thank you! We were not sure if the area will be interesting, but it was amazing! Our guide was very nice and experienced, gave us lots of interesting facts about the nature and Madeira island. We saw many caves, birds and other animals. We took also a boat tour and saw very rare monk seal <3 Recommend kayaking with Sea emotions! Kristina

Great! - We had a great (and by chance private) kayak trip with Philippe! He was considerate about our fitnesslevel and gave us plenty of options to rest, whilst showing us some beautiful caves. He also shared some interesting geographical knowledge about the vulcanic rock, which we later on were able to recognise on our walks on the island. Filippe also told us that we were able to join a whale watching tour later that day, without pushing us to participate. We actually did go along on the boattour and saw pilot whales, which was absolutely incredible. Really recommend this kayaktour, especially with guidance from Filippe!

A must do! - A fantastic day with really great guides! The waters are clear and amazing for swimming/snorkeling. Kayaking in pairs or alone was so much fun and got to see so much. Lunch in the cafe was delicious. Lots of information given about the local area and history which was really interesting. Please make sure to wear sensible footwear as the pebble beach/stone staircase is difficult to navigate in flipflops/ sliders, it can also be cloudy and windy in the mornings. The tour also offers a pick up service which we found out about during the trip which was super useful.

Great kayaking trip! - We had a great morning kayaking with our guide Martim, he was chatty and knowledgeable and even though the weather was a bit cloudy we enjoyed the snorkelling spot he took us to. It was an experience that was well worth the money and we would definitely recommend doing. We even saw a heron, which was a first for Martim! Thanks for taking us out :) Sam and Lauren from Bristol.

Nice kayaking experience - It's nice location for kayaking. The guides were really friendly.
Snorkeling was a pleasant bonus.
Just don't forget water-resistant sunscreen, we were sunburned afterwards.

Kayaktour - Nice trip if you like nature en explanation of nature/coastline on the tour. Not for beginners when there is to much wind. It takes the pleasure away when your working so hard.
Guide was very nice and helpfull and gave al lot of information. He also made al lot of pictures witch you get for free after you send an email.
5 minutes from the harbour on a RHIB with high speed was nice.

Nice location - Nice kayak adventure. Hard kayaking though, if you'r alone as adult, with a kid in front. The guide didn't notice that, until my husband was exhaulted. So he hadn't enough power to follow for the snorkeling. Except for that it was a good tour. No instructions for snorkeling though.

Our kayak was sinking - Pros:
The tour guide was nice and provided good information about the landscape and history.
Cons:
Our 3 man kayak was sinking the entire time which made it very hard to paddle and caused us to capsize. The guides seemed reluctant to help.
There was really not a whole lot to see. The location was just a bit boring.
