This was a very average experience.
Pros: The destinations are beautiful and you can't get to these places without a boat tour. This was a pretty good one; it included water and the guide was knowledgable. We booked the Portuguese speaking one because we felt it was ridiculous to charge 2x the price for English speaking. You don't necessarily need to speak Portuguese for this - half our group did not. We were lucky that one of the guests could translate so we still got the information about each spot. The lunch spot is pricy (like all of the island) but very good food and they accept cards. 45 min is a perfect amount of time at each place. I had thought it would be too short, but it was exactly right.
Cons: This tour advertises that snorkels are provided for rent but that is NOT true. You have to buy them beforehand. This was very disappointing because we did not find this out until the first stop. This was the only hard part of not booking the English tour is that we had a hard time communicating about issues like this. Also the address listed here is wrong, so we arrived at the listed address 15 min early and it was a different company. Thankfully they all talk to each other (small island) so this guide took us to the proper place after we had waiting 30 minutes... this was very frustrating. There was no communication from this company about the event prior to the start and no way to contact them once we realized we were in the wrong place.
