Overall, I enjoyed the trip. However, my husband and I did get seasick on the way over with the very large waves crossing the ocean to the island. The walk to the fort was more of an uphill hike so anyone with mobility issues should be aware. Our guide, Phillip, was very nice and helped guide an older woman with a cane the whole way. Despite, the seasickness and long travel time to get there, the scenery and caves were beautiful.

What an amazing experience in these rocky islands that were sort of left behind by the North Atlantic tectonic plate! Diogo was our guide, and he was absolutely the best. This tour is packed with experiences, including a short hike on the island, entrance to the fortress, and an around-the-island boat tour. My favorite part was swimming, snorkeling, and visiting sea caves that are only accessible by swimming. This was such a great value, and I would do it all over again!

Experience was amazing the tour guide picked me up on time and was very explanatory about the city of Lisbon and the history of Portugal on out way to the boat. Boat ride was little bumpy but very comfortable. The tour guide was very kind to give us sea sick pill as soon as we got in the van to avoid the sea sick for those who have. But it really worth the boat ride to the island with an incredible view of the ocean, plus when you get there the tour in the island is great along with time for you to snorkeling, kayaking and swim. I had an amazing day!
