What people are saying about Nichupté Lagoon

Absolutely unreal ! Luiz was a great guide. The boats are a great speed. The snorkelling was extremely clear ! Also great for beginners as the water is shallow. The company is very well organised and proper! Which was nice as we didn’t know what to expect.

Carlos was our Tour guide, what an absolute wonderful chap, highly passionate, really took the time to explain all, as for the tour of the coral reef, Carlos went above and beyond what was needed, would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Great fun activity! Your really the price! Very nice moment. The guide was super friendly and we even had the right to a tequila tasting after the jungle tour :)

The tour is highly recommended. You experience and see a lot. The staff was very competent and managed the excursion very well.

We really liked this activity for boat and snorkeling lovers. Danielle
