The adventure starts with a comfortable pick-up at your hotel in Mindelo or the surrounding area, where you'll be greeted by a friendly and experienced local guide. During the short trip to São Pedro Beach, you'll have the chance to hear interesting facts about the island of São Vicente, its marine life, and the importance of turtles to Cape Verde's ecosystem.
When you arrive at São Pedro Beach, one of the most beautiful on the island, you'll be welcomed by a team of professional instructors. Before you go into the water, you'll get a safety briefing and an explanation of how to use the snorkelling gear (mask, snorkel, and fins) correctly.
Then, with your guide, you'll enter the bay's crystal-clear waters, where the magic begins: you'll have the unique chance to swim side by side with sea turtles in their natural habitat. These majestic creatures are peaceful and curious, providing a thrilling and unforgettable experience.
Throughout the activity, the guides will always be nearby to ensure your safety and help you make the most of your snorkelling experience. Besides turtles, you'll also spot other marine species, like colourful tropical fish and typical Atlantic underwater life.
After the snorkelling session, you'll have some free time to relax on the beach, take photos, or simply enjoy the stunning scenery of São Pedro.
Finally, you'll head back to the vehicle for the return trip, wrapping up this experience with unique memories of São Vicente Island and your encounter with the sea turtles.
