Canyoning was a surprising hit amongst our family and we were particularly impressed with the ability of the activity guides to cater for a wide range of abilities. Whale watching came a close second, as we were fortunate with the weather conditions and the knowledge and skills of all those involved in the team. The holiday manages to combine activities to please adults and children alike and…

This was a really great holiday. Our guide Inez was very knowledgeable, very helpful and very passionate about the island.

Cornil and Mark were great local reps. Their knowledge and enthusiasm were wonderful. (Most enjoyable activity): Dawn - Sea Kayaking. It was amazing to be able to zig zag along the shore getting through tiny gaps then out into the deeper water; Richard - lazy boat day and diving - it was great to be able to swim then laze with a private boat, also conquered fears with diving; Annabelle - lazy boat…

Activity rep/guides, Mima and Lovro, were superb. We've done four activity holidays and these were by far and away the best we've had. Very well organised, flexible to changes if possible, very safety conscious, but a lightness of touch in dealing with a large mixed group of differing abilities.

This holiday was simply amazing. The partner company in the Azores, were extremely professional and their staff very personable. Their knowledge was fantastic and their enthusiasm contagious. We were looked after by Sandy and Albert and couldn't have asked for more from a guide. All equipment used was of a professional standard and we never once questioned our safety even though we were at times…
Read more doing things we'd never done before. As a family, we were blown away by the opportunity to swim with wild dolphins and even swam with a Hammerhead shark! The ethos and methods used ensure that the wild animals remain wild and their natural behaviour are not affected. It was an honour to be in the water with these creatures and our guide Albert worked very hard to find them for us whilst keeping a safe distance. If you want to visit the most beautiful part of this planet and feel truly alive, then this is the place for you.

The local guide (Thomas) was extremely knowledgeable and really went the extra mile to be helpful. Local activity guides were very good at their job and also helped to make the activities as much fun as possible. Rafting was the most fun for all the family as we were all involved together. Overall it was a fantastic trip and we will certainly do something like this again in the future.

Ivano was an amazing holiday guide, and very engaging and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble, and he went way beyond just getting us to and from activities. He checked we all had the correct equipment, checked on us during the activities and made sure we were all happy as we went along, took loads of photos and sent them to our mobiles. He found us lunch cafes in small towns away from the…

The activity team were the nicest guys you can wish to meet. Their pride and knowledge of the local area were excellent and inspiring. Their encouragement during the activities was also what made the holiday. Everything was enjoyable.
