Lotigi Seb
A superb catamaran cruise just for the two of us, with a very discreet skipper and a magnificent sunset with Portuguese “champagne.” The perfect place for a marriage proposal… 🙂
François da Silva
We chose the “Tailor-made City Discovery” option for a private tour, and we were delighted! Our tour ended with a tasting of “petiscos” and Portuguese specialties. This visit is perfect at the beginning of your stay to enjoy the guide’s recommendations (places to visit, restaurants, bars, nightlife) for the rest of your trip.
Anais Cabrol

Jennifer Haguenier
A 2-hour tuktuk tour organized almost last minute. We wanted to kickstart our stay with an overview of the city. Mission accomplished, thanks to the professionalism and responsiveness of the organizer and driver, Khalid. Thank you both. We ended up at a great restaurant recommended by our driver (dropped off right at the door) – top-notch!!
Karine Gagnon
We had a great time on a privately chartered sailboat for 6 people. The captain and skipper were very friendly and adapted to our mood. We originally planned for 2 hours, but eventually opted for 3 and didn’t regret it. Thank you!
Nathalie Coto
Everyone fell in love with the perspective offered by the catamaran on this beautiful city and the atmosphere that is both intimate and open, allowing for smoother conversations than in a restaurant. Beautifully presented bar and buffet dinner; the option to have our own music; a friendly and professional crew; and, before the event, Tania was always available to answer our questions. Thank you!!
