“We had such a great time during our surfing lesson! We went as a family of five (plus one extra), all complete beginners with very different levels of athletic ability, and we were all able to get up and catch some waves. That in itself says a lot! Our instructor was super friendly, patient, and gave clear instructions that made it easy to understand the basics. He kept things fun and relaxed while still making sure we were safe and learning. It was an awesome experience and a perfect intro to surfing. Highly recommend it to anyone thinking of giving it a try”

I had chosen a private tour of the entire east of the island with a visit to the tea factory, stop at viewpoints, waterfalls, very pleasant lunch, visit to Furnas. Natacha took the time to please us, she was very punctual at our hotel, she is a wonderful person in addition to being a top guide. I recommend 100%.”
